Bellarine Excavation, Done Locally

Drysdale sits in one of the busiest stretches of the Bellarine. New homes going up across Curlewis, infill builds through Clifton Springs, retaining walls and rural-residential blocks needing levelling for sheds and slabs. Every one of those jobs starts with the ground, and getting the ground right takes a local crew that knows the soil, the access constraints, and the council requirements of the peninsula.

Select Civil Group is based in the Geelong region and works across Drysdale and the wider Bellarine daily. Whether you are a homeowner needing a single retaining wall, a builder cutting a site for a new build, or a developer running a multi-stage project, we bring the right machinery and the right operators to do the work efficiently and to engineering specifications.

Excavation Services for Drysdale Projects

The four services Drysdale homeowners and builders ask us for most often. Every job is quoted on the specifics of your site, not a flat rate.

Retaining Walls

Concrete retaining walls engineered for the Bellarine's mixed terrain. From short garden walls through to engineered structural walls for sloping blocks. Often paired with the earthworks above when a level building platform is the end goal.

How a Drysdale Job Runs

Quote to handover, the same six steps on every job. No surprises, no scope creep, no chasing for updates.

Step 01

Enquiry

Send the site address, a quick description of the work, and any plans or photos you have. The more we know, the sharper the quote.

Step 02

Site Walk

For larger jobs, we visit the block to check access, soil, levels and obstacles the photos don't show. Most quotes come back within 24 hours.

Step 03

Fixed Quote

Itemised, written, and locked in. Spoil cartage, disposal and machinery are accounted for so there are no surprises at the end.

Step 04

Programmed Start

Confirmed start and finish dates that we hold to. We coordinate with your builder, engineer, or following trades so the ground is ready when they are.

Step 05

On Site

Excavator and operator on the ground, working to your engineer's specs. Daily check-ins with whoever is coordinating the build.

Step 06

Handover

Final levels checked, site cleaned, and your site is ready for the next stage. We are still a phone call away if something comes up later.

Frequently Asked

The questions we get most from Drysdale homeowners and builders.

Yes. Drysdale, Clifton Springs, Curlewis, Portarlington, St Leonards and surrounding Bellarine suburbs are all within our core service area. We are based in the Geelong region and work across the peninsula daily.

Every site is different. Costs depend on the volume of material to be moved, access conditions, soil type, spoil disposal and how level the existing block is. We give an obligation-free quote within 24 hours once we have the site details.

Most residential site cuts take one to three days depending on the volume of cut and fill, access, and whether spoil needs to be removed. Larger commercial and subdivision works can run longer. We confirm a programmed start and finish date as part of the quote.

Yes. Spoil cartage and disposal are handled as part of the job unless the client wants to retain material on site. We work with licensed disposal sites and account for cartage in the quote so there are no surprise costs at the end.

We work across residential, commercial and civil projects. For homeowners and small builders that is everything from a single retaining wall or driveway through to a full site cut and slab. For larger projects we partner with builders, developers and contractors across the Bellarine and Geelong region.
