"Eugene has taken our property from a messy builders site to a fully landscaped and planted home. This included earthworks, rock-walls, bringing in top-soil and mulch, levelling lawns and planting over 400 plants. His expertise with his machinery provided excellent results in a cost effective manner. His knowledge and expertise brought a landscape design to reality. He was always on-time, a good communicator and easy and pleasant to deal with. Delighted with the end result and having dealt with many tradies he is one we can absolutely recommend."

Access to the area was really challenging and Eugene whirled and twirled on his machines like it was no problem at all. It's like watching an artist at work! He came up with great ideas and solutions during discussions and was a real pleasure to deal with. The area has been left very tidy and all for a very reasonable price. We're super happy and highly recommend Eugene and The Digging Dingo services to all."

"Eugene arrived on short notice to bore 8 x 350 mm holes for a retaining wall. Access to the property was very restricted and also involved climbing and descending sets of concrete steps using planks. Eugene did this carefully and efficiently. Both entering and leaving the property. The holes were bored cleanly and the dirt left in tidy piles as directed. This operator is worth knowing. And, he related to the householder (myself) well. Easy to talk to and open with what he is doing on the job. Highly recommended. My first call next time. You left behind a very happy customer. The cost was very acceptable. Well done Eugene."

This involved scraping off tilings from an existing track

Levelling an access track

Increasing the circumference of the existing turn-a-round

Boring two strainer post holes (For a future fence)

Replacing the tiles on the reconstructed loop

Thanks Eugene. You will be recommended highly"
