LANDSCAPING AND EARTHMOVING SERVICES
BIG IDEAS.... TOUGH TERRAIN.... SERIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS!
Got a driveway that’s seen better days?
A drainage problem that turns your property into a swamp every winter?
A slope you thought you’d never be able to use?
Or a pile of massive rocks and an idea that needs the right machinery — and the right people — to bring it to life?
Give the CHICKS that DIG the DIRT a call. 👍
At Thumbs Up Garden Care Landscaping & Earthworks, we specialise in transforming challenging outdoor spaces into practical, functional and seriously impressive results.
With 20 years in business, our own earthmoving equipment and a hands-on approach from start to finish, we take on the jobs that need more than just a shovel and a wheelbarrow.
From massive mudrock retaining walls and rock staircases to driveways, drainage, culverts, excavation and complete outdoor transformations, we don’t just make things look good.
We make them work!
🪨 MUDROCK RETAINING WALLS & ROCK STEPS
This is where we really love to get creative.
There’s something pretty special about taking enormous pieces of natural rock and turning them into a retaining wall, staircase or feature that looks like it was always meant to be there.
We construct mudrock retaining walls, natural rock steps and large-scale rock features, carefully selecting and positioning each rock to work with the natural contours of your property.
Whether we’re retaining a difficult slope, creating usable levels or building an impressive entrance, every project is individually shaped to suit the site.
No cookie-cutter landscaping. No two projects are the same.
🚜 DRIVEWAYS & ACCESS
Your driveway should do more than get you from the road to the house.
Rural and steep properties can be tough on driveways. Poor drainage, incorrect falls, potholes, washouts and years of traffic can quickly turn a driveway into a mess.
We construct, reshape and restore rural and residential driveways, including:
Driveway grading • reshaping & crowning • preparation • compaction • drainage • spoon drains • culverts • gravel placement
Our focus isn’t simply making it look good when we leave.
It’s about building it properly so it performs when the weather turns ugly.
💧 DRAINAGE, SPOON DRAINS & CULVERTS
Because water always finds somewhere to go. Let’s make sure it’s the right place.
Good drainage can make the difference between a property that works and one that’s constantly battling erosion, boggy areas, washed-out driveways and unwanted water.
We can assess the lay of your property and construct practical drainage solutions including spoon drains, culverts, property drainage, stormwater management and rock-lined drainage areas.
We don’t believe in simply hiding water problems.
We work with the natural fall of the land to manage them properly.
🚧 EARTHWORKS & EXCAVATION
Sometimes you just need to move some serious dirt.
With our own earthmoving machinery, we provide excavation and earthworks for residential, rural and landscaping projects throughout Mansfield Shire and surrounding areas.
From detailed excavation through to larger-scale reshaping, we can tackle excavation, site preparation, levelling, trenching, clearing, slashing, material movement and general earthworks.
And because we’re landscapers as well as machine operators, we’re always thinking about what the finished project needs to become, not simply how much dirt we can move.
🅿️ CARPARK & HARDSTAND AREAS
Need somewhere solid and practical for vehicles, trailers, machinery or additional parking?
We can excavate, level, prepare and compact areas for carparks, vehicle access and hardstand areas, with careful consideration given to levels and drainage.
Because there’s not much point creating a great parking area if the first decent Mansfield downpour turns it into a swimming pool.
