Both customers mention Peter being prompt with replies and sticking to the schedule he promised. One used him to scrape front and rear yards, then lay topsoil so lawn could go down cleanly. The other described an exceptionally well run business, including bobcat work for residential or commercial sites. Only a small sample to go on, so treat this as a first look rather than a long track record. If you need site prep, a yard scrape or general bobcat work in Brown Hill, ask Peter directly about access, timing and whether your job needs extra material like topsoil.

Best for: yard scrapes before laying new lawn, topsoil and site levelling, and bobcat work on smaller residential or commercial sites.

About P & J Earthworks Ballarat Excavator Hire

Peter runs a solo excavator and bobcat service out of Brown Hill. He handles yard scrapes, topsoil spreading and general site prep for homes and small commercial jobs. One customer made the point that their place no longer looks like a building site. He answered queries quickly and showed up when he said he would. Both reviews mention how easy he is to deal with. The business has been running around 17 years, so this is not a fly-by-night setup. That matters when you are booking heavy machinery for tight access yards.

Best for: yard scrapes before laying new lawn, topsoil and site levelling, and bobcat work on smaller residential or commercial sites.
