Professional Excavations
Ros books it, Kevin digs it — customers name both and say the site is left immaculate.
That said, the 5 reviews we saw are unusually consistent: Ros gets named directly for her communication and organisation, Kevin for the quality of on-site work, and multiple customers independently mention fair pricing and a clean finish. The business is GST-registered and has been operating for around 26 years, which at least confirms this isn't a fly-by-night operation. If you're considering them, it's worth asking upfront about scheduling lead times and whether Kevin specifically will be handling your job, since he's the operator customers have praised by name.

About Professional Excavations
Ros and Kevin are the two names that surface repeatedly across these reviews, and they have clearly defined roles: Ros runs the front-of-house and scheduling side of the business with a warmth and efficiency that customers notice immediately, while Kevin is the one on the ground doing the hands-on excavation and earthworks. With roughly 26 years of operation behind them, this is a company that has stayed small enough to maintain accountability — you're not being handed off to a rotating crew of strangers. The work spans residential excavation, bobcat operations, and material-handling tasks like pumping chip bark to hard-to-reach areas of a property, suggesting they're equipped for jobs that require more than a standard dig. What sets them apart in the reviews is a consistent emphasis on site presentation after the job is done — one customer described the property as 'immaculate when the job was complete,' which is not something you often see called out in excavation work. They appear to suit homeowners with specific, smaller-scale earthmoving needs who want a well-organised, fairly priced contractor rather than a large civil operator.
Best for: residential minor excavation and earthmoving, awkward-access material placement like chip bark or debris, and homeowners who want a well-organised, fairly priced contractor with clear communication from booking through to completion.

Who will I be dealing with at Professional Excavations?+
Based on the reviews we saw, there are two key people: Ros handles bookings, communication, and job coordination and is mentioned by multiple customers as being easy and professional to deal with. Kevin is the operator who performs the on-site excavation and earthworks. Customers who've named both speak highly of each in their respective roles, so it's worth confirming with Ros at the time of booking whether Kevin will be assigned to your job.
What kinds of jobs does Professional Excavations typically take on?+
Reviews mention residential excavation, bobcat work, large-scale timber and debris clearing, and material placement tasks like pumping chip bark to the rear of a property. They appear to handle both minor excavation for homeowners and larger cleanup jobs involving multiple truck loads of material. The business is based in Bohle, QLD, and reviews don't specify a service radius, so it's worth confirming your location is within their coverage area when you call.
What do customers say about their pricing?+
Two separate customers in the reviews we analysed specifically called out the pricing as fair or great value — one used the phrase 'the price was very fair' and another mentioned 'a great price' in the same breath as praising the quality of work. That's a meaningful signal in a small review pool. For your own job, it's still worth requesting a written quote upfront so you have something to compare.
Do they clean up properly after the job?+
Site cleanup is one of the standout details in the reviews — one customer described the property as 'immaculate when the job was complete' and specifically noted the team took pride in tidying up. Another review praised the efficiency of the bobcat operator in clearing large volumes of timber. This suggests cleanup is treated as part of the job rather than an afterthought, though you should always confirm expectations before work begins.
How long have they been in business and are they a legitimate operation?+
Professional Excavations has been operating for approximately 26 years and is registered as a company with an active GST registration, which means they're set up to provide proper tax invoices for your job. With only 9 Google reviews across that time, their online footprint is modest — but the longevity and structure of the business suggest an established operation rather than a newer entrant. It's always reasonable to ask for proof of public liability insurance before any excavation work begins on your property.
