Information
At HGL Excavations, we offer a full range of excavation and earthmoving services across the Hawkesbury and surrounding areas. From site cuts and trenching to retaining walls and drainage, no job is too big or small.
We’re a small local business with strong connections to other trusted trades, meaning we can coordinate complete jobs efficiently and at an affordable price.
Our equipment includes a CAT 1.8-tonne excavator — ideal for residential and tight-access work — and a 3.5-tonne Canter tipper for quick and flexible haulage.
Larger machinery can also be sourced when required.
Reliable, safety-focused, and easy to work with — we take pride in getting the job done right the first time.
Services
At HGL Excavations, we provide a wide range of earthmoving and excavation services across the Hawkesbury and surrounding areas. From tight-access residential jobs to larger rural and civil projects, every job is handled with the same commitment to quality, safety, and efficiency.
Whether you need trenching, site cuts, retaining walls, driveway preparation, or land clearing, we’ve got the gear and experience to get it done right the first time. We also work closely with trusted local tradies and contractors to deliver complete, affordable solutions from start to finish.
Basic Services
We handle all general excavation work, including trenching, pad cuts, retaining wall preparation and installations, driveway cuts, concrete prep, rock breaking, and post hole auger or pier holes. Every job is carried out with care, precision, and attention to detail to ensure a clean finish ready for the next stage of your project.
Rural Services
We specialise in rural excavation and property development — from irrigation and fire-suppression system preparation to driveway grading, dam clearing, and rural road construction.
For extended projects, we’re fully equipped to stay onsite and operate off-grid, ensuring consistent progress and minimal downtime on jobs longer than two days.
Our Range of Gear
We’re a small but growing company, currently operating a CAT 1.8T mini excavator with a full air-conditioned cab, standing 2.4 m high and 1 m wide, with a working weight of 2032 kg. Our machine is equipped with 250 mm and 450 mm digging buckets (with Tiger teeth for rocky ground), a 1 m mud bucket, ripper, stick rake, CAT B1 rock breaker, and CAT A11 auger drive with 200 mm and 300 mm bits.
We also run a 1 T 79 Series ute and a 3.5 T Canter tipper with a two-way tailgate for flexible haulage.
If your job requires something larger, we can source additional equipment — from bigger diggers and posi-tracks to compactors, dozers, and graders — and even arrange large-scale rock sawing.
With over 30 years’ combined experience across quarrying, civil, and scrap-metal operations (including Tier-1 projects), Todd can coordinate the right machinery for any project — big or small.

I can highly recommend Todd. He’s a very skilled operator. He changed the camber of my long driveway and installed drainage pipes so that water would flow without gouging out the driveway or needing gutters. He saved me a lot of money — the work he did has withstood years of heavy rain.
Since then he has cleared a lot of lantana on steep slopes, revealing more workable land without damaging the bush. He managed large burn piles, cleared scrap metal, and dealt with stumps from fallen trees. If I need anything done, I always ask Todd first.

Can't recommend Todd highly enough. We’ve used Todd a few times now and he’s been fantastic every single time. Always on time, easy to deal with, and he gets the job done properly without cutting corners. He even helped sort out a few tricky site issues we hadn’t expected, and did it without any fuss. Honest pricing and great work — exactly what you want.

“Todd went above and beyond for me.”
I can’t thank Todd enough for the work he’s done on my property. What started as a small job turned into so much more — he went out of his way to tidy up and fix issues that weren’t even part of the original plan. The attention to detail and pride he takes in his work really shows. He left everything looking incredible, and I was genuinely blown away by how much extra effort he put in. Reliable, honest, and hardworking — I wouldn’t use anyone else!
