Our Services

Dino Diggers provides professional earthmoving, excavation, vegetation management and machinery hire across Central Queensland. With more than three decades of hands-on experience in farming, mining and civil construction, we focus on safe methods, accurate results and dependable timelines. The sections below explain each service in detail, how the work is carried out, what equipment is used and why it benefits your project.

Earthworks and excavation

Site cuts, trenches, foundations and ground shaping for residential, rural and commercial projects

Earthworks and excavation

Earthworks prepare the ground so everything that follows is stable and long lasting. This includes removing high spots, filling low areas, shaping levels and forming accurate grades for drainage. For excavation we create trenches for utilities, footings for structures and cuts for pads and driveways. The work is sequenced to control material movement, reduce handling and protect the surrounding area.

How we do it

  • Assess access, soil type, underground services and fall levels before starting
  • Select bucket or attachment for the task and ground conditions
  • Excavate in controlled passes to maintain line, depth and batter angles
  • Place or stockpile spoil efficiently and compact as required
  • Finish with trimming passes so levels match plan and water falls where it should

Why you need it

  • Correct foundations reduce cracking, ponding and costly rework later
  • Accurate levels speed up the trades that follow and improve overall finish
  • Good spoil management lowers trucking costs and site disruption

Mulching and slashing

Vegetation management for access, safety and property presentation

Mulching and slashing services

Mechanical mulching and slashing control regrowth, thin scrub and pasture height without burning or large haul-out. Material is processed on the spot into chips or short stubble that settles back into the soil. This approach is suited to tracks, fence lines, fire breaks and broad areas that need height control or improved access.

  • Leucaena management and regrowth reduction
  • Fire break formation and maintenance
  • Pasture and roadside maintenance
  • Access restoration to dams, yards and outbuildings

Wet hire and dry hire

Flexible options to suit your schedule, skills and budget

Wet and dry hire equipment

Wet hire

Machine supplied with an experienced operator who handles setup, safe operation and finish quality. Best for time-critical work, technical digging or when supervision is limited.

  • Faster completion with less downtime
  • Operator manages safety zones and levels
  • Ideal for complex or sensitive sites

Dry hire

Machine only, supplied on a trailer or delivered to site. Suits licensed and competent operators who want maximum flexibility and control of the work program.

  • Cost effective for ongoing tasks
  • Well-maintained machines reduce downtime
  • Pickup and return options to match your timing

Site preparation and property works

Pads, driveways, drainage shaping and landscape readiness

Site preparation and property works

Good preparation saves time for every trade that follows. We create level pads for sheds, tanks and slabs, shape driveways for fall and finish, and prepare garden and retaining areas for landscaping. Attention to heights, crossfall and subgrade keeps water away from structures and reduces maintenance later.

  • Pad cuts and fills for sheds and tanks
  • Driveway formation and shaping
  • Drainage correction and run-off control
  • Site clean-up and spoil removal

Regrowth control and land clearing

Restore access and safety with targeted clearing and tidy finishes

Regrowth control and land clearing

Regrowth can quickly choke access tracks, paddocks and boundaries. We use a forestry mulcher or heavy-duty slasher to reduce height and density, open up fence lines and create safer movement around the property. Work is planned to protect permanent plantings and structures while meeting clearance goals.

  • Regrowth reduction and clearing
  • Leucaena and weed control
  • Fire break and boundary clearing
  • Vegetation management for large blocks

Equipment overview

The right equipment improves speed, accuracy and safety. Our fleet covers everything from small access areas to heavy-duty land clearing.

2.7 tonne excavator

2.7 tonne excavator

Compact yet powerful. Equipped with tilt hitch and full bucket set, this excavator allows for precise digging and shaping in confined areas. Ideal for trenching, footings, and detailed earthworks.

1.4 tonne excavator

1.4 tonne excavator

The go-to machine for tight-access residential jobs. Light, stable, and easy to transport while still capable of effective trenching and pad work where space is limited.

Dingo mini skid steer

Dingo mini skid steer

Perfect for landscaping and smaller projects. With multiple attachments — including bucket, spreader bar, trencher and auger set — the Dingo handles leveling, post holes and garden preparation efficiently.

75-3 Kubota skid steer

75-3 Kubota skid steer

A heavy-duty machine for serious productivity. Runs a 6’ slasher and forestry mulcher for vegetation management, as well as pallet forks and broom attachments for property clean-up.

Tip truck and 11 tonne body truck

Tip truck and 11 tonne body truck

Reliable haulage for material and machinery transport. The tip truck is operable on a car licence, while the 11T body truck manages larger volumes and supports efficient on-site operations.
