Who We Are
We dig it so you don't have to
At Palms Earthmoving, we’re not just digging dirt; we’re digging into over 30 years of family-run expertise! We're a down-to-earth family who love what we do - moving dirt and making your project easier from the ground up or down.
Whether it is a backyard tidy-up, site cut for that new shed or building your dream home, driveway construction, land clearing or any aspect of residential and rural earthworks, we bring the right machinery, a can-do attitude and a good sense of humour to every job.

What We Do
We move dirt
But more importantly, we make projects easier. We know earthworks can be overwhelming; that's why we keep things simple: clear communications, honest advice, and quality work done right the first time. A practical brain, a steady hand, and reliable earthmoving you can count on.
We show up when we say we will, talk to you like a human and treat your property like it's our own. No shortcuts, no drama -just honest earthmoving done properly, with a few laughs along the way.
Driveways & Roads
We design and build gravel driveways and access roads that are made to last. From site prep and drainage to quality gravel and a clean finish, we do it right from the ground up. Whether it is a residential driveway or a rural access road, we create solid, practical surfaces that look good, handle traffic and stand up to the elements.
Land Clearing
We offer land clearing for everything from small residential blocks to multi-hectare properties. Whether you are opening up space for a build, improving access, or tidying up overgrown land, we clear efficiently and with care. Our focus is on smart clearing - removing what needs to go, preserving what matters and leaving your land clean, usable and ready for what's next
Site Cuts
We do site cuts that actually behave. Whether it's for a house, pool, shed or rural build, we turn slopes into solid, level pads without the headache. We take care of the hard work, so when it's time to build, everything sits exactly where it should.
Construction
Sandstone Block Retaining Walls that work hard and look good doing it. From shaping the ground to placing each block just right, we create strong, long-lasting walls that hold their ground and add natural character to your space - because retaining walls don't have to be boring.
Drainage
From pipework and headwalls to full rural drainage solutions, we make sure water goes where it's meant to (and not where it causes problems). Whether it's managing runoff around a home or handling water across larger rural properties, we design and install practical drainage that protects your land and keeps everything flowing smoothly
The Fiddly Bits
We also handle the bits and pieces of earthworks that don't always fit neatly into a category.
Trenching, pad prep, landscaping preparation and general ground reshaping - if it involves dirt, machinery and making land more usable, chances are we can help. We dig it so you don't have to!
