Note. All prices indicative — Melbourne eastern suburbs, 2025–2026. Actual cost depends on site access, soil conditions, and material selections. Walls over 1m may require engineering. We always provide a detailed, itemised quote before starting. A 20% deposit secures your start date; for larger projects we invoice progress payments through the build, with the balance due on completion.

What Affects Price

Understanding your quote

Site access is often the biggest variable. Good rear access for a mini excavator is significantly cheaper than hand-carrying materials through a narrow side gate. This alone can add $3,000–$5,000.

Soil conditions vary across Melbourne's east — from sandy loam to heavy clay to rock. Clay needs more drainage work. Rock increases excavation costs.

Material selections give you the most direct control over budget. We always present options and explain exactly what you gain or lose at each price point.
