Dig It Once, Dig It Right

Wollongong blocks are unforgiving. Steep escarpment falls, shallow sandstone and reactive clay all demand that excavation and earthworks start with a proper read of the ground before anything moves. At Retain by Theo, we handle site clearing, bulk digs, benching on slopes, footing and trench work, driveway cuts, pool and shed pads and spoil removal across Wollongong.

Access is often the real constraint on local sites. We bring dingo class plant down side passages where a standard excavator will not fit, so tight blocks do not slow the job down. Services are located and levels set out before any material moves. Shifting earth twice is the costliest mistake on any earthworks job. We manage sediment, keep neighbours unaffected and leave levels ready for the next trade.


The same crew builds our retaining walls and installs landscaping. To talk through your Wollongong site with Retain by Theo, call 0417 661 224 for a free quote.

Site Work We Take On

Most retaining projects start with moving dirt, and plenty of our clients need that part on its own. We size the plant to the access rather than the other way round, which matters on Illawarra blocks.

  • Site cuts, benching and bulk excavation
  • Footing, service and drainage trenching
  • Driveway, pathway and access track formation
  • Shed, pool and hardstand pad preparation
  • Land clearing, spoil removal and site levelling
  • Narrow-access mini excavator and dingo-class plant available
