COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR EXCAVATION AND LANDSCAPING  SERVICES

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in your backyard excavation service?

Our backyard excavation service covers digging, levelling and clearing soil to prepare your property for the next stage. In Camden we recently completed a full backyard excavation for a new patio area, making the space ready for paving and landscaping. Every project is carried out with the right machinery and a focus on safety.

Can you remove an old pool and fill it in?

Yes, we provide complete pool dig outs and pool fill in services. In the Blue Mountains we have removed damaged pools, filled the area with quality material, compacted it properly and left the site ready for turf. Pool removals are a safe and cost effective way to reclaim backyard space.

How do you prepare a site for building or landscaping?

Site preparation starts with clearing debris, levelling the ground and compacting soil so it is stable. In Glenbrook our crew has prepared blocks for home extensions and landscaping projects by ensuring proper drainage and solid foundations. This step is essential before concrete, turf or paving is installed.

What types of retaining walls do you build?

We build sandstone log walls, sandstone block walls, concrete walls and block walls depending on your needs. In Lithgow we constructed a sandstone retaining wall to manage a steep slope, complete with drainage behind the wall for stability. Our retaining walls are built to last and add value to your property.

Do you provide stormwater drainage solutions?

Yes, we install complete stormwater drainage systems. In Mulgoa we helped a homeowner who had water pooling against the back of their house. Our team installed swale drains, ag lines and stormwater piping that carried the water away to a safe outlet. Good drainage keeps your property dry and protects both your home and garden.

How do you prepare and lay new turf?

Turf preparation starts with clearing old grass and debris before levelling and adding quality topsoil. In the Hawkesbury we prepared a large backyard by cutting out compacted clay and replacing it with fresh soil before laying Sir Walter turf.

The turf was rolled, watered and ready for use within weeks. By doing the prep properly, turf roots establish quickly and lawns stay healthy for years.

What is involved in driveway and carpark preparation?

Driveway and carpark preparation includes excavation, trimming, compaction and applying a roadbase or subgrade layer. In Colo we prepared a rural driveway by removing unsuitable soil, shaping the levels, and compacting layers of crushed rock.

This gave the property a strong and well drained base ready for hotmix. The right prep work means the final surface lasts longer and resists cracking, potholes and water damage.

Can you build a fire pit area in my backyard?

Yes, we can cut out and install custom fire pits to suit your backyard. In Richmond we built a fire pit with sandstone surrounds and installed drainage under the base to prevent water pooling after rain. Fire pits are a popular feature because they extend the use of your backyard into the cooler months and create a great space to gather with family and friends.

Every yard is different, and we design fire pit areas to match the landscape. If your block is on a slope or hill, we can dig out and bench the area so the pit sits level and safe. For flatter yards, we can cut out or simply level the surface and install an above-ground fire pit with a strong base. We also create custom surrounds such as sandstone or block seating, paving, or gravel pads that make the fire pit the true centrepiece of your yard.

For clients who want something unique, we can add custom steps, retaining features and built-in seating around the fire pit. This turns a simple fire pit into a fully designed outdoor space that looks impressive and adds value to your home. We always take care to place the pit in a safe location with the right clearances and proper drainage so you can enjoy it for years without issues.

Whether it’s a small pit for a backyard in Penrith or a larger custom feature for an acreage block, West Sydney Landscapes has the skills and equipment to bring your fire pit ideas to life.

Do you offer land clearing for residential and rural properties?

Yes, we carry out land clearing on properties of all sizes. In Dural we recently cleared a semi-rural block by removing scrub, fallen trees and stumps before burning piles in a safe location. Land clearing is an essential first step before new builds, landscaping or farming. It improves safety by removing hazards and also makes the block easier to maintain. Our team uses the right machinery for the job and we always leave the site neat and ready for the next stage.

How do you maintain and clean a dam?

Dam cleaning involves removing silt, weeds and repairing banks so your water storage is safe and functional. In Lithgow we cleaned a farm dam that had lost nearly a metre of depth due to years of sediment build up.

We excavated the silt, repaired the banks, reshaped the inlet, and ensured water flow was restored. Regular maintenance extends the life of your dam and makes sure you have the storage you need for stock, crops or firefighting.

What are the benefits of a roadbase driveway?

Roadbase driveways are durable and cost effective, especially for larger blocks. In the Blue Mountains we constructed a long roadbase driveway for a rural property that needed reliable access for cars and heavy vehicles.

Roadbase compacts well, drains easily and can be topped with gravel or left as is. This type of driveway suits farms and acreage where long stretches of sealed paving would be too costly. It is a strong, practical and affordable option for rural and semi-rural properties.

Why is subsoil drainage important?

Subsoil drainage prevents water from building up under the ground where you cannot see it. In Camden we installed ag lines behind a retaining wall that was holding back a sloped garden.

Without drainage, water pressure builds and can cause walls to crack or fail. By installing perforated pipes wrapped in fabric and backfilled with gravel, water is safely directed away. Subsoil drainage is one of the most important steps in keeping retaining walls, driveways and lawns in good condition.

Are you a licensed excavation and landscaping company?

Yes, West Sydney Landscapes holds a construction landscape licence and a stone mason licence. These licences mean all our excavation, retaining wall and landscaping work is done to NSW standards.

In Lithgow we recently built a sandstone retaining wall where engineering approval was required, and our licences ensured the project was compliant. Having the right licences gives our clients peace of mind that their project is in safe hands, from excavation through to finished landscaping.

What areas does West Sydney Landscapes serve?

We cover a wide residential and rural service area across New South Wales including Western Sydney, Hawkesbury, the Blue Mountains, Lithgow, Camden, Bilpin, Wisemans Ferry, Dural, Kenthurst, Blacktown, Penrith and surrounding areas.
