Sam did an absolutely beautiful job replacing an old, falling apart , retaining wall at my parents house in Doncaster. I researched and had numerous contractors come out and provide me with quotes. The process was stressful, knowing that choosing the wrong contractor can be a costly mistake. Sam’s quote was more than reasonable for the works, but also his friendly disposition and patience to explain everything in detail in our first meeting was what won us over. Throughout the process Sam was reliable, efficient, responsive, and really respectful of my parents home and their wishes. His knowledge, work ethic and workmanship is second to none. The wall looks gorgeous and I’m sure will be there for many generations to come. Great guy, great process, great job. Highly recommend.
The service Sam provided was above and beyond. There were no delays in commencing the work required and everything was done to specification. Sam provided some recommendations which were very helpful to ensure the longevity of retaining wall that was built. I highly recommend Sam’s services.
Orb excavations were amazing at our school. They removed a sloping rock wall and replaced it with a concrete sleeper wal to make more space for our students. They worked over the christmas holidays in order to have less impact when school was open, disposed of an old playground and asphalted where necessary. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and he was really great to deal with.
Working with Sam to landscape my front yard was a positive experience. The job involved excavating to make the area level, building retaining walls, concreting the drive and path to the back gate, installing a garden shed and planting. During this process, Sam provided helpful advice and suggestions and he and Bobby always went the extra mile. After the job was completed , they cleaned up very well. I am very pleased with the end result and would happily recommend Orb Excavations and Landscaping to others.
My new house requires quite a bit of retaining wall work on the side of house, going to the back yard and along the driveway. Orb Excavations have been excellent during this process. They have dealt extremely professionally with extensive delays for site access, design changes and other dramas that occur in the real world of a building site. They have offered sound advice on design and engineering requirements. We are really pleased with the retaining walls thus far and will be employing Orb for more works as the build progresses.
No hesitation in highly recommending Orb Excavations, they did a great job on my retaining wall and Colourbond fence installation.
Sam and his crew has done an amazing job with my backyard!!
Sam was fantastic from start to finish. He demolished a brick fence for me and dug post holes for new fence. Complete in a day. Communication, reliability etc was top class from the beginning. Highly recommend.
Outstanding quality and workmanship by Orb Excavations. Honest, professional and thorough from start to finish. Book him in now!
We moved to the area last year and weren’t sure where to go for landscaping. Our project required removing a significant amount of soil and concrete, levelling the ground, and building retaining walls to enclose a large flat lawned area. We relied heavily on google reviews for Orb Excavations and thankfully we weren’t disappointed!

Sam and his team worked hard, communicated with us at every stage and produced a garden that maximises space. Sam recommended we continue retaining walls down the side of the house to create more storage space, and he was right. We now have room for a shed! The whole team delivered high quality finishes without any fuss, and were sure to clean up at the end of each day. If you’re worried about partnering with a landscaper, then Orb Excavations is a solid choice.
