What Our Clients Say

"We had Steve and Tom Gilbert at our property on a number of occasions to undertake earthworks for us and have found their work to be nothing short of fantastic. The Gilberts are extremely knowledgeable and skilled in their chosen profession. Whether it be cuts for a shed pad, reforming a driveway, constructing a house pad or cleaning a dam, the Gilberts are the men to do it. There is only one word to describe everything they have done for us "magic". The attention to detail and thoughtful input into what we were trying to achieve was second to none. I cannot recommend the Gilberts highly enough to anyone wanting the best earthworks contractors in the area. Many thanks Steve and Tom for being truly professional, skilled and all around good blokes."

Rod & Lee Townsend
(Electrical Site Supervisor, MidCoast Council)
"Steve Gilbert has done a number of jobs for me over the years ranging from dam cleanouts, dam wall repairs, new dam construction to bridge recovery and repositioning. I have been very pleased with his work and have benefitted from Steve's experience and constructive advice on a number of jobs. He is very thorough and has a genuine desire to get the best possible outcome for each job. I particularly like the way the work is finished off and left neat and tidy."

Elwyn H. (Bunyah)
"Steve, I would like to thank you for a great job yourself and Thomas did at my place. Your thought process into how to construct and clean out the dams in relation to how the cattle drink and use the dams was great. I saw some of the work you had done at a property near Bunyah and was immediately impressed by the way you constructed a bund wall to contain all the slop. In addition, the way you cleaned the dam out was a really professional job. Thankfully you did the same professional job at my place. You had an array of implements which helped in the construction of the wall from the extension arms to the small pad foot roller. This all helped save time and made the job easy and neat. Thanks again, I will definitely call next time we need dams constructed and cleaned."

Peter D.
"If you can find better in this sort of work than Steve Gilbert and his sons, you're doing well. I have had Steve at my farm on two occasions, during which time he has reconfigured and fixed the driveway, excavated around the shed, (with not much room to move), to improve the landscape for drainage, build a pad for stables, repaired dams, cleared lantana and fence lines and tidied weedy scrub. He's also repaired erosion sites and waterways. His advice is considered and expert. His execution is timely, tidy and very impressive. His manner is courteous."

Andrew H. (Candoormakh Creek Rd, Nabiac)
"To anyone wanting to have some earth moved or dams cleaned; My wife and I have a small farm; 106 acres; small herd of cattle; some very old dams and about 500 metres of drive to the house; all needing attention; Steve Gilbert was referred by a friend who is particularly good at detecting "good contractors". I am glad I took his advice and had Steve and family clean out my 4 dams and repair the drive to the house; Water runoff had left the drive difficult to navigate except to 4 wheel drives; The dams were full of "run off" and far less than their capacity; Best points in working with Steve and sons; • Good advice on how to tackle the problems; • Quality work; 71mm of rain the day following the drive repair and virtually no problems with any wash away; • Understanding and concern about costs; Steve did find the least cost solutions without compromising quality; • Very happy to have anyone inspect his work and answer any questions. PS: We are not related and I do not get any commission for this endorsement;"

Ian and Hedy S. (Dyers Crossing)
"Barrier Signs Pty Ltd needed to clear, excavate and level a factory block ready for foundations and concreting. SM & JA Gilbert Earthmoving were chosen for their professional attitude and confidence in achieving what we needed. They worked efficiently and extremely cost effectively, working with other professionals and communicating with us on a constant basis, offering ideas and solutions. The experience of dealing with them was problem free and unique, with their ability to sort through any issues, exceptional. I would highly recommend them for any project you are considering."

Jeff C. (Managing Director of Barrier Signs, Taree)

"Initially SM & AJ Gilbert Earth Moving were engaged to complete a relatively small project of improving the access to our property. However, the scope of the work increased as we saw how thorough both Steve and Tom Gilbert were in undertaking the work. The work of the upgrade to the access road of over half a kilometre then increased to include the reconstruction of a culvert bridge, and the construction of the house mound to enable a new house to be built above flood level. Inspections of the house mound by geotech consultants indicated that the construction and compaction were well above the requirements of GTCC. We were pleased to know that work done by Gilberts Earth Moving was well above the standards required and that this would give us confidence into the future. We have since engaged Steve and Tom to do more excavation works around our property and we are confident again that the work will be done to the same high level of planning, materials used and standard of work."

"I first came across Steve Gilbert Earthmoving sometime ago when he was cleaning a dam down the road on Cocumbark Lane. As I drove past I noticed how neat his work was, with the cotter dam built in the front of the dam to hold the sludge, and as I needed some dams cleaned out I had decided to go and see him next day. However, next day he had gone to another job. So quick at getting the job completed impressed me. About a month later I saw him again at a nearby property, noted his phone number from the banner he had displayed and booked him to come and clean out/deepen my main dam. (show before picture). On Steve's advice I drained the dam and then he proceeded to clean out the sludge with me on the tractor in the dam using my bucket to push the mud to him, thus saving time and money. The dam was deepened by about 3 metres and it now provides the property with a good body of water with minimal evaporation. (show after pictures) I have since contracted Steve and his son Thomas two more times to clean out and rebuild/fill in dams on the property with excellent results. It is something to see these two working together, one on the dam wall and one in the dam with dancing arms of the excavators working in unison. Doing little things like pushing out a stump or two when tracking between jobs is not a problem. It is the little things that count in this day and age that enables one contractor to stand out from the other and Steve is happy to help out within reason when asked. Steve has excellent equipment for the task, is well organised, quick to complete the task, courteous and his rates are very competitive. I therefore highly recommend him and his team of one to anyone who requires earthmoving infrastructure upgrades on their property."

Rick & Pam P. ('Cocumbark Lea', Krambach)
"After hearing so many good reviews we asked Steve to prepare our house site and repair our flood damaged driveway, and we were extremely pleased with the quality of his work, the care he took on site and the advice he gave us. We have now had him back for further work, preparing a shed site and other earthworks. I cannot recommend Steve & Thomas highly enough, they are truly professionals and the best in the business."

"Absolutely stoked with earthworks Steve and Tom have just completed at my place. Their knowledge, craftsmanship and attention to detail were exceptional. After previously using other contactors in the area and being constantly disappointed, I will only ever use SM & AJ Gilbert Earthmoving from now on. The amount of work they can achieve in only a couple of days was astonishing and their work ethic is second to none. They arrived on time, using every minute of daylight, and will ensure your job is only completed to a standard that they would be happy at their own place. They bring multiple machines to the site and have all the equipment to complete any job. I would 100% recommend S M & A J Gilbert Earthmoving!"

"Steve and Tom recently constructed a water tank pad and associated trenches. Lifted the tanks into position, laid and connected all the intricate pipework and got the whole system operational in 2 days. Offered excellent suggestions. The whole site was left very clean, in some places better than before. It was so good to deal with such professional and pleasant people. I would certainly recommend SM & AJ Gilbert Earthmoving."

Sandra W.
"The quality work of Gilbert Earthmoving has exceeded our expectations. Steve and Tom ‘reconstructed’ our very steep and in extremely poor condition rural driveway. Their wealth of experience was an asset to us given the difficult terrain. The guys are very knowledgeable and their attention to detail is outstanding. It’s rare to come across such a standout team of skilled, professional and reliable operators. Their equipment is second to none and they leave your site very clean. We recommend them to everyone considering earthworks, you will not be disappointed."
