Earthmoving & Retaining Wall Specialists in the Dandenong Ranges

FARO HACE

We had a sizeable front yard that had been overdue for an overhaul for years. Our vision was a complete transformation—from a basic, run-down lawn with scattered plants into a modern landscape that complements the industrial style of our home.
We were fortunate to be introduced to Chris and his team, who truly brought our vision to life. What was once an unsightly space has now become a striking feature in the neighbourhood—a real head-turner and an absolute delight to look at.
Chris and his team were highly professional throughout the entire process, flexible when adjustments were needed, and full of thoughtful ideas that enhanced our original concept. Working with them has genuinely been one of the best experiences we’ve had with tradespeople over the years.
If you’re considering a similar project, I highly recommend having a conversation with Chris and taking a look at our unique landscaping photos through him.

STEVEN BOYD

We did a major landscape renovation on a steep slope with tight access (3.0m width) .Chris and Jesse are great workers in tandem. FEC were sustainably reliable over the duration of the project, had the knowledge and experience to get the job done neatly and efficiently while working with us. Great communicators too, don't hesitate to get them on board with any earthmoving requirements!

TANIA LIM

Chris and Jesse have completed several projects on our property now, and we honestly could not be happier with the job they've done. From land clearing to cutting and filling, plumbing to hauling over a hundred meters of rock retaining walls, the level of professionalism demonstrated at all times was outstanding, and the standard and quality of the work impeccable. We have already recommended them to our neighbours and families and will be calling them back to finish off some other projects at a later stage. Thank you FE&C! Five stars and then some!

KATHRYN DEWART

We hired Chris for a replacement retaining wall and couldn’t be happier with the result. He communicated all throughout the job with explaining clearly all options and why certain steps were necessary. Chris and his team are so professional and friendly as well. Highly recommend their work!

We again enlisted Chris to install a gate at a reasonable cost for us. He suggested a decorative farm gate which came up better than expected. He is now our go to man for any outside work needed. Even our neighbors have asked for his number. Thanks again Chris

PAUL BROPHY

Chris came around on a weekend to quote adding driveway space to our front yard. Chris provided two options for us with Concrete and crushed rock options. The work Chris completed far exceeded our expectation. Chris’s communication throughout the process was fantastic. Resolving issues as they came up.
I would not hesitate to have him back again or recommend him for anyone wanting earthmoving or construction work.

STEPHEN RYLANDS

Highly recommended the guys. Chris and Jesse did a great job putting in some retaining walls and carport concreting. We had tight access and elevated block but it was no issue for them. Good communication and their attention to detail was spot on.

CHRIS WILKES

We engaged Foster Earthmoving & Construction to put in drainage behind our pool on a sloping backyard, build a retaining wall that went around our filtration area for the pool, remove some large amounts of earth and bring in top soil, and river pebbles to make some garden beds. It sounded good on paper and in discussions with Chris, however we were more than satisfied with the outcome. Of all the trades (close to 20 of them) that built our pool that took 12 months, Chris was the most professional & reliable. At the conclusion of each day Chris would take the time to talk us through with what he did and where he was at, there were zero delays, & we were given options and recommendations along the way. Every day Chris would clean up the mess which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Foster Earthmoving & Construction for your upcoming project, you will not regret it if you are after quality and value for your buck. A++

ROBERT SHARP

Good job handled well by Chris, did everything we asked for and all is well, Highly Recommended

RICHARD HARRIS

Chris was quick to respond and quote and although not the cheapest presented detailed information about work to be done and how he would go about it with good timeline that he met. The job is excellent, exactly what i wanted and the cleanup after impressive. Top of my list the next time i need work done!!..

JESS ROWE

Chris & Jesse from Foster Earthmoving & Construction did a fabulous job on our rock wall/embankment allowing us to widen the top of our driveway. The job came with some challenges that they tackled with no issues and were also great with my indecisiveness and random questions. Highly recommended and will be getting them back for future jobs. Support local!

JUSTINE SHARMAN

Highly recommend Chris and the team. Communication is fantastic and their work is of a high quality. I am very pleased to have found Chris for the work we needed done.

CHELSEY COYTE COOPER

Foster Earthmoving & Construction replaced our retaining walls, built a gorgeous curved stone stairway installed drainage and thoughtfully placed a range of boulders on our steep upper slope as further retaining for the front area by our entrance. They worked hard, very professional, cool headed under pressure and meticulously cleaned up when they left. Real treasures in our opinion!

KATIE HARVEY

We hired Foster Earthmoving & Construction to resurface our driveway and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Very friendly and professional, the work was completed in a timely manner and they were so pleasant to work with regarding any changes needed or needing to access the driveway whilst works were happening. Highly recommend and will definitely be looking at this company again in the future to complete more works on our property.

KRYSTAL BEALE

I would recommend and use Chris again for excavation work. He created a few levels in our very steep backyard exactly how we wanted, and he was professional and friendly!

DANIEL BARNES

Chris did an incredible job at our development site in Bentleigh. Completed site clear and detailed excavation work to all sides of the property assisting on very short notice. Very accommodating and helpful in working through some site constraints. Was professional and prompt in all communication. 10/10 job - would highly recommend!

CODY DEAN

This guy is an absolute legend! Well and truly knowledgeable, rocks up on time at all times, keeps communication to a high standard and makes recommendations. If he thinks there is a more effective and efficient way to do the works, he will not only walk you through the process as to why but will listen to all concerns you have! Done an amazing job, could not be happier and would use again and again! Couldn’t recommend Chris enough, no job is too hard and he is well and truly accomodating to your needs! Outstanding final product and an amazing process to watch
