Bayswater, VIC

Carting spoil from a townhouse build in Boronia, digging footings for unit developments in Wantirna South and laying hardstand in the Rowville employment precinct give the east a steady run of work, from tight rear-lot access to wide open sites, with sloping foothill blocks adding to the mix. Equipment hire Bayswater usually means dumpers, excavators, loaders and rollers, and you can search each type on Quotor.

Sift through the listings below for the digs, hauls and yard jobs on your list, and send a few enquiries so one option is always in reserve. Check rear-lot and slope access early, and send your dates ahead of time, since a wet week on a foothill block can stop work and the trades behind you end up waiting. Narrow streets in the foothills limit where a float can park, so mention that too.
