Landscaping in Hawkesbury
What we build around here.
Most failed Hawkesbury backyard jobs we get called to fix have the same story: a different person did the excavation, the wall, the drainage, the levelling, and the landscaping. Each blamed the next. Wall didn't drain because the excavator didn't grade. Excavator didn't grade because the landscaper changed the design.
Owner-operated earthworks across the Hawkesbury, Blue Mountains, and Penrith. ABN-registered. $20M public liability insured.

Questions Hawkesbury owners ask
Straight answers.
How much does a complete backyard transformation cost in the Hawkesbury?
The earthworks portion typically ranges from $15,000 for a small terraced wall + clearing job up to $80,000+ for a full transformation with retaining walls, pool dig, drainage, and complete levelling. Quotes are fixed-price after a free site visit.
Does Madden Earthworks design the backyard?
We're earthworks specialists, not landscape designers. We execute the earthworks portion of your plan or your designer's plan. We can recommend local landscape designers.
Can you work alongside a pool company?
Yes — many of our backyard jobs include the pool excavation. We can either dig for an installer you've already chosen or recommend pool companies we've worked with locally.
How long does a backyard transformation take?
Typically 1-3 weeks for the earthworks portion, depending on scale. Smaller terraced wall + clearing jobs in 3-5 days. Major projects with multiple walls, drainage, and pool dig can run 2-3 weeks.
