A bobcat (skid steer loader) is the go-to machine for small earthmoving jobs around the house or block. Send your job details and we'll pass them to local operators in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
What a bobcat is good for
- Site and backyard clean-ups
- Levelling and spreading fill, sand, gravel or topsoil
- Landscaping preparation before turf, paving or retaining
- Boxing out driveways and shed pads
- Moving material around a site, loading trucks or skips
- With attachments (where operators offer them): augers for post holes, trenchers, sweepers, rock breakers
Wet hire bobcat (with operator)
Most homeowners choose wet hire: an operator brings the machine, does the work and takes it away. Operators commonly charge by the hour, often with a minimum booking and a float/travel fee — but rates vary, so ask each operator for a written quote.
Helpful details to include
- Suburb and access (gate width, slopes, overhead wires, trees)
- Rough size of the area and what needs moving
- Whether material needs to be removed or delivered (tipper truck)
- Preferred dates and how flexible you are
Before any digging
Lodge a free Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) enquiry to locate underground services before excavation. Your operator can advise on this.
