Site Cuts by Just Walls in Geelong

Site Cuts Geelong

A good build starts with a good site cut. Just Walls carries out precise site cuts across Geelong, levelling blocks and benching slopes so your slab, driveway or landscaping goes down on properly prepared ground. We work to the levels on your plans and leave the site clean, compacted and ready for the next trade.

Sloping Blocks Are Our Specialty

Because we build retaining walls every week, we approach site cuts differently to a general earthmover. On sloping blocks in areas like Highton, Wandana Heights, Torquay and Ocean Grove, the cut and the retaining design need to work together — batters, wall footings and drainage all planned as one job. We can cut the site and build the walls that hold it, which means one contractor and no gaps in responsibility.

Accurate, Clean and On Time

We cut to your surveyed levels and engineering requirements, keep tolerances tight for slab preparation, and coordinate with your builder so the site is ready when the concreter arrives. Cuts that create a retained edge over one metre generally need a building permit — we can walk you through what applies to your block.

Site Cuts FAQs

What exactly is a site cut? +

A site cut is the excavation that levels a block before construction — cutting into the high side, and often filling the low side, so the slab or foundation sits on even, stable ground.

Can you do a site cut on a steep block? +

Yes — steep blocks are our bread and butter. We bench the site in stages and can design and build the retaining walls needed to hold each level, all as one job.

What happens to the excavated soil? +

Whatever suits your job: we can cart spoil away, use it as engineered fill on the low side of the block, or stockpile it for later landscaping.

Do I need a permit for a site cut? +

The cut itself usually falls under your building permit, but retained cuts over one metre high normally require engineering and a permit. We can advise on what your site needs before work starts.
