Brad and the team helped replace existing retaining walls along the boundary of our property. They also re graded and levelled our yard and installed new grass. It was quite a complex job with the retaining walls being 2m in some sections but the team handled it expertly. There were a few minor hiccups along the way all of which Brad resolved smoothly and efficiently. The whole yard and landscape has been completely transformed. Well done Cairns Precision

Brad and the team from Cairns Precision Earthworks did an amazing job at my house. The works included the filling of a pool with over 63m2 dirt plus a 100mm slab of concrete over the top. Access was difficult and where other services shied away, Brad and the team took on the challenges in their stride and made it happen. The pricing was extremely reasonable and fair. They worked efficiently, on time and excellent communication throughout. Very much thank and recommend the team.

The Precision team cleared over 300 square metres of garden around our home before levelling and prepping our yard for new turf. Brad was amazing to deal with, accomodating and had great communication. After seeing their work, it was clear why they are called ‘Precision’ Earthworks. Thank you!!
