Luke and his team did some home reno's for us in Gladstone and again in Brisbane. He is a super hands on owner who is very knowledgeable and super helpful. Could not recommend Freshwater Excavations enough to anyone looking to do home renovations.

I recently had my backyard leveled by Luke at Freshwater Exacavations. The work he did was fast, clean and done within our budget. They are a wonderful company to deal with friendly, punctual and with honest and competitive rates. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for works done on the Northern Beaches.

We had our backyard excavated, very difficult access. Luke did a wonderful job and was great to communicate with through the whole process. Highly recommended
