Align Excavation Group · Melbourne

Worried you'll hand your home to another cowboy and end up with a yard that looks cheap and dies in six months?

The wrong bloke ignores your slope, your light and your drainage, plants whatever's cheap, skips the soil prep, and leaves you brown and patchy by summer. We do it properly the first time.

What We Do

We don't just plant gardens and pour walls. We shape land that settles into a home like it always belonged there.

A garden is not a list of plants and pavers. It is light falling across a slope, the way water moves after rain, the trees that were here long before us. We read all of it first. We work with the bones of your block instead of bulldozing them flat, so the finished yard feels grown, not installed.

Your property deserves a wall that holds for generations

A retaining wall is the spine of a luxury garden. Done wrong it bulges, cracks and shames the home above it. Done right it disappears into the landscape and never moves again. We build the best retaining walls in Victoria, set on proper drainage and footings, tailored to your block, so the line holds straight for decades, not a couple of summers.

The kind of yard people stop and stare at

When it is finished, the house and the garden look like one thing. Planting matched to your climate and the style of your home. Lawn that stays green. Stone and walls that sit like they grew out of the ground. Guests arrive and assume it was always this way. That settled, belonged feeling is the whole point of the work.

How We Work

We work with your block, not against it.

Cowboys ignore your light, slope and drainage, plant whatever's cheap and leave you patchy by winter. We read the land first, build it properly, and finish it so it belongs.

STEP 01

Read The Land

Before a single thing moves we study your light, slope, drainage and the trees already there. We listen to how you actually live in the space, then plan around it.

STEP 02

Build It To Last

Proper soil prep, correct footings and drainage on every wall, the right plants for your climate, and irrigation thought through. Done once, done right, no shortcuts you'll pay for later.

STEP 03

Looks Like It Always Belonged

The finish settles into the home like the house grew into the garden. Green lawn, straight walls, planting that matches the place. Natural, settled, the yard people stop and stare at.

Common Questions

The questions every careful homeowner asks first

How do I know you're not just another cowboy contractor?

Fair question, you've probably heard the horror stories. Mitch quotes the job himself, you get a fixed price in writing, and we show you finished work and video from real clients before you commit. No vanishing acts, no surprise extras.

My last garden went brown and patchy. How is yours different?

Brown and patchy is what happens when someone plants whatever's cheap and skips the soil prep and irrigation. We match planting to your climate and aspect, prep the soil properly, and plan watering from the start. It stays green, not just for the first month.

Why do your retaining walls cost more than the cheap quote?

The cheap quote skips proper footings and drainage, which is exactly why those walls bulge and crack within a couple of years. Ours are built on real foundations with water managed behind them. You pay once and never redo it. That's where the value sits.

Will the new landscaping actually match my home?

That's the whole point. A premium garden that fights the style of the house looks worse than no garden at all. We tailor every design to the home, the existing trees and the way the light falls, so it looks like the house and yard grew together.

About Us

Hey, I'm Mitch, and I run Align Excavation Group.

I started this because I was sick of seeing good homes wrecked by blokes who didn't care. Cheap plants, no soil prep, walls thrown up on bare dirt that bulge within a year. High-end homeowners deserve far better than that.

We service Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, South Eastern Suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. Every job is tailored to the property and the people living in it. We build the best retaining walls in Victoria and back it with finished work you can come and see.

When you call, you get me, not a salesman. I'll come have a proper look, listen to what you actually want, and tell you straight what it'll take to get there.
