Excavator Wet Hire with Operator
Blue Mountains, Penrith & Central West
Excavator Hire with an Experienced Operator
Wet hire means you hire the machine and the operator together. Laser Landscapes & Excavation supplies 1.7, 5 and 13 tonne excavators with one of our own experienced operators, so the work is done properly and you do not have to run the machine yourself.
We wet hire to builders, landscapers, councils and homeowners across the Blue Mountains, Penrith and the Nepean, and the Central West. Our operators are used to sloping blocks, rocky ground and tight access, which is where an experienced hand on the controls saves time and avoids damage.
Every job runs under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified management systems.

Andrew and the team at Laser Landscapes were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. They contacted me almost immediately after I lodged an online enquiry and were able to manage my complicated land movement issue all the way to completion. Throughout the process, Andrew was honest, reliable, professional and kept me up to date. The whole project was managed remotely. The quality was outstanding and the finished result exceeded my expectations. I would happily recommend Laser Landscapes for any landscaping project. Thanks again to Andrew and the team from a brilliant job.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend Laser Landscaping. Andrew was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He listened carefully to all my requests and made thoughtful, helpful suggestions that worked beautifully with the natural environment. The whole team were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. They did a great job and, importantly, cleaned and tidied everything up after themselves. As the job progressed, they were very accommodating when I requested changes and adapted their work to implement them exactly as I wanted. A special mention to Milly, who was particularly helpful and made the whole process so easy. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I’m extremely happy with the result and would definitely recommend Laser Landscaping to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and thoughtful landscaping teamPosted on Google![]()

I really enjoyed working with Andrew and the team to build a new retaining wall and drainage. Everything was easy from the quote, organising dates and building. The job was complete in 3.5 days! All my questions were answered promptly and I never felt like a bother. I highly recommend Laser landscapes and Excavation for your next project. It can be hard to make decisions around jobs that need doing at home, especially in this economic climate, but I had such peace of mind having the job done and felt well cared for throughout the process. Thankyou!Posted on Google![]()

Andrew from Laser Landscapes did an outstanding job on our project. We had a difficult sloped area at the front of our house in Blaxland that needed excavation, retaining walls, and an extension of our carport slab to allow for a shed. Genuinely, I didn’t even think it would be possible to transform the space the way we wanted but Andrew absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had a few other landscapers look at the job, and I’m very glad we went with Andrew. He was a cut above the rest in both his approach and his confidence in delivering the outcome. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and clearly knew what he was doing. The site wasn’t straightforward, but everything was handled smoothly including excavation, drainage, retaining walls, and the new slab. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. The retaining walls look great and feel solid, and the finished slab has completely transformed the usability of the space. What was previously an awkward, unusable area is now clean, functional, and looks like it’s always been part of the house. Communication was easy throughout the job, and everything was delivered as promised. Would highly recommend Andrew and Laser Landscapes to anyone needing landscaping, retaining walls, or concrete work.Posted on Google![]()

I had Andrew and his team come and do some landscaping at my home. From the start they were punctual, professional and extremely helpful. This continued through the entire job. They were always on time, did what they said and the team were extremely friendly. If you are looking for a good team to come and do some landscaping, look no further.
Wet Hire or Dry Hire?
With dry hire, you hire the machine only and operate it yourself. With wet hire, the machine comes with an operator who does the work for you.
Dry hire can suit someone with operating experience on an open, easy site. On sloping, rocky or tight sites, or close to houses, services and boundaries, wet hire is usually the safer choice and often the quicker one. Here is what you get with wet hire from our team:

An Operator Who Knows the Machine
Our operators run our machines every day and know what each excavator can do on a slope, near a boundary or close to a house.

Levels and Drainage Done Right
Getting levels and falls right at the excavation stage helps prevent water problems later under slabs, paths and retaining walls.

Trenches Dug to Line and Depth
Service and drainage trenches are dug to the right line and depth, so the next trade can get on with the job.

The Right Machine for the Site
From the 1.7 tonne excavator for tight access to the 13 tonne for larger cuts, we bring the machine that suits your site.

Ready for Rock
Blue Mountains and Central West sites often hit rock. With a rock hammer on hand, the dig can keep moving when the ground gets hard.

No Machine to Manage
You do not need to run the machine or carry the risk of operating it yourself. Our operator does the work while you get on with yours.
