Firebreaks cut across Kingaroy and the South Burnett for graziers, rural property owners and building sites. A booked date and a crew that turns up to it, so the break is in the ground while there is still time.
Firebreaks are the one Kingaroy job where a delayed booking has a cost you cannot quote for. Operators get busy as the season closes in, which is exactly when the phone stops being answered. Ring early and you get a straight answer on what date we can commit to.
Working out what your block needs? The guide covers what JBA does across Kingaroy and the South Burnett, and what location, machinery, ground conditions and access do to a number.
The scale runs from a single break around rural infrastructure near Kingaroy to perimeter work across a grazing block. The machinery and the crew scale with it, and the width and line get set for the country you have rather than a default applied everywhere.
This man is an absolute legend, and I can’t speak highly enough. We had a half done job for months, and situations got out of hand, and we were desperate for help! I explained our situation to James and he went above and beyond for us. What was meant to take over a month to complete a job from our prior landscaper started. James legit came in and finished in under an hour. He’s a beautiful soul, family orientated, and the best price you’ll find for the quality he does honestly. There is no job too big or small for him. I am absolutely so thankful to him for fitting us in when he did, fixing our home up and the understanding and kindness we received from him. Absolute top bloke! Thank you so much James from my family to yours we are ecstatic to have this done.
Absolutely the best earth moving company. James, Amy and Shannon were so professional and good at their work. They all went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend, reasonably priced.
Fast, friendly, great service and a fair price for the great service provided. Would recommend to anyone in need of any earth work.
Absolutely amazing work. James is very friendly, easy to get along with and very professional with great advice. I’ve had 2 people in to work on my yard previously that have left me feeling like nobody could get the job done or it was going to take years. James showed up with a smile on his face and ready to get it done. In 20 minutes he had done more than the previous workers had in several months. My yard and driveway is all levelled out and a drainage channel is made to stop my home from flooding and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend him as he is a highly efficient worker, has all the knowledge and machines needed and will get the job done at a good price without stuffing you around and taking years to do it like others. Thank you again for your work and it done with a smile. I shall see you again for the next job.
We recently hired JBA Earthworks to complete extensive drainage and driveway works on our rural property, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first consultation to the final clean-up, the team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. They tackled some complex drainage issues with skill, providing effective long-term solutions that have already made a noticeable difference. The new driveway is exceptionally well-constructed, with excellent attention to detail and quality materials. Communication throughout the project was clear and consistent, and the team always took the time to explain their process and answer our questions. They respected the property, worked efficiently, and left the site tidy each day. Highly recommend JBA Earthworks to anyone needing reliable and high-quality groundwork, especially in rural or challenging environments. Great work!
Thanks James, for a job well done on our subdivision. Getting the 3 culvert driveways done and an 80 metre compact gravel driveway completed within the days we discussed and at the rate advised, much appreciated. Looking forward to the next job we have planned.
JBA Earthworks is a highly professional and dependable company. It offers excellent service and value for money. I have no hesitation in highly recommending James and his team for anyone’s earthworks needs.
James and his team turned up on time and in full. They completed the work that we asked and were clean and tidy with the work they done! We are really happy with the outcome!
James turned a section of grassland into two level sites ready for the installation of a 3-bay garage and two 5000 gallon tanks. He also included a surround sloping wall with drainage channels to take away rainwater from the surrounding hill so it will not enter the garage area. Before leaving he double checked the new earth works was compacted and level. For the time spent onsite James was very gentle with his pricing. Great job and would happily recommend him for further work.
JBA is locally owned, based in Kingaroy and run by operators still on the tools. The same business sponsors the football clubs that hold South Burnett towns together. Rural work is not a sideline here, it is most of the country we work in.
When we book your job, we make it a priority. If circumstances outside our control affect the schedule, you hear from us as early as possible.
Neat, accurate levels, ready for the next trade to start straight away, and the site cleaned up at the end of every single day.
James has more than 15 years in the industry, his father more than 30, and our senior operator around 40. Every crew member is trained the JBA way.
A free, no-obligation quote that lays out what location, machinery and ground conditions do to the price, before work starts.
Equipment and experience to handle residential trenching and tree removal through to bulk excavation and large civil works.
Water and sewer trenches for Spotlight and Repco in Kingaroy, driveway reconstruction for the Nanango Pet Motel, and retaining walls for the Kingaroy Red Ants.
We travel roughly ninety minutes from Kingaroy, which covers the South Burnett towns as well as Gympie, Dalby and Jandowae. Travel is a line in the quote you can see rather than a reason a booking quietly does not happen.
The length of the break, the width required, the access and the ground conditions. All four are named in the free, no obligation quote before any machine leaves the Kingaroy yard, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Earlier than feels necessary. Bookings compress as the season approaches and the properties that get done on time are generally the ones that rang months out. Call 0408 006 093 and you will get a straight answer on the next date available.
That depends on your country, your neighbours and what your local requirements are, and it is worth confirming those before the machine arrives. Tell us what width you need and where the line runs, and we will cut to it.
Yes. Building sites in bushland and rural infrastructure both need breaks, and the work often runs alongside land clearing or access work on the same booking rather than as a separate trip.
Yes, and on rural blocks it is the sensible way to book it. Breaks, clearing, tree removal and access work quoted together means one trip out from Kingaroy rather than paying to bring machines back through the season.
Roughly ninety minutes from Kingaroy, which reaches the South Burnett towns as well as Gympie, Dalby and Jandowae. Properties further out are worth ringing about early, because distance is the first thing that makes a late booking hard to fit.
You hear about it the night before, not after you have waited all morning. Being based in Kingaroy means we read the local conditions reasonably well, and a pushed date gets rebooked rather than left hanging.
From the first call to final completion, we manage every stage with speed and precision. You will not waste time chasing contractors or waiting on equipment. We mobilise fast and keep your program on track.

Thanks for the great service to get the job completed. A++ for good communication too. Will definitely use this service again.
