House pads in Kingaroy prepared to accurate levels, compacted properly and handed over ready for the slab. Suburban blocks, sloping sites and rural builds.
A Kingaroy pad that comes back rough does not stay a pad problem for long. The concreter cannot pour, the frame cannot go up and every trade in the sequence loses a day. Getting the levels right the first time is the entire job.
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.
Pads around Kingaroy sit on very different country from one block to the next. Cut and fill, batters, compaction and drainage all get set for the ground in front of us rather than a standard approach applied everywhere, which is what keeps a pad sitting level years later.
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.
Nobody ever sees a finished pad again. It goes under a slab and stays there. That is exactly why there are no corners cut in it on any Kingaroy job, and why every operator who joins the crew is trained the JBA way before they are left to set one on their own.
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.
You get a booked date and a start time so the pour, the frame and the Kingaroy trades behind them can be locked in around it. If anything shifts on our end you hear the night before. We run Monday to Friday, 6:00am to 6:00pm.
Rock, unexpected fill or wet ground can change what a pad in Kingaroy takes. If we hit it, work stops and you get a phone call with the options and the cost impact before anything extra goes ahead. Free quote, no obligation.
It depends on the size, the amount of cut and fill and the ground conditions, and you get the timeframe in the quote rather than a guess on the day. Weather can move it, and if it does you hear the night before so your other trades are not left standing on a Kingaroy site.
The pad location pegged or a clear set of plans, access the machines can get through, and services located before we dig. If you have a soil report or an engineer’s specification, send it with the quote request. Anything unclear gets sorted before the booked date, not on the morning of.
Yes. Send the specification through with your quote request and the pad gets built to it. If anything in the detail is unclear it gets raised before the booked date rather than worked around on the day, because a Kingaroy pad that does not match the spec is a rework problem for everyone behind us.
It is stockpiled where you want it or carted off, whichever you agree at quote stage, and the cartage sits in the same quote rather than arriving as a second bill. The Kingaroy site gets cleaned up at the end of every day.
Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way. The pad, the trenching, the driveway and the final clean-up on one booking means one mobilisation to your Kingaroy block instead of paying to bring machines back three separate times.
Regularly. A slope changes the cut and fill balance, the batters and where water has to go, and all three get worked out at quote stage. Plenty of Kingaroy blocks are not flat, so this is normal work rather than a complication.
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.
