About Embark
Mt Barker’s Specialist Earthmoving Contractors
Embark Earthworks is a licensed earthworks contractor serving residential properties throughout Mt Barker and the Adelaide Hills region. We specialise in three essential services that new homeowners need most: Yard Levelling, Retaining Wall construction, and Stormwater Drainage solutions.
Getting Your Home Back
From Construction Site to Family Home
Your new home is finished, but your yard is still a construction site. There are ruts, piles of dirt, and uneven ground where you envisioned your kids playing. Your shed is non-existant with its future content pilling up in the garage. You're tracking mud through the house, and you can't even think about having friends over.
This is the reality for most Adelaide Hills homeowners after their build completes. The house is done, but you don't have a home—not really. That's exactly what we fix.
We create level, stable surfaces where your kids can play safely. We prepare the ground so your shed can finally go in. We grade and prepare your yard so landscapers can install the lawn you've been dreaming about. Most importantly, we work quickly and reliably so you can start actually living in your property instead of working around it. We transform your house from a construction site into home.
Our Three Core Services
Yard Levelling.
We transform uneven, post-construction yards into properly graded, landscaping-ready surfaces. Using precision earthmoving equipment, we remove high spots, fill depressions, and establish correct drainage fall away from your home.
Retaining Walls.
From to concrete block retaining walls to timber sleeper systems, we design and build structural solutions that manage slopes, prevent erosion, and create usable outdoor spaces—all with integrated drainage for long-term stability.
Stormwater Drainage.
We protect your home's foundation with properly designed stormwater systems. Our drainage pits, and surface water management prevent flooding, erosion, and the costly damage that poor drainage causes.
Servicing Mt Barker and the surrounding Adelaide Hills—we cover an approximately 25km wide radius.
