The crew behind the machines

Bali Earthworks started in 2019 with one second-hand mini excavator and a simple observation: half the earthworks quotes on this island were guesses. We decided to be the crew that measures.

How this crew came to be

The first jobs were small: septic pits in Umalas, a driveway in Canggu, clearing a quarter-are garden. What kept clients calling back wasn’t the digging — anyone with a machine can dig — it was that our numbers matched reality. If we said 14 trucks of soil, it was 14 trucks, not “oh, actually 30”.

Seven years later we run six machines and a full-time crew across Bali — from paddy-clay foundations in Canggu and Seseh to limestone pools in Uluwatu and jungle terracing above Ubud. The observation still holds, so the method hasn’t changed: measure first, quote in writing, let the client verify the levels.

What we run

  • Two mini excavators (PC50/PC75 class) — they pass a 1.8 m gate, which in Canggu and Bingin is the difference between machine work and six weeks of hand digging.
  • Two 20-ton excavators (PC200 class) — mass excavation, pools, basements, big cuts.
  • Hydraulic breaker — the Bukit tool. Limestone from Uluwatu to Pecatu is daily work, not a surprise.
  • Vibro roller and plate compactors — because fill without layered compaction is a future crack in your floor.
  • Trucks on standing contract — disposal and fill logistics we control, with legal dump and borrow sites.

Who does the work

Operators who have run these exact machines for years, a foreman who speaks daily with your architect or builder, and a surveyor who sets grade stakes and shoots levels with a rotating laser before and after. I’m Artem — I run the company, answer the WhatsApp myself, and still walk most sites personally. You’ll deal with a person whose name you know, not a dispatcher.

The three rules we don’t break

  • No verbal quotes. Volumes, machine hours, truck counts, disposal, timeline — one written document before work starts.
  • No hidden rock prices. If limestone is possible, we test-dig free of charge and price it before signing — never mid-project.
  • No disappearing soil. Haul-away goes to agreed sites, documented. Bali has enough soil dumped in rivers.

Prices for everything we do are public — see the 2026 price list, browse finished sites, or read how excavation is priced before talking to any contractor. Then send us your pin: +62 823 2290 3410.
