We purchased an 1880’s cottage on just over an acre in Hahndorf, South Australia. The property was unloved and overgrown with trees and what garden had been there was lost as the property had been used as a weekender for the last 10 years.
We decided to restore the cottage and add a large extensions. After cutting down half of the trees, Murray and Sean removed stumps, fences, transplanted trees and contoured the complete block then prepared the house and shed slabs.
With Murray and Sean’s skills we built a large pond 30 metres x 7 metres and reclaimed what was a swamp into a beautiful garden dam. Murray removed and old 8m x 8m asbestos studio and built a moss rock rose garden on the site.
During the large project, we found Murray and Sean were ideal to work with and no job was a problem. I recommend Harding & Son Earthworks to anyone and they are welcome to see the results.

We have engaged the services of Harding Earthworks many times over the years for jobs at our property, for driveway grading, paddock slashing, rainwater tanks site prep, small demolition and yard clearing, ag drainage trenching, dry stone walling and most recently for a large landscaping project in our garden.
In preparation for a swimming pool installation, we hired Harding Earthworks to terrace 2 levels into the side of a hill to make space for the pool and surrounding relaxation area. Murray and Sean finished the area off with dry stone walling at one terrace level and natural battered back earth wall at the next level, plus they graded the site and smoothed soil to be ready for lawn seeding.
This was a major project and was carried out with expertise and a lot of thought and care went into the work. We are very happy with our finished entertaining area and we recommend Harding Earthworks to anyone requiring this kind of work.

Over a period of more than 20 years, Murray Harding has completed a range of earthmoving and dry stone wall building on my property. He has always been reliable, professional and completed jobs to a very high standard. I have recommended his services to many friends and work colleagues because I have absolute faith that they will be very pleased with his services.

We wanted our featureless house frontage landscaped into something unique and attractive. Murray Harding created a terraced garden for us using local stone that transformed our front yard into something with character and appeal that has stood the test of time. Murray was a pleasure to work with and his skill with a bobcat and stone is a joy to watch. I would highly recommend Harding & Son Earthworks to anyone needing general bobcat excavation or dry stone work.
