Digging around underground assets or established trees demands more than a shovel and a guess. At Root Control – Hydro Excavation, we tackle the tough ground without damaging what lies beneath. From councils to contractors, more crews rely on our expert digging and tree care services across Melbourne.
We don’t cut corners, and we don’t make costly mistakes. Our experienced team understands how to expose underground utilities safely while keeping surrounding roots, cables, and pipes fully intact. Using high-pressure water and vacuum technology, we break up soil with precision and remove it cleanly—no risk, no heavy machinery damage.
When you need safe and efficient access to subsurface areas, you can’t go past our Non Destructive Digging services. We support everything from service locating and trenching to post-hole digging and root mapping. Whether you’re prepping for construction or working around sensitive tree zones, we help you get the job done without delays or drama.
But our work doesn’t stop underground. We also support tree health and protection across residential and commercial projects. Our fully qualified team handles tree root investigations, root pruning, air spading, and expert arborist reports. If you’re working in Melbourne’s northern suburbs and want to avoid damaging local trees, call us first.
Plenty of developers and councils choose our arborist services Coolaroo projects demand because we know the area, understand local tree protection zones, and deliver high-quality reports for planning permits and approvals. We combine our deep understanding of root systems with our advanced excavation equipment to deliver smarter outcomes every time.
We show up on time, work cleanly, and always respect the environment we work in. Our team brings both industry knowledge and a no-nonsense work ethic to every site, whether we’re digging alongside a heritage tree or clearing the way for new infrastructure.
