Frequently Asked Questions About S M & A J Gilbert Earthmoving
Absolutely. Steve and Thomas have tackled challenging properties including very steep driveways in Killawarra that were in extremely poor condition. They've turned difficult terrain into well-graded, gravel-surfaced driveways with proper drainage pipes for heavy rain and water runoff. Locals tell us their experience with rural topography is a major asset, and driveways they've built are still performing flawlessly years later despite the Mid North Coast weather.
Steve and Tom work incredibly efficiently — they bring multiple machines to site and use every minute of daylight.

Property owners in the Manning Valley regularly mention how much work they achieve in only a couple of days, and they arrive on time every job. Their work ethic means projects move fast without sacrificing quality.
Yes, dam construction is one of their core skills. Steve and his crew built a new dam for a property that filled to capacity after good rain with zero leaks — locals confirm the quality held up perfectly. They handle everything from building dams from scratch to cleaning and repairs. Their attention to detail and knowledge of soil conditions in the Great Lakes and Gloucester areas means they construct dams that perform reliably long-term.
They do. After the floods, Steve prepared house sites and repaired flood-damaged driveways across the Manning Valley, and property owners report being extremely pleased with the care taken and advice given. They also handle entrance and driveway repairs, problem-solving issues like drainage and erosion. Thomas and Steve provide great communication throughout and leave sites cleaner than they found them, which is particularly valued after flood damage.
