About Rural Earthwork Services from Fosters
At Foster’s Earthworks & Contracting, we understand the unique challenges of working on rural properties. Uneven ground, seasonal drainage, and access limitations require more than just machinery — they require skill, local knowledge, and precision.
With over 38 years of hands-on experience across Eungai Creek, Kempsey, and Coffs Harbour, our team delivers reliable, cost-effective rural earthmoving solutions that help farmers, graziers, and landowners get the most out of their land.
Whether it’s excavating a new dam, grading a paddock, repairing a washed-out road, or installing farm drainage, we combine durable equipment with local expertise to get the job done right — first time, every time.
We’re proud to support the Mid North Coast’s rural community with work that improves access, productivity, and property value.
