Reslhauns dug out our driveway and all around the house. Everything was super straightforward and done quickly. He was really competent and worked fast while being clean and careful at the same time.

When we spontaneously had a few extra wishes, that was no problem – totally flexible! The price was fair too, and he left the site tidy.

We can only recommend him and will definitely call again when we need something!

With his work, Reslhauns played a major part in making many of our dreams come true in our garden – earthworks for everything from the pool and the trampoline to the garden shed and sauna. And he was not only great at his job, but also a real asset as a person.

He was always in a good mood, with a smile on his face, kept checking whether everything was all right and had the whole project in view at all times. What impressed us most was that he kept taking care of everything and thinking ahead even when his own work was practically finished.

A very special highlight for our digger-mad son: Reslhauns included him with so much patience, humour and warmth that our little ray of sunshine had a wonderful time every time he watched Hannes. In the end he always picked clothes to wear that matched the dark blue of Hannes’s outfit and most of his machines.

It is these little gestures that make a person and their work truly special.

Dear Hannes, we are incredibly grateful for your great work, your reliability and above all for the joy you brought to our garden project.

We would hire Reslhauns again at any time and can recommend him wholeheartedly!

FAQ

Any questions before we get started?

Answers to the questions home builders ask us most often.

Your question is not answered here?

Give us a call – the owner is happy to answer it directly on the phone.

Call us
What does an hour of excavator work with operator cost?

We don’t work with hourly rates but with complete packages. That way, reliability, keeping to schedule and the complete execution by me as your direct contact are already included.

What does a basement excavation cost?

That naturally depends on the size and the effort involved. As an example, for a 50 m² basement including disposal of the excavated material, you can expect a price of between €9,000 and €15,000.

What do the earthworks for a pool cost?

Depending on the size of the pool, the earthworks without disposal cost around €3,000 to €5,000. The costs depend on the size and the effort involved.

What does it cost to topsoil a 400 m² garden?

For a beautiful lawn, the most important thing is the soil beneath the turf. We recommend at least 20 cm of fine topsoil, ideally mixed with 0/1 sand. We work every garden with a topsoil screening bucket and guarantee fine topsoil – prices start at €20 per tonne. Material and machine costs vary depending on the effort and come to around €3,500 to €5,000.

How much does it cost to bring the machines to the site?

Depending on the number of machines and the distance, €150 to €350.
