About Us

ETC Group is a fully licenced, insured, and proudly family-owned business providing the best excavating and earthmoving services Geelong has to offer. Our company was established in 2013 and founded by James Smalley who has over 20 years in the construction, landscaping, and drainage industries. James has worked tirelessly throughout the years to build and maintain strong relationships with clients and forge a solid reputation for providing high-quality workmanship.

We specialise in small-scale earthworks, trenching, and landscaping solutions. Subcontracting to builders, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, handymen and residents alike, we can provide services from 1.5-tonne excavator hire with skilled operators, skilled labour hire, or can accommodate full end-to-end small-scale projects at very competitive prices.
