The complete process includes:
Preparing the land. Before any hole is dug, a professional excavation company will work with other experts such as permit services, utility companies and land surveyors to prepare for the work. Then, the area must be cleared of any obstacles such as trees, logs, boulders, and brush, and the area staked out.
Site excavating, drilling, or digging. The professionals will do grading and smoothing of the soil, demolish any pre-existing structures that are in the way, and then haul away dirt and debris. An expert will make sure that the soil is prepared so that proper drainage takes place, both on the surface and under the ground. Site work is essential so that the area is stabilized for the construction project and the concerns of erosion or damage due to drainage are handled. Our company will ensure that a basement stays dry.
Trenching services. An expert will dig the trenches required for foundation footings, utility lines, sewage and drainage pipes, and water pipes.
Additional work may require cut and fill; moving earth from a high area to fill in a lower area.
