Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation

What exactly is "excavation"?

Excavation is the process of moving earth, rock, or other materials with heavy equipment. Basically, it means digging. It’s the first step for many construction projects, from building a house to fixing a water line.

Why do I need to hire a professional excavator?

Excavation requires expensive, powerful machinery that is dangerous without proper training. A professional knows how to dig to precise depths, grade the land for proper drainage, and most importantly, how to do the job safely without damaging underground utility lines or creating a safety hazard.

What do I need to do before you can start digging on my property?

The most important step is to have all underground utilities marked. You can do this by calling 811 (the “Call Before You Dig” number) a few days before we are scheduled to start. This is a free service, and it’s the law. It protects you and our team from accidentally hitting a water, gas, or power line.

What happens to all the dirt you dig up?

You have options. The dirt we excavate can often be used somewhere else on your property to fill in a low spot (this is called “cut and fill”). If you don’t need it, we can load all of the excess dirt into our dump trucks and haul it away for you.

Can you work in tight spaces, like my backyard?

Yes. We have different sizes of equipment. While some jobs require a large excavator, we also have smaller machines that can fit into backyards and other tight areas for projects like a small addition, a pool, or a utility line repair.
