Handy tips

Rock, landscape and hydro excavation all have their benefits. Which do you need?

There are a variety of processes, techniques and machinery types to move soil, rock, earth and other material to ensure the area is prepared and ready for construction. The types of excavation employed by these excavating services is dependant on the purpose, the material being moved and the requirements of the building area. Excavation can be categorised into the following:

Topsoil excavation – this concerns the removal of the topmost surface area of the Earth's soil. Through this method vegetation and other organic matter which could compromise the lands ability to support structural loads is removed.

Rock excavation – this excavation type clears rocky surfaces than can obstruct the building process. This type is often the most costly and challenging.

Muck excavation – here the combination of soil and water (known as muck) needs to be removed before building can occur.

Earth excavation – building foundations for future construction and drainage systems often require layers of earth (the layers below the topsoil) to be removed.

Basement excavation – the application of excavation techniques to create a basement (defined as that which is below the ground level of a building).

Explaining your project to excavation services and earthmoving contractors will help you make informed decisions. Keep gathering quotes and searching for excavation companies near you.
