While you might recognize those big trucks or other heavy machinery perched atop the gravel of a building site, you probably are not sure exactly what excavation contractors do. C & W Trucking in Bayfield, WI, has been helping residents and businesses for 40 years find solutions to their construction needs, including excavation and demolition contracting.

Understand how C & W Trucking works and the services they provide by reviewing the responsibilities of an excavation contractor:

• Site Prep: One of the most common reasons to hire an excavation contractor is to prepare a site for building. After a site has been surveyed, an excavating team ensures that the building site is prepared to the surveyor's exact specifications. This often includes removing soil, compacting earth for a foundation, measuring the proper grading for the site, and more.

• Transporting Dirt: If you want to move any large amount of dirt, you'll need to employ the services of a licensed excavation contractor. Many building sites will need roads made or ditches and sewer lines

  dug—work that only an experienced land clearing and excavation team can execute.

• Heavy Equipment: Many builders or construction contractors can't afford to purchase their own heavy equipment, which is why equipment rental is also an important facet of an excavation contractor's business. If you're looking to rent dump trucks or other hauling machinery, C & W Trucking has a wide inventory of heavy equipment available.
