When you require extensive work on a project, you might find the only way to get it off the ground is to hire an excavation contractor. It’s helpful to know beforehand whether their services are required so that you can get an idea of the extent of work involved. Here are three types of projects that might require professional excavation services.

When Should You Hire an Excavation Contractor?

1. Tree Removal

If your property is packed with trees that might harm neighboring plants or prevent you from installing an addition to your building, you’ll need to hire a commercial professional. Part of this includes excavating the land to improve the health of your landscape. This might also be necessary if you are thinking about installing a fountain or another type of water feature.

2. Foundation Repair

Is your property’s foundation losing its integrity? This is the type of project that requires very precise assistance from an excavation contractor. If part of your building is weak or you plan to add an extension, a land clearing professional will excavate the space so that it can withstand the weight of the replacement foundation or a new room.

3. Dirt Shifting

Sometimes, you need to shift heavy quantities of dirt away from your property to make way for a septic system or another plumbing project. The only way to accomplish this is to hire an excavation contractor who has the tools necessary to safely remove the dirt. Once the ground is excavated, you’ll essentially have a clean slate on which to begin your project.
