Many construction and improvement projects begin with excavation, usually requiring the expertise of a specialized contractor. Experienced excavation professionals have the right equipment to handle the project, the skills to identify problems before they arise, and the experience to dig safely. Below are a few projects that call for an excavator.

3 Projects an Excavation Contractor Can Handle

1. Site Preparation

Before construction can begin on a new house, an excavation contractor will have to prepare the site. After working with the permit office and utility companies to identify any underground wires or water lines, they’ll get to work leveling the site, clearing our bushes and trees, and even demolishing existing structures. Once the site is clear, they’ll bring in their excavation equipment and start digging. In addition to creating space for the foundation, they might also dig trenches for power lines and water pipes.

2. Pool Installations

Many homeowners dream of owning a swimming pool, which means digging a large hole to exact specifications. Excavation contractors can usually get the site prepared in a matter of days, so your pool professional can start pouring concrete and installing equipment. Your excavator can also help build fish ponds or other water features for your yard.

3. Smaller Projects

In addition to large-scale digging, excavation contractors can also handle a variety of smaller projects. For instance, you’ll likely need an excavator if you are installing a septic tank, replacing a sewer line, or building new roads or driveways. They can also help identify and fix drainage issues on your property, preventing erosion and damage to building foundations.
