FAQs About Dirt and Site Work
What is excavation?
Excavation is a general term for digging into the ground and removing soil for a specific purpose. In construction, excavation is used to remove excess dirt from the construction site, as well as to dig trenches or even bring fill dirt onto the site in some cases to fill in low, uneven spots.
What should I look for in a dirt and site work company/contractor?
There are a few major things you should look for in a dirt work contractor:
Make sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured.
Be sure that they have quality examples of their past work.
Ensure they have experience with your specific project.
Make sure they either keep everything in-house, or hire the same subcontractors each time.
Be sure to check with references, or have good reviews of their past projects.
Why does a site need dirt work prior to construction?
Dirt work makes sure that the land is cleared, compacted, level, and stable so that when the foundation of your new construction building is laid, it will be solid and built to last.
What does proper dirt work consist of for new construction?
- Land clearing to remove any vegetation, objects, etc.
