What services are included in excavation work?
Excavation services typically include site clearing, digging, soil removal, trenching for utilities, levelling land, and preparing foundations for construction. Depending on the project, it may also involve working around underground services, compacting soil, or creating access paths. Additional services like tipping, backfilling or machine hire may also be offered. Always confirm exactly what's included when reviewing your quote or project scope.
How long does a typical excavation project take?
Project duration depends on the job size, weather conditions, site access and type of excavation. Small residential tasks such as trenching or site preparation may take just one day. Larger commercial or multi-stage excavations can span several days or weeks. Efficient scheduling, dry weather and clear site access all contribute to a faster turnaround.
What types of machinery are used for excavation?
Common excavation machinery includes excavators, bobcats (skid steers), tipper trucks, and compact loaders. Mini excavators are used for smaller, tighter sites, while larger machines handle commercial-scale work. The choice of equipment depends on the project’s scale, site access and soil type. Some machines also support attachments like augers or rock breakers for added versatility.
