Arizona Earth Excavation Is Done Right With These Pros

There’s a lot to do behind the scenes of every landscape and lawn care construction project.  One of the most essential parts is the very first step of the construction process – the excavation.

DEFINING EARTHWORKS

Excavation is essential in creating the foundation on which the structure will stand. Earthworks excavation refers to the removal of earth, rock, and other ground materials using tools, equipment, or explosives.

The process is most commonly used in construction to lay solid foundations, embankments, and grade land. Many different techniques are used for excavation, such as building, digging, dredging, creating French drains, trenching, and site development.

The type of project you have and the amount of work you are attempting to accomplish will determine which process is necessary for your construction project.

When starting your landscaping activities, your project must be properly prepared and ready. Trust Specialty Grading when it comes to anything that deals with residential and commercial earthworks!

Excavation

Excavation is a method used to remove rocks from the ground, which is an important part of construction projects. Some of the excavation services we provide are the following:

  • Earthworks Excavation – removing Earth to prepare for a structure’s foundation.
  • Footing Excavation – used to support buildings by laying the groundwork to support the heavy structure without it caving into the ground below it.
  • Residential or Commercial Drainage Services – to protect a structure’s foundation from damaging water, drainage methods need to be properly implemented to direct clean water traffic from entering, or back flowing into the building. Ditches and trenches would be dug accordingly to achieve this protection.
  • Cut and Fill Excavation – before a landscape construction project can begin, it may be necessary to clear the land of topsoil, rock, sand, and other material that would inhibit a sound foundation.
  • Topsoil & Yard Excavation – Removing decaying or unwanted vegetation and other materials from the topsoil layer for a more appealing yard, or to provide the more suitable groundwork for a stable foundation for a new site build.

Land Grading

There are 3 levels of land grading throughout the excavation construction project:

  • Rough Excavation Grading – During the building process of the new structure, the land will need to go through the first stage of shaping the land, backfilling the soil, and establishing the drainage after the foundation or the stem wall is poured.
  • Final Excavation Grading – The second stage of the project when the structure is built. Specialty Grading ensures accurate implementation and function of the drainage flow lines by grading land away from the house and building foundations. The land is then prepared to be landscaped for the final aesthetics.
  • Engineered Certified Final Grades – All land grading projects must be Engineered Certified, this guarantees the correct percent grade using a laser level to check the grade to flow per plan.

Our recent projects

As soil grading contractors in Prescott AZ, we tackle various aspects of civil engineering and architectural construction in our ground and soil work. We work closely with engineering teams to make sure your site is excavated according to plans.

Materials are hauled away and the required material is brought in to achieve an appropriate depth for trenches and foundations.  Having a stable foundation is vital for any construction process. Whether we have to work with a level base or a specified slope we make sure the ground is ready for building.

Similarly, our excavating contractors face various soil-related tasks for site clearing and preparation. The process of soil and rock screening clears the ground soil of unsuitable contaminants for construction. We provide culvert installation and dozer work while making sure unnecessary materials are removed in the process. 

You don’t have to worry about the removal of trees, shrubs, plants, and other obstacles that could stall construction. They will be removed with ease as excavation proceeds. Our depth of knowledge and simple work process makes your life easier so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Equipped with the best excavation tools, we’re responsible and committed to providing feasible solutions to any kind of excavation work your next construction project requires.
