Excavation

Many people think landscaping is just the process of picking out what kind of flowers and bushes you want lining your house. There is much more that goes into it than that. Other than looking beautiful, a landscape also has to last. Everything starts with the foundation, and proper excavation is crucial to creating a beautiful landscape. Excavation can involve digging trenches, grading, restoration, piping, and hauling and providing materials. An excavation is a hole in the ground that you get by removing the surface material. A trench is an excavated hole that's dug down to be deeper than it is wide.

These are not things you can do on your own for a weekend project. Heavy machinery is needed and the proper training to handle it, as the equipment can be extremely dangerous. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says trenching and excavation has even proven fatal when the proper precautions weren't taken. As excavations get deeper, the risk of the hole caving in or flooding increases. It takes an expert to add in the proper supports to make sure that doesn't happen. Licensed professionals also know how to avoid cutting into electrical and phone lines. You also have to be familiar with the soil types you're dealing with. 

Even if the landscaping job is simply outside your home or business, you still need to do some significant digging and place down heavy material. A green thumb is not ample qualification for the job at hand, which may include holes where new trees will be planted or cleared out dirt where pathways or outdoor patios will be built.

Excavating can also be used to classify the paving and surfacing work done with cement, concrete, and other materials. Since these things are as close to permanent as a building surface can get, there's no room for error. Mistakes in this area are time-consuming and costly and need to be done correctly the first try.
