Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before an earthmoving crew arrives on site?
Clear the area of any vehicles, loose equipment or obstacles. If there are underground services on the property — water, power, gas or telecommunications — make sure you know where they run and mark them clearly before any digging begins. Contacting Dial Before You Dig is a straightforward way to get service locations confirmed ahead of time.
How do I get an accurate quote for earthmoving work?
The most reliable way is to have a contractor visit the site in person. Factors like soil type, slope, access, the volume of material to be moved and proximity to structures or boundaries all affect the cost. Photos and a description of the job can help with a ballpark estimate, but a site visit will always give you the most accurate figure.
Can earthmoving be done in wet weather?
Light rain generally won't stop earthmoving work, but heavy or sustained rain can make conditions unsafe and cause significant damage to the ground surface. Wet soil also becomes much harder to work with and compact properly. Most contractors will reschedule if conditions are unsuitable, and it's worth factoring potential weather delays into your project timeline from the start.
What happens to the excavated material after earthmoving?
Excavated soil and rock can be repurposed on site as fill in other areas, or it can be removed by tipper truck if it's not needed. Some material like clean fill may have value and can be taken by other parties. What happens to spoil depends on its composition, volume and your site requirements — something worth discussing with your contractor upfront.
