Moving Earth With a Purpose.

Excavation

Excavation is often one of the most important stages in preparing a property for construction, drainage, access, utilities, or site improvement. Evans & Son provides excavation services around what the property needs to accomplish next - whether material must be removed, relocated, cut down, built up, or shaped to create the required site conditions.

WHAT EXCAVATION CAN INCLUDE

The exact scope depends on the property, soil conditions, access, elevations, drainage requirements,
utilities, and the intended use of the site.

  • Digging and material removal
  • Cut-and-fill work
  • Building-area preparation
  • Drainage excavation, swales, and ditches
  • Utility trench and corridor preparation
  • Driveway and access excavation
  • Pond or retention-area excavation
  • Soil relocation, stockpiling, loading, and hauling

WHEN EXCAVATION IS NEEDED

Excavation may be required for new construction, building pads, drainage improvements, roads, driveways, utility installation, site development, property expansion, or water-management projects.

Some projects require material to be removed. Others require soil to be relocated or elevations changed across the property. The key is understanding why the earth is being moved and what the finished area must accomplish.

Excavation SERVICES

CUT, FILL & MATERIAL MOVEMENT

CUT

A cut removes soil from an area that is too high or where material must be taken out to reach the required elevation.

FILL

Fill adds appropriate material to raise an area or establish the elevation needed for access, grading, construction, or another site feature.

MATERIAL RELOCATION

When conditions allow, usable material may be moved and reused elsewhere on the property instead of automatically hauling material away or importing new material.

DRAINAGE & WATER MANAGEMENT

Excavation frequently plays an important role in controlling how water moves across a property. Depending on the project, work may include swales, drainage paths, ditches, culvert areas, low-area correction, ponds, retention areas, or runoff routes.

EQUIPMENT

& SITE CONDITIONS

The equipment selected for excavation depends on the size, access, material, depth, and requirements of the project. Work may involve excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, buckets, grading attachments, material-handling equipment, compaction equipment, and hauling equipment.
Before work begins, we evaluate:

  • Access and available working space
  • Soil and material conditions
  • Existing and proposed elevations
  • Drainage and low areas
  • Structures, utilities, and areas that must be protected
  • Where excavated material will be reused, stockpiled, loaded, or hauled
  • The finished use of the site

EXCAVATION OR
SITE DEVELOPMENT?

The two services often work together, but they are not the same.

EXCAVATION
Focuses primarily on digging, cutting, removing, relocating, or shaping soil and material.

SITE DEVELOPMENT
Looks at the broader preparation of the property and may combine clearing, excavation, grading, drainage, access, material placement, and site preparation.

OUR PROCESS

HOW THE PROJECT WORKS

1 UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE

We determine what needs to be dug, removed, moved, lowered, raised, or prepared. Plans, surveys, elevations, specifications, and utility information can be reviewed when available.

2 EVALUATE THE SITE

We assess access, terrain, soils, drainage, elevations, existing features, utilities, working space, and where excavated material will need to go.

3 EXCAVATE & MANAGE MATERIAL

The contracted excavation is completed and material is relocated, stockpiled, loaded, hauled, or supplemented according to the project requirements.

4 PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PHASE

We review the completed scope and determine whether the work area is ready for grading, drainage work, access installation, construction preparation, or another phase of site development.
