Frequently Asked Questions
What factors influence the cost of an excavation project?
Excavation costs depend on several variables, including site size, soil conditions, and accessibility. Hard rock, steep gradients, or limited entry points usually increase time and expense. The type of machinery required and the length of hire also impact the final figure. Additional costs can arise from waste disposal, permits, or unexpected underground obstructions. Careful planning and site assessment help reduce surprises.
How is underground utility damage prevented during excavation?
Before excavation begins, a utility search or “dial before you dig” service is typically carried out. This identifies gas, water, electrical, and communication lines below ground. Markers or spray paint are then used to map out these areas on-site. Operators adjust digging methods and use hand tools near sensitive zones to minimise risk. Following these steps greatly reduces the chance of costly or dangerous strikes.
When is a dozer more useful than an excavator?
A dozer is most effective when moving or spreading large volumes of soil across open ground. It is suited to road construction, site levelling, and clearing vegetation quickly. Excavators, on the other hand, are better for precise digging, trenching, or working in confined areas. Dozers shine where bulk material needs shifting rather than detailed excavation. Their blade design makes them efficient for shaping terrain over broad areas.

Smarter Site Prep
Excavation is more than moving dirt — it’s about preparing the perfect foundation for what comes next. We offer tailored solutions for residential, commercial, and rural projects, from service line trenches to pad cuts, driveways, and site preparation. Every dig is backed by our soil and water conservation training, which means we take care to manage runoff, protect surrounding land, and leave your site clean and ready.
Our fleet is kept in top condition for consistent performance, while our operators bring practical experience that keeps projects moving without delays. With flexible availability seven days a week, we’re here to fit your timeline and keep your build on schedule. Whatever your goals, we’ll help you lay the groundwork for success.
