What Excavating In Lancaster, PA Entails 

Most construction jobs start with excavation. This is a form of construction where contractors dig, move, and grade dirt using large machinery for various construction projects. For residential purposes excavating the land is always necessary before building a home, garage, or pool.


Excavation is the essential first step in any construction project. Excavating creates a strong foundation and provides a stable surface for the surrounding property.

Benefits Of Hiring A Professional

  1. Excavating companies have professional equipment for the job, so the homeowner does not have to worry about renting anything.

  2. Professional contractors know the proper rules and regulations and hold the required licenses and permits to operate the machinery.

  3. With proper tools and experience, a professional can get the job done in a fraction of the amount of time that it would take an inexperienced person.

  4. Safety is paramount and the top priority for professionals. Professional excavation contractors have a list of safety procedures that they must follow. For example, they know all the protocols of having maps of nearby gas and water lines and what to do if one of those lines was accidentally hit. Professional teams also wear the proper safety protection to reduce the risk of on-site accidents.

  5. Professional contractors are insured and can have that safety net in case something goes wrong. For example, the company's insurance would cover if a water line were hit during a dig. It would be an extremely costly mistake for someone uninsured and inexperienced. 

Most Common Excavating Jobs

The most common jobs that require excavating services are:

  • Trenching - includes installing wells, sewers, utilities, and foundational supports
  • Grading- the process of reshaping the land at a construction site
  • Landscaping - Using heavy machinery to dig tree holes and fence posts and move the earth to support the landscape appropriately
  • In-ground pool removal
  • Removal of an underground oil tank
  • Removal of a concrete slab
  • Digging a new foundation
  • Leveling rocky soil for construction
  • Clearing the earth after an oil spill

Excavation is NOT a DIY Job

If you are trying to cut costs and stay within a budget for your project, this is not an area you want to try and do yourself. Instead, hiring an excavating contractor in Lancaster, PA, is the way to go because it takes loads of training and the ability to properly use heavy machinery and equipment.
