  • Earth Basics Contracting Corporation

    3010 E. Miraloma Ave, Anaheim, 92806, US

    Earth Basics is Leading California & Texas in Site Balancing Earth Basics has managed more than 100 million square feet of earthwork ventures which include warehouses, retail centers, office complexes, food processing plants, manufacturing facilities, and more. Extensive in-house resources enable Earth Basics to tailor their services to meet and exceed their client’s needs and project objectives. Earth Basics efficiently coordinates their earthwork, focusing on time, cost and quality issues to guarantee results. Each project is unique, varying in scope, requiring customized designs, approaches, and applications. A systematic yet adaptable project management program is key for project success. By paying close attention to detail, quality is raised while simultaneously controlling costs. We anticipate and avoid problems rather than fixing them once they happen. No matter which direction your projects may take, Earth Basics stands ready to meet your earthwork needs. Levees & Flood Control Over the past decade, the Western US has seen the opposite end of the weather spectrum. The drought and the following weather systems that followed have changed our landscapes, damaged pre-existing infrastructure and cause millions in damage. Levees and flood control built before the drought may not be ready for the next waves of winter weather we have recently witnessed. In foresight flood control and storm water control has become a recent addition to our capabilities for all industries. This was natural to move for us, as we already offer civil engineering services, technology services, and equipment to perform this type of work, which is typically needed on very short notice. Earth Basics’ culture and customer service attitude allows for a quick response in a time of need, and we have what it takes to get the job done in a timely and cost efficient manner. Land Clearing/Demo Structure demolition, boulder removal, uprooting trees and vegetation. If you got it, Earth Basics can clear it out. Our unique earthwork experience in the business allows us to ‘value engineer’ the project, while planning and scheduling to account for all project obstacles from the start. Depending on your needs, Earth Basics can centralize the process and assume responsibility for everything from conceptual development through the design and construction. We know what works best, and can quickly and efficiently perform the task. Golf Courses The key feature of the world’s greatest golf courses is their grounds. Our expert crews and a specialized fleet of heavy equipment provide premium earthworks, excavation, and land clearing services to achieve even the most complicated elements of course design. From ground zero to C of O we do it all. Our estimating department uses cutting edge technology to produce accurate takeoffs and 3D modeling. With GPS Machine and Grade Control technology, ensuring we save your time and money on your project by getting it done faster, with incredible accuracy, and with minimal surveying costs to the property owner. Public Works Governments exist to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. America’s public works systems are part of the framework for that existence. Earth Basics infrastructure design can provide roads for safe travel, utilities for clean water, parks for recreation, and storm water management for protection against flooding. The quality of these infrastructure systems (roads, water distribution, wastewater collection, and storm drainage), impact the perception of the area and reflect its reputation. These types of projects have always been a great fit for the Earth Basics team. Housing Tracts Building a track home community is a large undertaking and land planning feet. Without the proper earthworks team, your project can be delayed or even worse encounter costly problems down the road. Our team at Earth Basics takes pride in our attention to detail with land development and controlled earthwork. Many subcontractors continuously praise and hope to start their work behind the earthwork's execution of work done on the preliminary subdivision plans, subdivision plat, and general grading. Testimonials Earth Basics leads in value added engineering while specializing in earthwork, excavation, heavy general engineering, site balancing, mass grading, ripping, scarification, moisture conditioning, dozing, 3D site modeling, land clearing, demolition, earthwork finishing, landfill closers and much more. Working throughout California, Arizona, and Texas, our highly trained staff develops innovative solutions to a variety of land and infrastructure needs in both the private and public sectors. Our team works in tandem with civil and soils engineer to establish balanced job sites during the essential preliminary stages of construction and site development. It is a common fact that most contractors prefer to start their work after Earth Basics develops perfected building pads.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the USA.

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

How do I prepare my property for excavation?

Here's a checklist to prepare your property for an excavation project:
  • Clear the Area: Remove any obstacles, including vehicles, outdoor furniture, landscaping features, or structures, from the excavation zone and surrounding area.
  • Mark Existing Features: Identify and mark underground utilities, septic tanks, sprinkler systems, or other buried elements you want to protect.
  • Protect Landscaping: Use tarps or fencing to shield trees, shrubs, gardens, or other landscaping elements from damage.
  • Provide Access: Ensure the excavation contractor has clear access to the work area, including gates wide enough for equipment.
  • Discuss Logistics: Coordinate with the contractor regarding parking arrangements, material delivery, and any special instructions or concerns you might have.
By taking these steps, you can minimize disruptions, ensure a smoother excavation process, and protect your property.

How do I know if I need a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or rock and prevent erosion on sloped terrain. You might need a retaining wall if:
  • Sloped Property: Your property has a significant slope, making it prone to soil erosion or landslides.
  • Creating Usable Space: You want to level off a sloped area to create a flat surface for patios, gardens, or other outdoor spaces.
  • Preventing Damage: Erosion is threatening existing structures, driveways, or walkways.
  • Landscaping Features: You're incorporating tiered gardens, raised beds, or other landscaping elements requiring soil retention.
Consult with an excavation contractor or landscape architect to determine if a retaining wall is necessary for your project and to ensure it's properly designed and constructed for safety and longevity.

How do you protect utilities during excavation?

Protecting buried utilities is paramount during excavation. Here are crucial steps:
  • Utility Locates: Contact your utility companies to mark the locations of underground lines before excavation begins. This is usually a free service.
  • Hand Digging: Excavate carefully by hand near marked utility lines to avoid damage.
  • Potholing: Digging small test holes to expose and verify utility depths and locations.
  • Safe Distances: Maintaining a safe distance between excavation equipment and marked utility lines.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Using vacuum excavation techniques to expose utilities without digging, reducing the risk of damage.
Reputable excavation contractors prioritize utility protection and adhere to safety guidelines to prevent costly and potentially dangerous accidents.
