    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 equipment is used for excavation?

Excavation projects employ various heavy equipment, chosen based on the job's scale and complexity. Common equipment includes:
  • Excavators: Versatile machines with a bucket, arm, and rotating cab for digging, lifting, and moving earth.
  • Backhoes: Similar to excavators but with a digging bucket on the back and a loader bucket on the front, ideal for trenching and smaller excavations.
  • Bulldozers: Powerful machines with a large blade for pushing earth, clearing land, and leveling surfaces.
  • Skid Steers: Compact and maneuverable loaders with various attachments (buckets, forks) for digging, loading, and grading in tight spaces.
  • Trenchers: Specialized machines for digging narrow trenches for utilities.
  • Dump Trucks: Vehicles for hauling excavated material to disposal sites.
The choice of equipment depends on factors such as the type of excavation, soil conditions, site accessibility, and project budget.

How much does it cost to excavate a basement?

Basement excavation costs can fluctuate considerably based on these factors:
  • Basement Size: The larger the basement, the more excavation is required, increasing the cost.
  • Soil Type: Excavating rocky or dense clay soil is generally more expensive than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or more labor, driving up costs.
  • Foundation Type: The chosen foundation type (full basement, crawl space, slab) affects excavation needs.
  • Underpinning: If underpinning (strengthening existing foundations) is necessary, it significantly increases costs.
  • Disposal Fees: Hauling excavated soil to disposal sites adds to the overall expense.
Contact excavation contractors for detailed quotes based on your specific basement project.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.
