Over 30 Years of Experience California Licensed General Engineering Contractors License # 969883 License Type Class A C21 HAV HIC Member of the Better Business Bureau Free Estimates and Consultations History of Vollmer Excavation: Bob was born and raised in the Lindsay, California area. His family lived in the foothills of Lindsay where they worked together. Bob and his siblings would go to school and after they returned home they worked with their parents, packing fruit, caring for the family ranch, and working in the family granite pit. In the 1970’s, Bob worked at the local creamery doing maintenance on their equipment. An acquaintance of his stopped by to let him know that he had a backhoe for sale and wanted to know if Bob knew of anyone who may be interested. The backhoe was really worn out, but Bob thought he could repair it and sell it for a small profit. Friends and neighbors started asking him to do some work for them before he sold his backhoe. Of course, he wasn’t going to say no, one small job led to another and before he knew it he had his own backhoe business. Bob ran the old Ford Major backhoe for about a year and a half until the boom broke in half. He upgraded to a newer machine and landed a nice contract with a swimming pool company digging pools. When a different swimming pool contractor-asked for his services it was time to start hiring help. This small one-man business has grown to 25 employees today, one employee recently retired being one of the original employees starting in 1972 and worked with him until 2013, a total of 41 years! Bob’s employees are more than just employees to him, they are friends, family. To this day Bob still has some of his original customers. It is very important to him to take care of his customers and to make sure they are happy. He has made many emergency, middle of the night runs for his customers, anything from pulling a truck out of the mud to repairing a broken pipeline. We can honestly say his work is his life, he loves to work and to help people. Bob has made a great name for himself in the Central Valley and for very good reason!

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

How do you handle soil disposal after excavation?

Responsible soil disposal after excavation is essential. Excavation contractors typically handle it by:
  • Hauling to Designated Disposal Sites: Transporting excavated material to approved landfills or recycling centers.
  • Recycling or Reuse: If suitable, some excavated soil might be recycled for other projects or reused on-site for landscaping or backfilling.
  • Complying with Regulations: Adhering to local and environmental regulations for soil disposal to prevent contamination or illegal dumping.
Discuss disposal plans with your contractor, inquire about recycling options, and ensure they handle waste responsibly.

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.

What should I do before excavation starts?

Prior to the start of excavation, take these essential steps:
  • Clearly Define the Scope: Outline the project's goals, including the excavation area, depth, grade, and intended use.
  • Obtain Necessary Permits: Research and acquire any required permits from your local authorities.
  • Mark Utility Lines: Contact your utility companies to locate and mark underground utilities to prevent damage.
  • Communicate with Neighbors: Inform your neighbors about the project's timeline and potential noise or disruptions.
  • Prepare the Site: Clear any obstacles, such as vegetation, furniture, or structures, from the excavation area.
  • Discuss Safety Protocols: Review safety procedures with the contractor to ensure a safe work environment.
Taking these steps helps ensure a smooth and successful excavation project.

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.
