Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

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.

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.

What is a soil engineer, and do I need one?

A soil engineer is a professional specializing in analyzing soil properties and their behavior under various conditions. They play a crucial role in:
  • Determining Soil Suitability: Assessing whether the soil can support the intended structure or load.
  • Recommending Foundation Types: Advising on the appropriate foundation design based on soil characteristics.
  • Addressing Drainage and Erosion Issues: Providing solutions to manage water runoff and prevent erosion.
  • Evaluating Slope Stability: Assessing the risk of landslides or soil movement on slopes.
You might need a soil engineer for projects involving:
  • Building on challenging soil types (expansive clay, loose sand, etc.)
  • Constructing large or complex structures
  • Excavating near slopes or retaining walls
  • Addressing drainage or erosion concerns
Your excavation contractor or local building department can advise if a soil engineer is necessary for your project.

What is the difference between cut and fill excavation?

Cut and fill excavation is a technique for balancing earthwork volumes on a site:
Cut: Involves excavating soil from an area where the existing grade is higher than the desired grade.
Fill: Refers to using the excavated soil ('cut' material) to raise the grade in an area where the existing grade is lower than desired.
This method minimizes the need to import or export soil, reducing costs and environmental impact. It's commonly used for site preparation, road construction, and landscaping.
