What you need to know about land clearing and excavation 

The cost and amount of time it will take to clear the land will depend on a few factors. It starts by removing any large rocks and vegetation. The brush and trees can quickly become obstacles.  Roots and hazardous materials can become huge problems down the road. 

Grading

Site Management 

Central Florida is a very busy town, it is important for the job site to establish entrances and exits that are convenient and do not impede on traffic in the local area.

The excavation team also needs to take into account where their fill pile will be located and the appropriate roads to use when removing excavated materials. 

Location of Utilities

Whether the excavation for a residential site or business, it is important to understand what is below the ground. Are there utility lines already running through the site? The utilities for your project, power, water, gas, sewage adds another dimension.
