Excavation is the moving of soil, rock, and other materials at a construction site. This can be done through handheld tools such as shovels or pickaxes for small construction projects. In contrast, large construction projects will involve the use of various machinery and equipment. Excavation services included digging, removing or relocating, clearing, and levelling land for structures or any construction projects. These projects may include driveways, residential or commercial buildings, septic systems etc.
