When I first met Luke and he told me he was in the excavating business I thought "What? Like digging up dinosaurs?" I had no clue what excavation was, or that it was even a professional career! I found out quickly that my first impression was completely wrong...
Excavating requires a lot of technical skill, and is a very "dirty" job. To the average person who knows nothing of construction, you wouldn't even think about how your wooded lot turns into a flat piece of land with a hole in it, ready for your basement. I myself don't have the full knowledge of what excavating entails (I handle all of the paperwork in a nice clean office). Therefore, I found a great article that breaks down what an Excavating Contractor does, and what you should know as a home/ business owner! I hope the link below helps in some way on your journey to hiring an Excavating Contractor for your needs.
