Next, obtain necessary permits. Depending on the scope of your project, you may need local permits for excavation work. Select Excavation can assist you in understanding the regulatory requirements and obtaining the necessary approvals.

Clear the work area. Remove any obstacles such as rocks, debris, or vegetation that might hinder the excavation process. Ensuring a clear and accessible site allows the excavation team to work efficiently and safely.

Inform your neighbors about the upcoming work. This courtesy helps maintain good relationships and prepares them for any potential disruptions, such as noise or increased traffic.

Consider underground utilities. Before any digging begins, it is crucial to identify and mark the locations of any underground utilities like gas lines, water pipes, or electrical cables. This step is vital for safety and to avoid costly damages. Select Excavation can help coordinate this process with utility companies.

Prepare for weather conditions. Summer weather can be unpredictable, with sudden rain or extreme heat. Have a plan in place to protect the excavation site from erosion or flooding, and ensure workers have access to shade and hydration to stay safe.
