Why Invest in Professional Earthworks?
Earthworks, also referred to as excavation work, are often the essential first step in any landscaping, construction, or drainage project. This phase lays the groundwork for everything that follows.
All too often underestimated, this crucial stage determines the durability and safety of the entire project.
Calling in a professional landscaper means investing wisely to avoid costly problems in the long term.
What does professional earthworks involve?
Earthmoving involves digging or moving materials (earth, rock, rubble) to prepare a site for construction work. A professional landscaping service usually includes:
- Soil and topography analysis
- Site levelling
- Digging for foundations, pools, drains, driveways, retaining walls
- Backfill and compaction
- Disposal of materials
At Sicurella & Fils we use specialized equipment, operated by qualified technicians. These professionals are familiar with local standards, technical constraints and the risks to be avoided.
Why call in a professional?
Calling in an earthmoving expert isn’t just an administrative formality, it’s a practical and safe necessity.
A professional ensures that the work is done right the first time, avoiding future complications.
Sicurella & Fils systematically contacts Info-Excavation to request underground utility locates before starting any earthworks project.
5 reasons to invest in professional landscaping
- Preserving the structure of future facilities
Poorly prepared soil can lead to settling, cracks and water infiltration. This has a direct impact on foundations, terraces, pavers or swimming pools installed later.
- Avoiding drainage-related risks
A good drainage system is vital to prevent the build-up of water near your home, which could damage the foundation. An earthworks expert will ensure correct slope and integrate effective solutions (French drains, sumps, etc.).
- Save time and comply with standards
A professional is familiar with municipal bylaws, distances to be respected, property limits, and has the necessary permits. This avoids costly mistakes and redo work.
- Reduce long-term costs
Amateur landscaping may seem economical, but it often leads to costly repairs. A professional does the job right the first time, using quality materials.
- Access to a turnkey service
A professional service such as that offered by Sicurella & Fils takes care of everything: inspection, digging, site clean-up, layout of materials, coordination with other trades.
