Dirt hauling is an important though often overlooked aspect of land development.
Dirt hauling is the process of removing and/or transporting soil during the course of a construction or land development project. Whether you need to remove excess dirt or bring in fresh soil, you’ll need a reliable dirt hauling service to get the job done right.
Residential dirt hauling
You may need dirt hauling services for your residential construction project in Southern Georgia. If you’re building a home, constructing a new driveway, addressing drainage issues on your property, or digging a pond or pool on your land, you will have excess dirt that needs to be disposed of properly.
Any residential construction project that involves land grading or excavation will likely require dirt hauling services to dispose of the old dirt and other materials dug up in the process.
Likewise, your home construction project or major landscaping might require a delivery of fresh soil.
Commercial construction dirt hauling
At D&H Land Management, we specialize in commercial and industrial land development. Dirt hauling follows any kind of grading, surface smoothing, or land clearing. If you need to do landscaping or construction for your business, retail, or large-scale property, dirt hauling will be a key part of the project.
Land grading is standard practice for most commercial building and landscaping projects in order to create a level surface. If your construction project requires creating a level surface, dirt will be removed from high places and added to lower areas. Creating a level surface is important for controlling drainage, or building new structures on a piece of property. In addition, a level surface makes it easier and safer for equipment to access the construction site.
Dirt hauling and the environment
Dirt hauling is a necessary aspect of your construction project. But, it also has potential benefits for the environment as well. Replacing old dirt with new, fresh topsoil can create a healthier environment for vegetation and plant growth. Whether you’ve got a garden or a farm, the health of your soil is key to successful production of plant life. Introducing healthy topsoil to your land is one of the top ways you can improve the overall health of your property for years to come.
At the same time, dirt removal and disposal must be done properly in order to be environmentally sound. The process of excavating a plot of land can unearth waste and other potentially harmful materials along with dirt and soil. Local and state regulations govern how and where dirt can be disposed of; an experienced, professional dirt hauling contractor will make sure everything is up to code.
Dirt hauling and safety
Dirt hauling can be a dangerous job. Statistics show that construction and transportation are two of the most dangerous occupations in the United States year after year. In addition to the potentially harmful nature of the materials dug up during excavation, dirt hauling involves heavy machinery such as excavators, dump trucks, and bulldozers requiring specialized expertise. It is critical that you do not attempt to remove large amounts of dirt by yourself. This is a job that should only be handled by experienced professionals. What’s more, it’s important to choose a responsible contractor whose employees are properly trained to do the job safely. Companies who use negligent hiring and training practices put their workers at risk, and can turn your construction project into a nightmare.
