Site cuts and excavation can be used where larger changes to the existing ground are required. For landscaping projects, this may involve creating more usable levels before retaining walls or other outdoor work proceeds. Retaining walls can help manage soil where excavation creates differences in ground height, with drainage around these areas also needing consideration. Driveway works can begin with excavation and preparation before moving into concreting or asphalting, depending on the requirements of the project. Suitable falls and water management should be considered during this preparation because a finished hard surface changes how runoff moves through the property. These services often connect naturally on the same job. Addressing excavation, drainage and retaining requirements while the site is already being prepared can make more sense than returning to disturb completed landscaping or driveway surfaces later.
