Excavation for the planned build

Oasis offers excavation for projects such as pools, drainage improvements, and new hardscape. The work is planned around the proposed construction, existing elevations, and the space available for equipment.

01

Defining the earthwork

The scope depends on what is being built, how much material needs to move, and where equipment can enter. Existing trees, structures, and finished surfaces also need to be considered.

02

Before equipment arrives

Share gate widths, narrow side yards, and any known access restrictions. Utilities, runoff, staging space, and applicable approvals should be addressed before digging begins.

03

Requesting an excavation review

Include the address, the purpose of the excavation, and any known access restrictions. Existing plans or site photos can help explain the work.

Common questions

Excavation questions

Can I ask about excavation on its own?

Yes. Send the location and a description of the work so Oasis can review the scope.

Why do you need to know about access?

Equipment and materials need a route into the work area. Gates, slopes, and existing paving can affect that route.

Can excavation and drainage be planned together?

Yes. Oasis offers both services. Mention water problems when you first discuss the project.

Ask about site preparation

Send the property address and a few details about the work you have in mind. Oasis will follow up about a consultation.
