How to Decide on an Earth Moving Contractor

Earth moving is done for many reasons, including for construction projects.

Here at A1 Digging Solutions, we are the experts at jobs both large and small. When you undergo such an intense project, you want to be sure it’s being done correctly.

That’s why it’s important to understand the process and choose the earthmoving contractors that are best equipped to get it done for you.

Here’s what to look for and why you’ll be happiest if you choose us for your earthmoving needs. 

Type of Material

The type of material that you need moved should play a role in who you hire to do the job.

Fortunately, we can do quite a few of these jobs and are skilled with working with a variety of materials and pieces of equipment. We can do general earthmoving, horizontal drilling, excavating, landscaping, directional drilling, cable laying and retention wall construction.

As you can see, the best choice is a contractor well trained and experienced with a variety of materials and tools. 

Cost

Chances are that you have a budget for the job you need done. Since it doesn’t make sense to go over, it’s a good idea to check out contractors that can offer you their services at a price you’re comfortable paying.

We offer affordable rates for all of our services and are happy to work with you so that you’re happy with the cost and the finished job. 

The Right Equipment

Part of performing your earthmoving job correctly is having the right equipment. You should never hire someone who isn’t trained to do the job and who can’t supply the proper equipment to get it done.

We always bring the right tools with us, depending the earthmoving needs for your job. We have a 1.5 tonne excavator, a 2 tonne tipper, a chain trencher, a dingo hire and a concreting mixture. 

License, Training and Experience

Of course, you want to be sure the contractor you hire is trained and licensed.

We hire only the most well trained earth movers so you can be sure you’re getting what you pay for. If a contractor is unable to provide evidence of training and skill, it’s a good sign that you should look elsewhere.

You can always rely on the job we’ll do for you.
