    Ely, GB

    Who are we? My name is Brock Maverick; I am the owner of this business. I typically work with my wife, Faith, by my side, and you may see my dad, Cordell often with me as well, as his experience is next to none. You might also see other Maverick family members when I work! We are very close knit, as God has blessed us with like-minded goals and a strong bond. What do we stand for? What we mean by “The True Mavericks of the Industry” is that every job we do, we are going to pursue excellence and stand out. We do not like mediocre and will work to pass our customers’ expectations with every job. We set the bar much higher for our competitors because we will always be honest, get a job done as fast as possible, and will not sacrifice quality, going above and beyond what each job requires. Additionally, safety and cleanliness is a top priority for us; we will not leave a mess at our jobsite. Throughout my life I’ve been around many general contractors, and not very many had a good attitude or had passion about the job they were doing. We started this business to change that, and with passion being the driver of why I started doing this. I want to represent my family well and give glory to God with every job I do, which means when I finish a job, I want to say that I made someone happy with a well-done job. So please give us a call; we’d be happy to help! God Bless! What equipment do we have? Our two primary pieces of equipment are the John Deere 85g Excavator and the 333g Compact Track Loader (CTL). Attachments include the Kent F9 rock breaker/post pounder; multiple sizes of excavator buckets; an auger with various size options including our specialty 3-inch rock drill made for the roughest jobs, a grapple bucket, and of course the basic bucket and pallet forks. I also have a large trailer I use both to haul my equipment, and brush when needed. We are always growing and will be adding items as we go to become a powerhouse for any jobs needed locally. To see our current services, check out the Services tab, but feel free to give me a call if you have something else in mind!

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

How much does excavation cost?

Excavation costs in the UK vary greatly based on several factors:
  • Project Size and Scope: The larger and more complex the excavation, the higher the cost.
  • Soil Type: Different soil types require different equipment and techniques, impacting costs. Rocky or clay-rich soil can be more expensive to excavate than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or additional labor, increasing expenses.
  • Disposal Costs: Hauling away excavated material (soil, rocks, etc.) to disposal sites incurs additional fees.
  • Permits and Inspections: Depending on local regulations, permits and inspections might be required, adding to the overall cost.
To get an accurate estimate, provide detailed project information to multiple excavation contractors on ExcavationHQ and compare their quotes.

How deep can you excavate?

The depth of excavation achievable depends on multiple factors:
  • Soil Type and Stability: Stable, cohesive soils allow for deeper excavations than loose or unstable soils.
  • Groundwater Level: Excavations below the water table require dewatering techniques to manage water intrusion.
  • Equipment and Resources: The size and capabilities of excavation equipment influence the achievable depth.
  • Safety Regulations: OSHA and other safety regulations impose limitations on trench depths without proper shoring or sloping.
  • Project Requirements: The purpose of the excavation (basement, pool, foundation) determines the necessary depth.
Experienced excavation contractors can assess your site and project specifics to determine the safe and feasible excavation depth.

How do I prepare my property for excavation?

Here's a checklist to prepare your property for an excavation project:
  • Clear the Area: Remove any obstacles, including vehicles, outdoor furniture, landscaping features, or structures, from the excavation zone and surrounding area.
  • Mark Existing Features: Identify and mark underground utilities, septic tanks, sprinkler systems, or other buried elements you want to protect.
  • Protect Landscaping: Use tarps or fencing to shield trees, shrubs, gardens, or other landscaping elements from damage.
  • Provide Access: Ensure the excavation contractor has clear access to the work area, including gates wide enough for equipment.
  • Discuss Logistics: Coordinate with the contractor regarding parking arrangements, material delivery, and any special instructions or concerns you might have.
By taking these steps, you can minimize disruptions, ensure a smoother excavation process, and protect your property.
