Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.

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.

How do I know if I need excavation for my project?

Several project types often necessitate excavation:
  • New Construction: Laying foundations, basements, or underground utilities for new buildings.
  • Home Additions: Creating space for new rooms, basements, or extensions.
  • Landscaping: Leveling ground, creating slopes, installing retaining walls, or digging for ponds or pools.
  • Drainage Improvement: Installing French drains, drainage ditches, or swales to manage water runoff.
  • Utility Installation or Repair: Laying new water, sewer, gas, or electrical lines, or repairing existing ones.
  • Demolition: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolishing a structure.
If your project involves altering the ground level or installing underground features, excavation is likely required.
