Some landscape designs and projects are enormous undertakings that may require the use of heavy equipment to create the look and feel you want for your home or business. But hiring a company that uses huge, potentially dangerous equipment can be intimidating, so what do you look for in an excellent landscape excavation company?
A Lot of “In the Trenches” Work Experience
There is no substitute for practical work experience operating heavy equipment and completing high-quality, eye-catching landscape designs and renovations. Experienced backhoe, skid-steer, and mini excavators know how to perform the work needed by operating this equipment efficiently and right the first time. They know how to estimate the work involved in a project, know the local codes and regulations for any excavation, and how to avoid common problems. This company should also provide you with many examples of their completed work and references from past clients.
Proper Licenses and Certifications
An excellent landscape excavation company has the proper licenses and certifications for doing business in the state of Utah. These companies have licenses such as the Excavation and Grading Contractor and Landscaping Contractor licenses to take on landscape design and excavation projects.
Liability Insurance
At a minimum, the landscape contractor you select should have General Liability Insurance with a minimum of $300,000 in total coverage. They may have additional insurance as well.
The Right Heavy Equipment
The landscape excavating company you select must have the right equipment to move the dirt, rocks, and other materials in an excavation. They should have equipment to grade landscape, transport soil and stone, and handle other landscape design tasks. They should also have experienced heavy equipment operators behind the wheel of this equipment.
Superior Customer Service
There is no substitute for helpful and courteous customer service. It doesn’t cost the company anything to provide for you. When you are making this type of investment in your landscaping design, the employees, everyone from the person who answers the phone to the person running the backhoe for the project, should answer your questions and provide you with essential information about the project at any time.
