Q. HOW Do I Prepare For An

Excavation Contractor?

A. Do what you can to make the area accessible as possible. If that’s beyond your capabilities, make sure you let the excavating company know ahead of time what obstacles they may face. You should also move anything on the property that will be in the way, if at all possible.

Q. Should Utilities Be Marked

Before The Excavation Contractor

Comes?
