Simply put, excavation contractors create canvases for construction projects. They dig and level areas for additions and new foundations, grade and prepare land for landscaping and pools, compact soil for stable building, trench for underground utilities, and perform other tasks to ensure building sites have the necessary bases and infrastructure. Because of this, they can also help you make the most of your property. It’s expensive to live in California, so utilizing every part of your property helps you get the most out of your investment. If you can have a bigger house, build an extra room or add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), that goes a long way toward increasing the value of your property. Experts say maximizing property value starts in the project planning phase. As you’re designing your project, make sure you’re doing everything you can for the best and highest uses of the property now and in the future. Consider any project that you may eventually want to take on and talk to your excavation contractor about it before the current job starts. There are ways to modify an excavation job to set up a property for future success.  For example, when digging a new foundation, ask your contractor to grade and compact soil, add drainage, or trench the rest of the property to prepare for future landscaping or construction projects. Also, if you want to get rid of a pool, consider fully removing it instead of filling it in. Your excavation contractor can compact and grade the soil to make room for a future ADU or outdoor living space.  <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-county-excavating/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Excavation Contractors</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-demolition/" target="_self">Alameda County Demolition Contractors</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-demolition/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Demolition Contractors</a> Related Articles <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/excavating-and-demolition/" target="_self">The Homeowner's Guide to Excavating & Demolition</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
