Earthmoving companies move around rock, soil and more. In fact, there are a few basic ways that earthmoving companies commonly work with soil. You may need to hire an earthmoving company to help you with moving around soil in one of these ways, or you might want to inquire about the other services that they offer.
1. Removing Soil From a Property
Soil is commonly removed from properties for things like installing swimming pools, digging out room so that a basement and foundation can be built and more. In these situations, you might need to have a rather large amount of soil removed from your property. If you don't have any plans in mind for using that soil, you might be hoping that the soil will be removed from its current location and taken off of your property completely. Earthmoving companies have the right equipment to scoop out the soil and create the hole that you need for whatever project you have been working on. Additionally, they will use dump trucks and other equipment to move that soil off of your property completely. They might use that soil for another project, such as by taking it to another customers' property where additional soil is needed.
2. Moving Soil Around the Property
As in the case above, you might want to remove soil from a certain area of your property for a project that you're working on. However, you might not want to have the soil completely removed from your property. Instead, you can have it moved in order to use it for things like landscaping your property, or you might want to have it spread out over your entire property completely. An earthmoving company will have the equipment to scoop soil and should be able to move it to where you want it and even spread it out.
3. Bringing in Soil to the Property
In the last scenario, earthmoving companies do sometimes bring soil onto properties. They might do this for a variety of reasons. In areas where flooding is a threat, it's not uncommon for soil to be brought in so that the land can be built up. This might be done to create a protective barrier, or a home or other structure might be built on the new "hill" that has been added to the land, which can help protect it from flooding. If you need to have soil brought in, an earthmoving company should be able to do it for you. They might bring their own soil to you, or you might need to purchase it from another company, and someone from the earthmoving company might go and pick it up for you.
