Driveway Process Using Excavation Services

Site Preparation

Preparing the site is the first step in making a driveway using excavation. This involves clearing the area of any vegetation, debris, or obstacles. The site is then leveled so that the excavation work can start.

Excavation

The next step is to excavate the area where the driveway will be located. This involves using heavy machinery such as excavators and bulldozers to dig out the soil and create a level surface. The excavation depth will depend on the type of driveway and the soil conditions.

Sub-Base Preparation

Once the excavation is complete, the next step is to prepare the sub-base. This involves adding a gravel or crushed stone layer to the excavated area and compacting it to create a stable base for the driveway. The thickness of the sub-base layer will depend on the soil conditions and the weight of the vehicles that will use the driveway.

Surface Preparation and Finishing

Finally, the surface of the driveway is prepared and finished. This involves adding a layer of asphalt, concrete, or paving stones to the sub-base layer. The surface is leveled and compacted to ensure smooth and even. The driveway edges are then sealed to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage over time.
