Pond and Ditch Digging
Excavating water retention features or irrigation systems. This requires shaping the ground with gentle slopes and consistent depths to ensure water flows or holds properly. Often used in landscaping or agricultural settings.
Road and Driveway Preparation
Digging out base material and creating the initial shape of roads or driveways. This often involves removing topsoil, compacting the subgrade, and grading to desired contours before adding gravel or asphalt.
Rock Wall Building
Constructing decorative or structural walls using natural or cut stone. Excavators with thumbs or grapples are used to precisely place heavy rocks and boulders. The operator often shapes the terrain first, then stacks or sets stones for stability and appearance. This job requires finesse — balancing power with precise control — especially when working with irregular stone sizes.
Rock Stair Construction
Creating natural stone staircases into hillsides or landscapes. Excavators dig into the slope to form flat, compacted platforms (tread areas) and set large rock slabs for each step. The machine needs to carefully place each stone to maintain a consistent rise and run, ensuring the stairs are both functional and visually appealing. Often used in high-end landscaping or on rural properties.
