The equipment owned and operated by EarthFirst is great for all kinds of excavating and better in most scenerios.  For example, our excavator is designed to perform efficiently digging foundations in areas where there is not a lot of room to work.  
When a foundation is dug with our excavator, it looks as if it had been done with a flat shovel, very smooth and clean.  We have the ability to dig perfectly square corners from any angle. 
Moreover, we can work without tearing up existing landscaping. 

The excavator we use also gives us the ability to dig straight trenches without having to be in line with them.  Often, on a residential site, there is not enough room to position a regular excavator for a clean dig with minimal hand work.  I can operate that grapple like a big strong hand that can pinch, twist, turn, angle, pulling or pushing, dragging, digging, depositing.  This is why we feel the grapple attachment on our machine is priceless.Just click this link to See the Grappler in Action (Be patient, it is a Large AVI Movie file 35MB). Rockery jobs absolutly require a Grappler to provide the ability to do a good job.  The Grapple allows me to flip, twist and turn huge rocks to assemble a rockery wall, Rock stairway, Retainment walls, or containment fields with puzzle like perfection.

Lastly, I also spend a good deal of time finding people who need fill dirt.  Therefore, when I have dirt to dispose of, I can do it at a cost savings for my customer. 

Whether your excavation ideas include bulding, clearing, rockeries, or drainage - you will benefit from our specialized equipment to give you a good - fast - clean job.
