FAQ
Can I use an excavator for fence or retaining wall prep?
Yes, an excavator is ideal for preparing post holes, footings or clearing the space needed for fence lines and retaining wall foundations. It allows for faster digging with greater consistency and reduces the chance of uneven footing or excess soil removal. It’s especially helpful when you’re dealing with hard ground or tight timeframes.
Do I need a licence to hire and operate an excavator?
In many cases, a formal licence isn’t required for operating a small excavator on private residential property, especially for DIY or non-commercial work. However, it’s still important to understand how to operate the machine safely and check for underground services before digging. For commercial worksites or larger machines, state regulations may require a licence or certified operator. Always confirm local rules before starting the job.
Can I use an excavator in wet or muddy conditions?
While excavators are built for outdoor use, using them in very wet or muddy conditions can be risky. Slippery or waterlogged ground can affect stability, traction and digging accuracy. It also increases the chance of the machine getting bogged or damaging the site. If wet weather is forecast, it’s best to delay the job or work in well-drained areas. Always assess the site first — safety and surface conditions matter.
