Augusta has excavating and ditching equipment available for sale. Excavation is a process by which layers of soil are removed. The dirt or soil is relocated, and the ground leveled so that residential, commercial, utilities or infrastructural projects can be constructed on the site. Ditching is the removal or earth for making a ditch, which is a shallow channel for water. Removing a considerable quantity of earth needs heavy machinery, such as backhoes, excavators, power shovels and bulldozers. Usually, excavation is carried out using an excavator, which may be available for sale in either new or used condition in Augusta. Excavation is done for new and existing highways, ramps and overpasses. They may also be used for providing topsoil and fill services, especially in wetland areas. Ditching can be done as a method of water conservation.
