For many people, land
from excavations at a construction site is a troublesome problem. Before we take it out, let's check
whether it will be useful on our property.
The use of soil
excavated during excavation for the construction of real estate depends on its
quality. Each type of land will
find its destiny. When designing
a large garden, it may turn out that we will need additional ground transport
to shape the terrain and realize the architect's intention. Therefore, before we decide to hand
over or remove the land from the excavation, let's see what may apply.
Assessment of the
condition of the land
The land from the
excavations may be partially fertile, but most often it is sandy, contains
stones, clods, often debris, gravel and rubbish. There will be different soil on
different decks. It is worth
selecting his lots and using them in different places, depending on the needs. The top layer of the substrate on the
green area is the most fertile humus soil. Its
thickness is about 30 cm . It's
best to slide the plowper onto the pile before the construction works begin. If it is contaminated with waste, we
must first rake and remove it. A
handful of purified earth is worth crushing to assess its quality. When it disintegrates, it means that
it is sandy, when it can be formed it is fertile. Sandy
will be useful on wet and peaty terrain, fertile will be ideal for creating
green arrangements and setting up a lawn. This
is the most valuable part of the excavation.
Soil contaminated, gray,
full of clods is usually soil necrosis, which is not suitable for plants, but
it is useful for a different purpose.
Soil necrosis
The soil located beneath
the valuable humus layer is barren and will not be useful for cultivation, but
it will be perfect for the formation of slopes for the terrace, hills and
rockeries. The embankments made
of it will shield from the wind or block off a busy street. They will also help to eliminate large
differences in levels and unattractive disproportions on the area, which is not
very effective in this respect. If
the necrosis has a clay structure, it will perform as a substrate layer to
create a pond. To make even grass
grow on the arid ground of the arid ground, a radical improvement of its
quality and land reclamation is necessary.You can fertilize the fertile soil or
refine the ground from the excavation, using large amounts of compost, manure
or green fertilizers. You will
need to dig a field, oxygenate and possibly weed out. Plant nutrients will also be
necessary.
Gravel, stones and
debris
Layers of earth from the
excavation containing fossils or debris will be perfect for hardening the
terrain. They will be useful
during the construction of a terrace on the ground, driveway, garden paths,
construction of a fence, or laying foundations for small garden architecture. They are perfect raw materials for
various types of foundation. Gravel,
stones and debris are also materials needed to create drainage on the property
and drainage for plants. They
will be especially grateful for mountain varieties that need such a substrate
for healthy growth. On wet
terrain, these materials will allow to create an absorbent well, ie filled
with, for example, rubble down, collecting groundwater. It will also be used on other
properties, as it is useful for quickly draining rainwater from a gutter system
and surface.
In addition, debris will
help you realize your dreams about hills, because its fragments with sharp
edges clinch each other, prevent slopes escarpment. On the other hand, stones or gravel
will allow you to level the terrain, especially damaged by heavy construction
equipment. It is enough to cover
such a devastated surface with a surface or ground in a place where a lawn is
to be created.
