EARTHWORKS

"Earthworks" generally refer to any construction involving the manipulation of soil, rocks, and other materials on the Earth's surface. These projects can vary widely in scale and purpose, from small landscaping projects in a backyard to large-scale infrastructure developments like highways, dams, and land reclamation. The term encompasses a broad range of activities, including excavation, grading, compaction, and landscaping, all aimed at shaping the land to serve human needs or environmental goals.
