Your project in the canton of Aargau
Lying between Zurich and Basel, Aargau is crossed by the Aare, the Reuss and the Limmat, with the Rhine forming its northern edge. Its small historic towns include Aarau, known for its painted eaves, Baden with its old town above the Limmat, as well as Lenzburg and Zofingen. Around these centres, many residential districts of detached houses, rental blocks and newer estates have grown up, particularly in the Freiamt and along the main transport routes. The canton is German-speaking, but you are welcome to write your request in English. In the old town centres, work on façades or roofs may be subject to rules, so check with your municipality before setting a schedule. Give the municipality, postcode and building access, especially for work in the old centres of Aarau or Baden.
- For a village house along the Aare or the Reuss, mention whether the cellar has ever had damp problems.
- In an old town such as Baden or Aarau, explain how easily a works vehicle can reach the building.
- If you live in a recent condominium building, state whether the other co-owners have already given their agreement.
Earthworks in the canton of Aargau
For earthworks in Aargau's Aare, Reuss or Limmat valleys, provide any available ground investigations and information about observed water. Before digging a cellar or an underground car park near Baden, it is worth knowing whether water is likely to appear at the bottom of the excavation. On the slopes of the Aargau Jura, by contrast, limestone can surface quickly and require a rock breaker. For a project around Aarau, describe the planned excavation, garage access or utility trench and the equipment access available. For removing spoil or altering the natural ground level, your municipality will tell you which steps to plan before you set your dates.
- Mention if your plot is near a watercourse, so the contractor can plan for pumping out the excavation from the outset.
- Ask whether some of the topsoil can stay on site for future garden landscaping rather than being taken away.

Frequently asked questions
Which details support an excavation request in Aargau?
Describe the intended area, depth and purpose, with available site or utility plans. Explain machine access, ground slopes and nearby buildings. Ask who will confirm buried service locations and assess the ground before excavation; do not dig to locate cables or pipes yourself.
What needs checking before digging on a plot?
Known services, boundaries, ground conditions and nearby structures need assessment before excavation. Provide available utility and site plans and identify any previous surveys. Ask who confirms service locations and the necessary site protections; do not begin exploratory digging around suspected cables or pipes yourself.
What should I compare in excavation contractor quotes?
Compare excavation, ground support, soil handling and any drainage or backfilling. Distinguish removal from storage on site, and ask how unsuitable or unexpected material is assessed. Machinery access, protecting nearby structures and reinstating agreed areas should appear in the same scope.
How should I prepare for the excavation contractor visit or work?
Provide plans and photographs showing access, slopes and neighbouring buildings. Identify places that must remain usable and any restrictions on vehicle movement. Agree material storage or removal routes before machinery arrives, leaving assessment of buried services and ground stability to the responsible specialists.
