Your project in the canton of Basel-Landschaft
Basel-Landschaft largely surrounds the city of Basel and extends towards the hills of the Tabular Jura. The municipalities near the border, such as Allschwil, Binningen, Muttenz and Pratteln, are densely built, with apartment blocks, business areas and terraced houses. Further south, Liestal has kept a compact old town, while Sissach and the villages of the Ergolz valley retain a rural character, with farmhouses and cherry orchards. Post-war houses and those from the following decades are common and are often due for energy upgrades or new kitchens and bathrooms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can still describe your project in English. For alterations affecting the outside of a building, check with your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, together with delivery arrangements in the village street or residential area.
- For a post-war house, describe the current condition of the heating and windows.
- In a densely built municipality such as Allschwil or Binningen, mention the parking options in front of the building.
- For a former farmhouse, describe which parts are to be converted and which are to stay as they are.
Earthworks in the canton of Basel-Landschaft
In Basel-Landschaft, the villages of the Ergolz valley and localities next to the city on the Rhine, such as Allschwil, offer a mix of terraced houses, older villas and recent housing estates. Earthworks there often involve basement extensions, parking spaces, connection trenches or terraced gardens. Around Liestal and on the heights of the Tabular Jura, the limestone and marl subsoil calls for a close look at slope stability. Swelling clays found in places react to the seasons and justify careful drainage around the foundations. To remove material or change the level of the garden, ask your municipality about any necessary steps.
- In a row of terraced houses, inform your neighbours of the planned excavation and ask the company to record the condition of their walls.
- If your land is terraced, ask how temporary embankments will be held in place during the works.

Frequently asked questions
Which details support an excavation request in Basel-Landschaft?
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.
