How the Process of Deep Ripping Works

When people think of dirt or soil, they usually picture a soft, dark substance that is easy to dig out or pile up. While this soil may exist in particularly well-fertilized gardens, the dirt that lays beneath many houses, businesses, garages, driveways, and other high traffic areas is often literally as hard as rock. The only way to remove the extremely compacted soil sheet of soil is by using an intensive technique known as “deep ripping” or “deep tillage.”   

This strategy involves using heavy-duty equipment like backhoes or excavators to pierce through the packed dirt, shattering the initial surface and then breaking apart the hardpan. Although the method of deep ripping is quite effective, it requires not only powerful digging machinery, but skilled technicians to operate these large vehicles. Speak to our techs at Peter Ellis Construction to learn more about arranging for these crucial operations.
