The Earth Works
Earthworks refer to the process of shaping and modifying the land's surface, usually for construction, agriculture, or infrastructure projects. This involves moving, excavating, filling, and grading soil, rocks, or other materials to create stable foundations, level sites, or specific landforms. Common activities include digging for basements, creating roads, or building embankments. Earthworks require careful planning to ensure environmental protection and structural stability. They are essential in transforming natural landscapes to accommodate human development while maintaining safety and functionality.
