Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA carries out earthworks in Anières for villas, extensions, swimming pools and outdoor landscaping. Topsoil stripping, bulk and strip excavation, service trenches, levelling, removal or storage of soil, compacted backfill and embankments are carried out with a digger or a mini digger depending on the access.
The context in Anières
On the left bank of the lake, between Corsier and Hermance, Anières combines an old village with lakeside properties and a slope where vines and crops alternate. The lanes serving the waterside plots are often narrow, which means deliveries must be organised carefully.
Excavation and foundations in Anières
Excavation for basements, raft slabs, foundations and swimming pools, with shoring if the depth requires it and management of excavation water.
The soil is removed or kept for backfill.
Trenches and services
Trenches for pipes, electricity, water and district heating, sand bedding, backfilling and compaction.
Existing services are located before digging.
Levelling and tight access
Levelling of land, embankments, terrace platforms, mini digger for gardens and enclosed courtyards.
Access and storage are settled during the visit.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Anières
How long do the earthworks for a villa in Anières take?
One to two weeks for the excavation of a house with a basement, depending on the ground and the access. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for earthworks in Anières?
Earthworks are part of the permit for the project they prepare. Simple garden levelling without construction does not require one, unless the natural ground is significantly changed. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Where does the soil go in Anières?
Good-quality soil is reused on site for backfill and the garden, the rest is taken to authorised landfill sites with the waste slips.
Can you work in an enclosed garden in Anières?
Yes, with a mini digger that fits through a gate less than one metre wide and protective mats for the lawn.
