Foundations and Residential Digging

Work below and around the house, where depth, frost protection and soil support decide how well the structure performs.

Foundation Excavation

Foundation excavation for new homes, additions and garages, dug to frost-protected footing depth on a level, undisturbed base.

Basement Excavation and Lowering

Our basement excavation and lowering service digs new basements and lowers existing floors to gain ceiling height. This is excavation work, not basement finishing.

Shoring and Underpinning

Shoring and underpinning excavation supports deep digs beside existing structures and extends older foundations downward in staged sections.

Basement Walkouts and Separate Entrances

We dig out the grade for basement walkouts and separate entrances, including stairwells and the footings for retaining walls.

Pool Excavation

Inground pool excavation shaped to your pool builder's layout, with the soil hauled away or reused on site.

Post and Pole Hole Digging

Augered holes for deck footings, fences and pole barns through our post and pole hole digging service.

Site Preparation and Grading

Getting raw land ready to build on and shaping the ground so water drains where it should.

Site Preparation

Site preparation strips topsoil, cuts and fills to grade and builds the granular pad a new structure sits on.

Land Clearing

Our land clearing service removes trees, brush, stumps and roots to open up a lot for building or landscaping.

Grading and Levelling

Grading and levelling sets the slope of a yard or lot so rain and snowmelt run away from buildings.

Backfilling

Our backfilling service places and compacts material in lifts around foundations, trenches and tanks to prevent settling.

Trenching, Utilities and Septic

Trenches for the pipes and cables that serve a building, dug to the depth, slope and bedding each line needs.

Utility Trenching

Utility trenching for buried electrical, gas, communication and irrigation lines to homes, garages and outbuildings.

Sewer, Water and Storm Lines

New connections and replacements from the street to the house through our sewer, water and storm line excavation service.

Septic System Excavation

Septic system excavation for tanks, leaching beds and system replacements on rural properties.

Drainage and Erosion Control

Fixes for water problems in yards and basements, and protection for slopes and exposed soil.

Drainage Excavation and French Drains

Our drainage excavation service installs French drains, replaces weeping tile and sets culverts to move water off your property.

Erosion Control

Erosion control with silt fence, rip rap and erosion blankets keeps soil in place on slopes, banks and construction sites.

Demolition and Removal

Taking down what is no longer wanted and hauling it away so the site is ready for what comes next.

Demolition

Demolition of houses, garages, sheds and small commercial buildings, including foundation removal and debris hauling.

Concrete Breaking and Removal

Our concrete breaking and removal service clears old driveways, patios, slabs and footings.

Swimming Pool Removal

Swimming pool removal breaks out or fills in an old inground pool and leaves compacted ground ready for lawn.

Roads, Driveways and Parking Lots

Excavation and granular base work for anything that carries vehicles, built so the surface lasts.

Road Construction

Road construction for private lanes, rural roads and subdivision streets, from subgrade to compacted granular base.

Driveway Excavation and Preparation

Our driveway excavation and preparation service digs out old material and builds a compacted Granular A base ready for gravel, asphalt or pavers.

Parking Lot Construction

Parking lot construction for commercial and multi-unit properties, with grading and drainage planned across the whole lot.

Environmental and Equipment Services

Specialized digging for contaminated sites, plus operated compact machines for smaller jobs.

Environmental Excavation and Remediation

Environmental excavation and remediation removes contaminated soil and old oil tanks and manages excess soil under Ontario's rules.
