Site prep & grading

From the first cut to the final broom sweep, we put a site into shape. We clear, rough-grade and finish-grade for new builds, additions, garages, sheds and landscaping work — and leave the pad clean for the next trade.

  • Brush and tree clearing
  • Rough grade to plan and survey
  • Final grade for slabs, drives, lawns
  • Drainage swales and slope correction

Foundations

Excavation and backfill for residential and small commercial foundations. We dig to plan, plumb and level, and leave a clean, inspected-ready footings pad for your carpenter.

  • Footings excavation to spec
  • Walkout and daylight basements
  • Backfill and compaction
  • Coordination with your surveyor

Septic systems

Tanks, beds and full installs for residential and small commercial septic. We work alongside your engineer and the local health unit so the system passes inspection the first time.

  • Beds, trenches and weeping beds
  • Tank and pump chamber installation
  • Site evaluation and design assist
  • Final grading and surface restoration

Driveways & lot clearing

New driveway construction, long-lane grading and rural lot clearing. We cut the bank, lay the base, install culverts and finish with gravel — built to handle septic trucks, fuel deliveries and the rest of rural life.

  • Driveway layout and culvert sizing
  • Cut, fill and base prep
  • Granular A and final gravel lift
  • Shoreline clearance and bank work

Demolition & tear-out

Small-structure and outbuilding demolition, plus slab, asphalt and concrete removal. We haul it away and leave a clean, level lot ready for the next use.

  • Sheds, barns, small structures
  • Slab and asphalt break-up
  • Haul-away and disposal
  • Backfill and final grade

Trenching & utilities

Trench for water service, sewer, gas, electrical, drainage and communications. Spoil stays contained, backfill gets compacted, and the surface is restored as close to original as we can manage.

  • Water and sewer service trenches
  • Gas, hydro, comms runs
  • Foundation and perimeter drainage
  • Surface restoration — lawn, gravel, asphalt
