Our Services
Excavation Services for Contractors
Across Ontario
The dig that everything else is built on.
Foundation Excavation
Foundation excavation is our core service and our strongest discipline. We work directly with builders, structural engineers, and general contractors to deliver precise, on-schedule digs for new homes, commercial buildings, and infill projects across the GTA. Our operators read soil conditions, respect engineered specs, and stay on schedule so the rest of your build can proceed without delays. From shallow footings on tight urban lots to deep commercial foundations on industrial pads, we bring 30+ years of hands-on experience to every job site. Every dig is set up clean for formwork, concrete, and waterproofing crews to follow.
- ◆Full residential and commercial foundation digs to engineer specifications
- ◆Strip footings, spread footings, and pad footings for any build type
- ◆Walkout, look-out, and full-depth basement configurations
- ◆Tight urban lots and infill construction projects
- ◆Soil condition assessment and shoring coordination as required
- ◆Coordination with formwork, concrete, and waterproofing crews

- ◆Hand-dig finishing and clean-out for tight tolerances
More space. Dug right the first time.
Basement Digging
Whether it's a brand-new full basement, a basement lowering for added headroom, or an underpinning project on an existing structure, we handle the dig with precision and care. We work around existing structures, utilities, and tight access points that other crews won't touch. Your structural engineer's dimensions are our target. No rounding, no guessing, no costly do-overs that push your timeline back. We coordinate directly with waterproofing, drainage, and concrete trades to keep the project moving from dig day through to backfill.
- ◆New basement excavations on residential and commercial lots
- ◆Basement lowering and underpinning for additional headroom
- ◆Walkout and side-entrance dig-outs
- ◆Tight access projects in urban infill neighbourhoods
- ◆Hand-dig finishing where machines can't reach

Below-grade garages. Above-grade results.
Garage Excavation
Below-grade and semi-underground garages require the same precision as a full foundation dig, sometimes more given the access constraints around existing homes and tight property lines. We handle excavation for detached garages, attached additions, and underground parking structures, including ramp cuts, retaining wall preparation, and drainage setup. Whether it's a single-car detached on a tight residential lot or a multi-bay underground parking garage on a commercial pad, we plan the dig around your access constraints and deliver to spec. Footings, floor slab prep, and drainage are all set up clean for the next trade.
- ◆Detached and attached residential garage excavations
- ◆Below-grade and semi-underground garage digs
- ◆Multi-bay underground commercial parking excavation
- ◆Ramp cut and driveway approach excavation
- ◆Footing and floor slab preparation
- ◆Retaining wall excavation and base prep
- ◆Drainage and waterproofing setup
- ◆Coordination with concrete, framing, and waterproofing crews
Clean digs. No damage to surrounding grade.
Pool Excavation
Pool excavation demands accuracy. A few inches off spec means a pool shell that doesn't fit, a contractor that's frustrated, and a client paying for the rework. Our operators have the experience to dig to pool contractor dimensions, work around existing landscaping and underground utilities, and leave the surrounding grade intact. We handle in-ground residential pools, commercial lap pools, hotel and resort installations, and custom designs with stepped depths and integrated spas. Equipment access is planned in advance so we can get in and out clean without tearing up your yard.
- ◆Residential in-ground pool excavation to contractor specs
- ◆Commercial, hotel, and resort pool digs
- ◆Custom pool shapes with stepped depths and integrated spas
- ◆Equipment access planning for tight backyard sites

- ◆Protection of existing landscaping, fencing, and hardscaping
From raw land to build-ready. Fast.
Site Preparation
Before any structure goes up, the site needs to be right. We handle the full scope of site prep: stripping and stockpiling topsoil, rough grading to civil plan, compacting subgrade to engineer spec, and coordinating with surveyors, civil engineers, and general contractors to hit the benchmarks that matter. Residential subdivisions, commercial pads, industrial sites, and institutional projects. We mobilize the equipment and crew to take raw land and deliver a build-ready site on schedule. Erosion and sediment control is set up before the first cut.
- ◆Topsoil stripping and on-site stockpiling
- ◆Subgrade preparation and compaction to engineer spec
- ◆Cut and fill operations to grade targets
- ◆Benchmark and elevation coordination with surveyors
- ◆Granular base placement and compaction
- ◆Large commercial, industrial, and institutional site prep
- ◆Residential subdivision pad preparation
- ◆Erosion and sediment control setup
Flat, sloped, or contoured. We grade it right.
Land Grading & Rough Grading
Proper grading protects your investment for years. Water needs to go somewhere, and that somewhere should be away from your foundation, not toward it. We provide rough grading for new subdivisions, commercial pads, and industrial sites, working from civil drainage plans and survey stakes so every lot is ready for the next trade. Whether you're prepping 50 lots in a new subdivision or correcting drainage on a single commercial property, we grade it right the first time. Driveways, laneways, and topsoil redistribution are all part of the package.
- ◆Rough grading for new subdivisions and lots
- ◆Commercial pad grading to civil drawings
- ◆Industrial site grading and pad preparation
- ◆Drainage slope correction and water management
- ◆Driveway and laneway grading

- ◆Survey stake coordination and elevation control
- ◆Erosion control during grading operations
The last pass before the landscapers arrive.
Final Grading & Regrading
Final grading is the finish line before landscaping, sodding, and fencing go in. We bring lots and yards to finished grade with tight tolerances, smooth transitions between hardscape and landscape, and correct drainage slopes that move water where it needs to go. We also regrade existing properties where drainage issues, settling, additions, or pool installations have disrupted the original grade. Clean lines, smooth transitions, and proper slopes, every time. The site is left ready for sod, seed, hardscaping, and fencing crews to take over.
- ◆Final grade to permit and landscape drawings
- ◆Smooth transitions between structures and lot
- ◆Regrading around additions, pools, and new structures

Underground infrastructure. Done safely.
Trenching & Utility Excavation
Utility trenching requires locates, precision, and care around existing infrastructure. We trench for water mains, sanitary and storm sewer lines, hydro conduits, gas service, and telecom runs across residential, commercial, and industrial sites. Every trench starts with Ontario One Call locates and ends with proper backfill, compaction, and restoration. Service upgrades on existing properties, new commercial site servicing, and full subdivision infrastructure. We handle the underground side of the build with the safety protocols and shoring expertise the work demands.

Controlled tear-downs. Clean sites.
Demolition
We handle residential and commercial demolitions with full debris removal, site cleanup, and post-demo grading. Every tear-down is planned for safe, controlled execution, protecting adjacent structures, utilities, and neighbouring properties throughout the process. We coordinate with utility shut-offs, abatement contractors where required, and waste disposal facilities to keep the project clean and compliant. When the debris is hauled and the dust settles, the site is graded flat and ready for the next phase, whether that's a new build, a parking lot, or a clean lot for sale.

Break it. Haul it. Done.
Concrete Removal & Breakage
Concrete removal is more than renting a jackhammer and hoping for the best. We break and haul slabs, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, foundations, and curbs at any scale. Our equipment handles volume: hydraulic breakers, excavator-mounted hammers, and skid steers for tight access work where larger machines won't fit. Whether it's a single residential driveway, a commercial parking lot, or a foundation wall demolition during a renovation, we clear the concrete fast, dispose of it properly through certified recyclers, and leave the site ready for whatever's next.
- ◆Concrete slab and floor breaking
- ◆Driveway, walkway, and sidewalk removal
- ◆Foundation wall demolition and removal
- ◆Retaining wall removal

Solid ground behind every foundation.
Backfilling & Soil Compaction
After foundation walls are up, backfilling needs to be done in lifts with proper compaction, not dumped all at once. We backfill with clean granular material, compact in controlled lifts to spec, and leave you with stable ground that won't settle and crack your foundation drainage, weeping tile, or interior slab down the road. Whether it's a residential foundation, utility trench, or commercial pad, we follow engineered backfill specs and coordinate material delivery so the work flows without delay. Compaction testing is documented for inspections.
- ◆Granular and engineered fill backfilling to spec

Raw land. Build-ready results.
Lot Clearing & Earthmoving
We transform overgrown, wooded, or debris-covered land into clean, level sites ready for construction. Trees, stumps, brush, and demolition debris are cleared and hauled off-site or processed on-site depending on volume. Large-scale earthmoving for subdivisions, commercial developments, and industrial parks is handled with the right equipment for the job: bulldozers, excavators, articulated trucks, and grinders for organic material. Whether it's a half-acre residential lot or a 50-acre commercial development, we deliver build-ready land on schedule.

Water management starts at grade.
Drainage Preparation
Poor drainage is the number one cause of foundation damage, flooded basements, and failed landscaping. We prepare drainage systems at the excavation stage: swales, catch basins, weeping tile beds, French drains, and lot grading designed to move water away from structures and toward proper municipal outlets. Working from civil drainage plans, we excavate, place granular bedding to spec, and coordinate with drainage engineers and plumbers to make sure the system works the day it's installed and decades after. Water goes where it should, every time.
