Commercial Excavation

Commercial excavation projects can be much more complex and challenging than a normal residential excavation project. They demand a great deal of attention to detail. Our team has provided excavation services for a variety of commercial projects including large scale warehouses, retail outlets such as malls, industrial buildings, and a range of other types and sizes of properties over the years.

Residential Excavation

We love to be part of the process of building a new home. We get called in to excavate and grade land for a range of new residential construction projects, including houses, multi-plex dwellings and apartment buildings to name a few. We also have the equipment for smaller residential jobs such as for landscaping, bringing utilities from the street to the house, extensions for additions, and more.

Pre-Construction

A solid house is built on a solid foundation. Excavation and grading are an important part of the pre-construction phase of a new construction project. We take our role at this stage of any new construction project very seriously. From land clearing to leveling and shoring up, our team manages every aspect of what is required to get the job done.

Clearing and Demolishing

It’s rare that a piece of land you want to build on is going to come naturally prepared for you. When thinking of developing a parcel of land into something that you can build solid structures on, like homes or shops, take a close look at the terrain. How much needs to be flatted and leveled? How many trees and thick vegetation needs to be cleared? Or there may be existing structures that you want removed.  

This all needs to be addressed before construction can begin. The experience of our land clearing and demolition contractors is the solution to what you need. They’ll transform the space into the perfect working conditions for you quickly and efficiently.

Excavating and Grading

The processes of excavating and grading go hand-in-hand when it comes to preparing land for most purposes you may have in mind. Excavation is the first step with the redistribution or removal of rocks, earth and other things in order to clear the area to be built on is ready for grading. The purpose of this process is to level out the surface and ensure there a strong, flat and even foundation to begin building on.

Drainage and Utilities

More and more rural or not so well serviced properties are now able to connect to the grid. This could be for underground utility services such as electric cables, gas lines, plumbing and water, for example, and you need to have the earth dug up in order to lay the infrastructure to the house from the street. We have the right sized equipment for jobs with limited space to work in, so pretty much no matter your situation, we can provide a solution.



When one searches for the term “landscaping” in the dictionary, it essentially states that it is a process of altering or reshaping land to enhance it the way one would want it to be. This would include the addition of trees, shrubs, bushes, plants and flowers. But is has to start somewhere else before the process of planting begins.

When you look up “excavation meaning in history”, it is essentially an age-old process of creating a hole in the earth by cutting, digging, or scooping. It really is a symbiotic relationship between two very different methods coming together to achieve a mutual end goal – an altered landscape.

This is where we step in. We think that our excavation work falls somewhere in between the two. In the region we live in, land doesn’t come naturally ready for building on. Vancouver Island is called the “Rock” for a very good reason. In many cases in order to prepare the land for a construction project of any kind or size, blasting, digging, and removing massive amounts of earth and rock, and other debris is a requirement.

Our excavation construction includes residential, commercial, and municipal projects. In the pre-construction stage, they all share the same basic needs, which is to ensure that the land is ready for a build. In all cases, once we’ve cleared the land of unwanted materials, then we will level land by grading it. This gets the land ready for the next step which is to then dig support trench walls to prep the site for the pouring of concrete for the foundation.

At that point we’ve done our job and have altered the outdoor space to the point where now it’s time for the construction phase, followed by the landscaping specialists coming in to design gardens and other outdoor living components of a yard.
