Our Excavation Services
We consider these factors for every job to ensure the work area is properly prepared. Our fleet of excavating equipment includes:
Excavators
Versatile machines designed for digging, trenching, foundation work, earth removal, and other demanding excavation tasks.
Loaders
Efficiently move, load, and transport soil, gravel, fill, and other materials around the job site. Loaders help streamline material handling during excavation, backfilling, and site preparation.
Bulldozers
Powerful equipment used for moving and spreading large quantities of soil, clearing work areas, and shaping or levelling terrain during site preparation and earthwork projects.
Dump trucks
Designed to transport and unload excavated soil, aggregate, construction materials, and other job-site materials efficiently, helping keep excavation and earthwork operations moving.
Skid steers
Compact and manoeuvrable machines ideal for working in tighter spaces. Skid steers can handle tasks such as material movement, grading, site cleanup, and general construction support.
And more
Our equipment fleet includes additional machinery and attachments to accommodate different project requirements.
We have an excavation method for every job. Our experienced operators work together to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Our team can handle big jobs and small ones for both residential and commercial projects. Give us a call today to request an estimate.

Backfilling and Site Restoration
Once construction, utility installation, or other underground work is complete, proper backfilling is just as important as the initial excavation.
Our backfilling work may include:
-
Placing suitable fill material around foundations, structures, and underground installations.
-
Filling completed utility trenches.
-
Spreading material in controlled layers.
-
Compacting fill to help minimize settlement.
-
Restoring excavated areas to the required grade.
-
Preparing surfaces for subsequent construction or landscaping work.
By taking care during both excavation and backfilling, we help create a more stable foundation for the next stage of your project in Ottawa.
