Step 1 of 7 · Question 1 of 1

What needs excavating? (required)

A real person responds within 24 hours.

What’s included

This is the work itself, item by item. If your job does not need one of these, it is not on your estimate.

  • Locates before digging

    Utility locates are requested through Ontario One Call on every job, without exception.

  • Access and protection planning

    How the machine gets in, and what gets protected on the way.

  • Bulk excavation

    Digging for foundations, additions, pools and basements to the required depth and dimensions.

  • Trenching

    Service trenches for water, sewer, gas and electrical runs.

  • Shoring and trench safety

    Sides supported or sloped as the regulations require before anyone enters.

  • Grading and site preparation

    Rough and finish grading set to the drainage the site needs.

  • Spoil management

    Material stockpiled, reused on site where suitable, or hauled away.

  • Backfill and compaction

    Backfilled in lifts and compacted so the ground does not settle later.

  • Site restoration

    Driveways, lawn and beds reinstated where the machine had to work.

How it runs

Every job we take on follows the same sequence, from the first call to the walkthrough.

  1. Tell us about the site

    What needs digging, roughly how deep, and how a machine would get in.

  2. We call you back

    Within 24 hours, to check access, soil and the neighbours.

  3. Site visit and written estimate

    We look at the site and the route, and quote the scope in writing.

  4. Permits and locates

    Permits where required, and utility locates completed before any digging.

  5. Protection and set-up

    Access protected, silt control placed and the spoil area established.

  6. Excavation

    Dug to line and grade, with shoring or sloping as required.

  7. Backfill and restoration

    Backfilled and compacted, and the site restored and cleared.

That is the whole job. Tell us about yours and we will price it — a real person calls you back within 24 hours.
