Professional Excavation for Residential & Commercial Projects
Excavation is more than just digging—it requires engineering knowledge, soil understanding, precision planning, and deep experience. We bring all these elements together to deliver excavation services that protect your property and lay a strong foundation for future construction.
Safe and Controlled Digging
Every excavation project starts with a site study. We locate underground utilities, evaluate soil type, and plan access routes to prevent damages. Our operators use advanced equipment to ensure clean, controlled cuts and stable excavation walls.
Land Clearing and Site Preparation
Before construction can begin, we prepare your land properly. This includes:
Clearing vegetation
Removing debris
Grading uneven ground
Preparing a level building surface
A well-prepared site saves time, reduces future structural issues, and ensures a stable foundation.
Foundation Excavation
We specialise in foundation excavation for:
Extensions
Garages
Additions
Commercial structures
Our team follows engineering-approved dimensions to guarantee accuracy so that your foundation is laid perfectly.
Types of Excavation We Offer
Trenching
Trenching is essential for installing utilities such as:
Water and sewer lines
Electrical cables
Drainage systems
We maintain strict trench stability to ensure safety and prevent collapses.
Grading and Leveling
Proper grading protects your home from water damage. Our grading services include:
Sloping the land away from the foundation
Ensuring correct elevation
Creating smooth, even surfaces for driveways or landscaping
Good grading prevents long-term moisture problems, especially in older Montreal homes.
Backfilling
Once utility work or foundation construction is complete, we offer professional backfilling using the right materials to ensure structural stability. This can include gravel, sand, and soil compaction with heavy machinery.
