Clearing and Demolishing

Land doesn’t come readily prepared for new constructions. If you buy a new tract of land, there’s a good chance that the terrain will be uneven and impossible to build on, or you might have huge areas of trees and vegetation that are getting in the way of the work you want completed. For those situations, our land clearing, grubbing, and demolition service is what you need. They’ll quickly get the space into a condition that’s useable for you.


Excavating and Grading

Excavating and grading land is a critically important process to make sure that it can be used for really any purpose that you have in mind. While excavation work involves the removal or redistribution of earth, rocks, and other materials, grading is the process where land is smoothed and levelled out using mechanical equipment. We can use these processes to get your land in any shape that you want.


Drainage and Utilities

While most of our excavation and grading work is completed for the impending construction of new buildings, roadways, and other structures, we’re also adept at leveraging these services to help with the preparation and laying of utilities infrastructure. Grading land also has considerable benefits for the drainage capacity of the space, and limits the likelihood of flooding massively.


Septic Tank Installation

Installing a septic tank system begins with assessments and the acquisition of the appropriate permits before any physical work can start. Once in place, our team comes in and excavates the field where the septic tank will be housed. After installation, we restore the ground and can discuss a maintenance schedule that you can implement in order to keep the environment healthy, getting the best performance out of our tank for many years to come

  • What do excavators do?

    Excavators are used in a variety of ways. They are able to perform some heavy lifting functions such as clearing land, moving earth, digging holes and trenches, moving boulders, and clearing earth in the mining process.

  • How does an excavator work?

    Excavators are made up of a bucket for digging or clearing, an arm that is attached between the bucket and a rotating cab for the operator, and a set of tracks to move on. The arm works on a hydraulic system, providing superior functionality for any excavation project.

  • Why do I need an excavator?

    If you need to clear and level some land, dig a trench or hole, move boulders around, then you require an excavator. The fastest and most efficient way to do any of the above is with an excavator. The superior lifting strength provided by the hydraulic drive and system can’t be matched. An experienced excavating professional is highly skilled in these tasks.

  • How much does it cost to hire an excavator?

    This will depend a bit on supply and demand. Excavating machines are expensive pieces of machinery. Research shows that operators make between $20 – 50 per hour, depending on experience. When we combine both costs, an average would be about $100 per hour and there is usually a minimum charge of so many hours required for the rental. For example a minimum charge of 6 hours at $100 per hour is a $600 charge.

  • Can I buy my own excavator and do the job myself?

    Yes, that is certainly a possibility. If the need is there, and the cost can be justified, it makes sense to buy your own excavator. There are 3 classifications based on The Association of Equipment Manufacturers – mini, midi, and standard (which is full-sized). It all depends on what use you have for an excavator.

  • Can tree stumps be removed with a mini excavator?

    Depending on the size and depth of the stump, yes in many cases you can use a mini excavator to remove tree stumps. There may be a need to use some specific attachment in cases where the stump is on the larger side, but the mini should have the power to do the job in almost all cases.
