Residential Property Excavation + Site Services

Your property doesn't need to be a construction site to need excavation. Drainage problems, an aging septic system, a new driveway, an addition or changes to the landscape can all require careful work around an established home.

Excavation + Septic Services for Residential Properties in the Fraser Valley

With over 21 years of excavation experience, we understand that working around an existing home is very different from working on an open construction site.

Driveways, landscaping, underground utilities, neighbouring properties, fences and existing structures all need to be considered. We plan the work around the property that's already there while keeping unnecessary disturbance to a minimum.

Our Residential Property Process

1. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT

We begin by looking at the work you need completed along with access, existing structures, landscaping, grades, drainage and underground infrastructure.

2. PROJECT PLANNING

We determine the excavation requirements, equipment access, material handling and any site-specific considerations before work begins.

3. SITE PREPARATION

Where required, the work area is prepared and access is established while considering the portions of the property that need to remain undisturbed.

4. EXCAVATION + SITE WORK

We complete the required excavation, septic, drainage, grading or other site work with careful attention to the surrounding property.

5. BACKFILLING + COMPLETION

Once the primary work is finished, disturbed areas are backfilled and graded as required, leaving the property ready for landscaping, construction or continued use.

Common Residential Property Projects

Properties change over time, and the ground around them often needs to change too.

Septic replacements + Repairs

Drainage + Wet yards

Additions + Renovations

Driveways + Access

Garages + Accessory Buildings

Utility Installation + Trenching

Grading + Property Improvements

Demolition + Redevelopment

From a focused excavation project to work involving several parts of the property, we can help determine a practical way forward.

Residential excavation often happens close to homes, driveways and existing features. Experienced operation allows us to work carefully within tighter spaces and site constraints.

Certified ROWP

As a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner, we provide professional septic design and installation for residential properties requiring onsite wastewater systems.

Excavation + Septic

Many Fraser Valley homes rely on onsite wastewater systems. Our excavation and septic experience allows us to handle both the system itself and the earthwork required around it.

Drainage Experience

Water around an existing home can create ongoing problems. We assess grades, runoff and site conditions before determining an appropriate drainage approach.

Professional Equipment

Different residential projects require different equipment. We use professional excavation equipment suited to both larger site work and more precise excavation around established properties.

Multiple Services

When a project involves excavation, septic, drainage, grading, clearing or demolition, we can often handle multiple components without requiring separate excavation contractors.
