Serving the Fraser Valley
Helping your property work better, from the ground up.
No two acreages function exactly the same way. Buildings, driveways, septic systems, drainage and usable land all need to work together across a larger property.
Our acreage services include:
- Excavation
- Site preparation
- Land clearing
- Septic system design
- Septic installation + replacement
- Septic repairs
- Drainage solutions
- Grading + regrading
- Driveway excavation
- Driveway improvements
- Utility trenching
- Rock pits
- Building pad preparation
- Material removal
- Demolition
- Equipment moving
Whether the project involves one area of the property or several connected improvements, we consider how the work fits into the acreage as a whole.

Why Choose Kerkhoff Excavating + Septic?
21 Years of Experience
More than two decades of excavation experience gives us an understanding of the site conditions and practical challenges that come with larger Fraser Valley properties.
Excavation + Septic Experience
Many acreages rely on onsite wastewater systems. Our excavation and septic experience allows us to approach the property with both above-ground plans and underground infrastructure in mind.
Certified ROWP
As a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner, we can provide professional septic design and installation for acreage properties where appropriate.
Professional Equipment
We have excavation equipment suited to everything from precise trenching and drainage work to clearing, grading and larger site preparation projects.
Acreage Experience
Long access routes, outbuildings, private services, drainage and larger work areas create different considerations than a standard residential lot. We're comfortable working within those conditions.
One Contractor, Multiple Services
Excavation, septic, drainage, land clearing and demolition often overlap on acreage projects. We can complete multiple stages without requiring a different excavation contractor for each one.
Practical Planning
We look at what you're trying to accomplish with the property and plan the excavation around the way the acreage needs to function when the work is complete.
Acreage Improvements + New Construction
Rural property work isn’t limited to new construction. We can help with improvements to established acreages as well as undeveloped land.
Projects may include preparing a new home site, building a shop or garage, replacing a septic system, improving drainage, clearing overgrown areas, preparing driveway access or reshaping portions of the property. When several types of site work are required, we can help coordinate the excavation from the first cut through final grading.
