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.

21 Years of Experience
More than two decades of excavation experience gives us a practical understanding of residential sites, soil conditions, grades and the challenges of working around established properties.
Experienced Operators
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.

I highly recommend Kerkhoff Excavating. Herman installed our new septic system. Communication, pricing and timing were all excellent. He certainly exceeded our expectations.
Herman was excellent. He came over to look one day and was there the next. He did a great job. He has 20 years of experience and it shows. He had a lot of connections for other trades! It was a pleasure doing business with him and we will always recommend him and have him back for other excavating needs!! Thanks Herman!
