Dirt removal, trenching and backfill

Dirt removal and hauling

Leftover dirt from a garden, a dig-out or an old project takes up the yard. We load it with a machine and haul it away in our own dump truck.

Tell us roughly how much there is. A photo of the pile is the fastest way to a price.

Trenching

We dig straight, clean trenches to the depth the job needs, with a mini excavator for tight yards and a bigger machine for long runs.

Common reasons homeowners call us are a new power or gas line to a shop, an irrigation line, or a trench for a fence or wall footing. The trade who installs the line tells us the depth they need.

Backfill and compaction

Filling a trench back in is where most sunken lawns start. We put the material back in layers and pack each one, so the ground stays level after the first rain and the first winter.

If the dug-out material is poor, we can bring in better fill and haul the old stuff away in the same trip.

Small digging jobs

• Hole for a hot tub pad, shed base or playhouse
• Digging out a patch of yard for new soil or gravel
• Taking out an old walkway base or a buried slab edge
• Clearing a dirt pile left by another contractor

Before we dig

A BC One Call locate comes first on every dig, so buried power, gas and phone lines are marked before the bucket goes in.
