Excavation Service Areas Across the Alberni Valley

Digging on a tight town lot is very different from working on a broad rural property. In town, access is often narrow, with tight property lines, overhead wires, low fences, and paved driveways that need extra care. We bring in compact machines that can squeeze past houses without scuffing walls or cracking nearby concrete. Spoil space is limited on small town lots, so dirt and rock often must go straight into a truck and leave the site right away. Drainage in town usually ties into underground storm pipes, requiring precise shallow ditches and careful grading. On a rural lot, we have room to bring in larger excavators and heavy dump trucks. We can stockpile topsoil and subsoil in separate piles across the field for later use in gardens or berms. Rural drainage relies more on broad ditches, swales, and natural slope to direct runoff away from buildings. Whether your land sits on a narrow town street or out in the open woods, we choose the right machine scale and site setup to handle tight spaces, protect nearby structures, and manage soil and water properly from start to finish.

We start every job across our four service areas with a free site visit, a written quote, and a BC 1 Call locate before digging. A locate holds for 30 days once it comes back. Work has to start within 14 days of the request. We quote haul-off and disposal separately from machine time. You see exactly what each part of the job costs.
