Projects

I am please to share with you a few of the projects I have completed.

Residential Driveway Prep

With my Bobcat E35 excavator I was able to provide my client with the correct slope for drainage as I prepared his property for a concrete driveway and sidewalk.  

Garden Rock Wall

The same client wanted flower bed made with the flat rock he had picked out from a local rock quarry.  I hauled the rock for him using my haul truck.  I then prepared the area using a laser level to ensure the rock wall would be plumb level.  The ground was compacted using a plate tamper to ensure stability of the wall.   

Land Clearing for an Indoor Riding Arena

For this client I cleared a parcel of land which was 100 feet wide by 200 feet long.  I put in a road to reach the location.  This job involved push falling around 60 trees, clearing all stumps and debris into separate piles.  Using my Bobcat E35 excavator and a laser level, I levelled and graded the land for correct drainage and to meet site-specific elevation requirements

 The client will be building an indoor riding arena in this location.

Preparing for Concrete Driveway and Sidewalk

The client needed his yard levelled and prepared for a driveway and sidewalk to be installed.  I excavated and hauled away the organic material in my dump truck to create an area for a driveway.  I also carefully excavated along side his house to prepare the area for a concrete side walk to be installed.  The whole area was levelled to the required grade for proper drainage, away from the house and crush was spread out using my E35 excavator.    

Residential Landscaping

This landscaping projected included a lot of levelling and rock work.  The back of the yard required a drainage ditch so we dug down and laid drain tile then landscape fabric.  It was top off with 4 inch minus rock to complete the look the client wanted.  This project also included rock steps and flat rock along the fence. Top soil was spread for grass to be planted.  

BackYard Revamp

This back yard required the removal of a retaining wall and re-sloping.  We excavated out old fill and replaced it with top soil.  Yard was levelled and prepped for sod for client.
