- Grading & site preparation — laser-accurate grades, base builds, and compaction.
- Excavation & trenching — utilities, footings, pads, drainage, and daylighting.
- Drainage solutions — swales, French drains, re-grading, and surface water control.
- Driveways, pads & access roads — aggregate supply, shaping, and compaction.

- Material delivery & haul-away — soils, rock, aggregate, and safe disposal of green waste/inert fill.
Land Clearing & Vegetation Management
Whether you’re opening up a view, reclaiming a yard, or preparing for a build, we clear efficiently while protecting desirable trees and features. Our services include mechanical brush cutting, hedge/shrub removal, selective tree removals, and fire-mitigation strategies to reduce fuel loads around structures. We schedule wood, chip, or green waste handling to keep the site organized and ready for the next phase.
Stump Grinding & Removals
Leftover stumps interfere with grading, fencing, hardscape, and new plantings. We grind stumps below grade or excavate and remove them entirely, then backfill, compact, and finish so the area is ready for sod, seed, or hardscape.
Precision Grading & Site Preparation
Good outcomes depend on good base work. We use compact and mid-size machines for tight access and efficient production, shaping sub-grades with attention to drainage, compaction, and final elevations. From patio bases and garage pads to large lawn areas and road approaches, our crews deliver smooth transitions and the correct materials in the right sequence.
Excavation & Trenching
We perform utility trenching (water, power, gas, communications), foundation and footing digs, daylighting, and service connections. If utilities are present, we coordinate BC 1 Call locates before digging and follow best practices to protect existing infrastructure. Need to tie drainage into a safe outfall or dry well? We’ll design a practical solution based on grade and soil conditions.
Drainage Improvements
Pooling water and freeze-thaw cycles can damage structures and surfaces. We correct grades, cut swales, install French drains and perimeter drains, and specify washed aggregates and geotextiles as needed. The result: drier lawns, longer-lasting hardscape, and fewer maintenance headaches.
Driveways, Pads & Access Roads
From temporary construction access to permanent driveways and parking pads, we build stable bases with the right aggregate and compaction. We can re-crown and re-sheet existing gravel drives, add culverts for cross-drainage, and install geotextiles where soils are soft to prevent rutting and deformation.
Erosion Control & Retaining Walls
Slopes and elevation changes are common in the Okanagan. We construct engineered and landscape retaining solutions that manage grade safely while expanding usable space. Proper base, drainage, and backfill keep walls straight and strong—paired with erosion controls like rip-rap, check dams, and vegetated swales where appropriate.
Material Delivery & Haul-Away
Our trucking team supplies and places topsoil, road crush, sand, drain rock, and decorative stone, then removes green waste, brush, and inert fill as needed. Combine delivery with installation for a clean, turnkey result—and fewer contractors to coordinate.
Permits, Locates & Safety
We help you navigate utility locates and, when required, municipal permitting for driveway access, tree removals, or significant grade changes. Crews follow a safety-first plan with clear site boundaries, spotters for tight areas, and regular tool and equipment checks.
Our Process
- Site visit & quote: We assess access, grades, utilities, volumes, and disposal needs, then provide a clear scope and price.
- Plan & schedule: We confirm materials, locates, and sequencing to minimize disruptions.
- Mobilize: Machines and materials arrive on time, with daily housekeeping to keep the site organized.
- Execute: Clearing, grading, excavation, and drainage completed to spec with progress updates.
- Wrap-up: Final grooming, haul-away, and walk-through—plus optional maintenance or next-phase construction.
Project Types We Support
- New home builds, additions, carriage homes, and garages.
- Acreage and farm access, utility corridors, and fire-smart cleanups.
- Subdivision prep, commercial pads, parking areas, and municipal projects.
- Backyard transformations—patios, lawns, gardens, and hardscape bases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle utility locates and permits?
Yes. We coordinate utility locates and can advise on permits for driveway access, tree removals, or substantial grade changes. We won’t dig until locates are complete.
Can you haul away debris and unsuitable soils?
Absolutely. Our trucking team removes green waste, brush, stumps, and inert fill, and can deliver replacement aggregates or soils the same day.
What equipment do you use for tight access?
Compact excavators, skid steers, and track machines with low ground pressure. We select machines that match your access, slope, and soil conditions.
How do you price land services?
Most projects are quoted by scope after a site visit. Some tasks (like trucking or hourly machine work) can be billed at time & materials with clear rate sheets.
