How much does excavation cost in the GTA?

Costs vary by project size, depth, access, and soil conditions. Small residential jobs typically start around $1,500–$3,000; large commercial projects are quoted on-site.

How quickly can you start a project?

Most residential jobs can begin within 3–7 days of quote acceptance. Emergency excavation and repair service is also available.

Do you work in tight or narrow access areas?

Yes — our mini-excavator services are designed for tight backyards, narrow side lots, and confined work areas where larger machines cannot fit.

What is the difference between excavation and grading?

Excavation removes earth to create holes or trenches (for foundations, pools, utilities). Grading shapes and levels the soil surface for drainage, foundations, or landscaping. We do both.
