We provide comprehensive excavation services in Ottawa, handling everything from small residential digs to large commercial site preparation.

Our approach is straightforward and confident: we deploy skilled operators and well-maintained equipment to get the job done with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.

Our Excavation Capabilities:

Foundations & Basements

Digging out foundations for new homes, extensions, or buildings. We excavate basements to precise dimensions, ensuring your construction starts on level, solid ground.

Trenching & Utilities

Expert trench excavation for water lines, sewage pipes, electrical conduits, and septic system components. We understand the importance of accurate trenching and maintain strict safety around existing utilities.

Site Grading & Clearing

Complete site preparation including lot clearing, leveling, and grading for landscaping or construction. We remove debris, rocks, and soil as needed to create a clean slate for your project.

Drainage & Culverts

Installation of drainage systems, culverts, and ditch excavation to manage water flow on your property. Proper excavation for drainage protects your investment by preventing water damage and erosion.

Backfilling & Compacting

After installation work is done, we backfill excavated areas and compact soil to secure your foundations, trenches, or tanks. This ensures long-term stability and safety.

Streamline Your Excavation Project.

Pair your excavation work with Cedarview’s dump truck rentals to efficiently haul away soil, debris, and aggregates — saving time and resources on-site.

Equipped with machinery for every scenario.

From a nimble mini-excavator ideal for tight residential spaces, to a heavy 20-ton excavator for major earthworks, we tackle projects of all sizes. Our team plans each excavation with care: we obtain necessary locates and permits, adhere to Ottawa’s regulations, and take measures to minimize environmental impact (such as controlling sediment runoff and preserving surrounding structures).
