Site Preparation and Grading

We excavate driveways and parking lots to the correct depth, remove unsuitable material, and grade for proper drainage. Residential driveway projects require 18 inches of excavation to accommodate the gravel base necessary for Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles.


Our commitment to proper excavation and base preparation has produced driveways that have stood the test of time for over 30 years.
