What’s involved

Cut here, fill there, and make the two balance: that’s earth moving. The skill is in reading grades and knowing what the finished site has to do, whether that’s drain, hold a slab, or carry a driveway, before the first bucket goes in.

We rough-grade and finish-grade building sites, reshape yards, build up pads, and move material around the site or off it. Fill placed in compacted lifts behaves. Fill pushed into a pile and walked away from settles, and it cracks whatever sits on it.

FAQ

Common questions

Don’t see yours? Call (250) 575-6015 and we’ll talk it through.

Can you balance the dirt on site?

When the grades allow it, yes, and it saves trucking in both directions. When the site can’t absorb the cut we haul off, and when it’s short we bring in clean fill.

What’s the difference between rough and finish grade?

Rough grade shapes the site for construction. Finish grade is the last pass that sets final contours and drainage before landscaping. They’re separate visits for a reason: construction wrecks finish work.

Do you compact fill?

Any fill that will carry anything, yes, in lifts. Loose fill settles for years.
