BUILT FOR COTTAGE COUNTRY

Every property asks for a different approach.

Around Halls Lake, Big Hawk Lake and Little Hawk Lake, granite, slopes, water movement and restricted access shape the work. Good excavation and drainage work begins by understanding the property before the machine starts.

EXCAVATION - SITE PREPARATION

Excavated and graded cottage site with a compacted gravel base for a storage shed in Algonquin Highlands.

Excavation & Site Preparation

We shape and prepare cottage properties for new structures, access and other improvements. Work may include clearing, excavation, grading and compacted aggregate bases. This portable storage shed site required reshaping the land and building a stable, well-drained aggregate base.

Septic System Installations & Upgrades

We provide licensed septic installation and excavation for cottage properties. Work may include new systems, tanks, pump chambers, connecting lines and system upgrades. This project required careful excavation through a confined property to connect the pump chamber to the septic tank.

DRAINAGE · WATER MANAGEMENT

French drain installed beside a cottage foundation to collect and divert water in Algonquin Highlands.

Drainage & Water Management

We manage surface water and groundwater to help protect cottage properties from drainage problems. Work may include Big O drainage pipe, French drains, grading and other methods of directing water away from foundations and problem areas. This project used a stone-covered drainage system to collect water beside the building and divert it safely away from the foundation.
