Excavation Company + Contractor Near Me Muskoka

Excavation may not be the most exciting part of building a home, but it is incredibly important!

Before you can start the process of building your new home or cottage, you need a solid foundation. And that’s where the Forest Hill Fine Homes team comes in. We’re an excavation company based in the Muskokas who can make sure your plot of land is ready to accommodate a home.

The Excavation Process:

Excavation works in tandem with other services we offer, such as lot clearing and demolitions. During an excavation project we’ll first start by staking out the designated area so we know what parameters we’re working within, and then move onto clearing the land of shrubs and other debris. If demolition work is required, it’ll take place at this stage. Once the clearing work is completed we can then move into the actual excavation, which involves removing topsoil, earth, and rock to form a cavity in the ground.

When it comes to your residential newbuild, you’re probably in the market for an excavation contractor nearby because you’re putting in a basement or need trenches dug out for pipelines and sewer systems. We’re happy to report that we are experts in dealing with both. We’ll make sure your land has been properly excavated so you can start building your home.

Tools Used During Excavations:

Excavation work typically requires heavy equipment machines like dumptrucks, bulldozers, and backhoes. If you’re located in a rocky area, explosives may be needed.

Land Prep Doesn’t Just End at Excavation:

You should speak to a professional about whether or not your property needs to be graded. When you work with us, we’ll let you know if it’s advisable once we have excavated your land.

The science of grading concerns itself with the slope of the earth around your home. You may need your home to be graded so the ground can be level and/or so you can avoid future water damage by sloping the ground away from your home. Once this final step is over, your property is officially ready for the construction work to begin on your house or cottage.

Dredging:

We’ve mainly talked about excavation in terms of construction newbuilds, but it can also be used for another important function when it comes to your waterfront property: dredging. Using a dredge, we can reinforce your shoreline, reduce the effects of erosion on your shoreline, and/or stop uncontrolled plant growth that makes it impossible for you to enjoy the waters around your property.

The Forest Hill Fine Homes Difference:

At Forest Hill Fine Homes we have complete control over the construction process. In addition to building houses and cottages from the ground up, we complete our own in-house demolitions and excavations. When you choose us, you don’t have to shop around for specific services: we cover everything from start to finish so we can ensure your project is completed on-time and on-budget.
