Looking to build a garage or tiny home? These monolithic slabs are a great alternative, cost wise, to a full footing and frost wall. Pouring your footing and floor slab at one time. If you’re looking for single level buildings and under 600 square foot these are a great option.

If this is something you’re looking to prep the ground for, don’t hesitate to contact us for an estimate. We prep for several of these slabs yearly and are very efficient in doing so.

We’re very fortunate that 1 - people trust in our experience and quality workmanship and 2 - we get to work for wonderful clients.

This is a recent driveway resurfacing. The original horseshoe driveway was overgrown and uneven but the base underneath it all was satisfactory material to build back up on. This is the key to a long lasting driveway.

You can make something look good at a surface level but without the appropriate material underneath the result will be a surface that will fail.

This is why we always take the extra steps or use the materials that may be needed to do it once and do it right, the first time, every time.

We had the opportunity recently to dig a well for a wonderful couple. This is a secondary garden use well that has produced a static level of 15 feet of water out of its 23.5 foot depth. Even though the water might never be consumed, we still have to follow the regulations for a dug well in the province. Here are some pictures of the process from top to bottom including the cement seal between the stone and fill. Take notice that there is no organic materials (grass, roots, topsoil) near the dig site and the finished grade is mounded around the crock to divert surface water away, this is paramount to ensuring clean, clear and safe to consume water.

If you’re looking for a dug well, septic installation or repair, foundation dug, or any excavation on your property don’t hesitate to contact us and let our nearly 20 years of experience work for you!
