We provide a broad range of services in Kamloops and the North Okanagan

Commercial and Residential excavation is one of our specialties.

If you need trenching, foundation digging or back-filling, we can manage your project. We also offer land clearing, soil delivery and removal and utilities services. As part of our earth moving, excavating and construction services equipment, we have a dump truck on site for your hauling, filling, and waste removal needs.

We will dig your trenches for new water lines, excavate for tanks, backyard pools and garden ponds. We offer competitive rates on all our water and sewer replacement services.

Instant lawn sod placement is the perfect solution for new home builds to get your property on the market quickly, or a lawn that has seen too many Okanagan hot summers and needs to be replaced. Either way a great looking lawn is a feature selling point for many homes. You will be glad you had us come in to do the work for you!

Xeriscaping

Due to high season water shortages and rising costs, metered water systems are becoming popular. The amount of water a plant needs in the growing season is affected by soil type and whether or not it has been covered by mulch. We can excavate for ground contours, haul in your new plants and trees, and finish the project by hauling and spreading mulch.

Because of the physical geography of our region, many of our homes are built on slopes. One way to maximize and stabilize a sloping lot, is to excavate and contour the land into a flat zone and secure it with a retaining wall. We will excavate, haul material for, and build your retaining wall to expand your outdoor living space.

We have been performing heavy civil and structural work in the Interior for over 25 years, and we bring our full excavation fleet with us — so the deck, the joints, the abutments and the ground around them are all handled by one crew, on one schedule.

Our bridge services include concrete deck patching and spall repair; rebar exposure, treatment and replacement; crack sealing and epoxy injection; deck grinding, milling and profiling; deck drainage repair; expansion joint repair and replacement; approach slab and abutment repair; and guardrail, curb and barrier work. We service concrete structures as well as the timber decks common on forestry roads, ranch crossings and older rural bridges.

We also handle the surrounding ground work — embankment, riprap placement, culvert replacement, stream crossing restoration and access road repair — keeping your project under one contract.

All work is completed to municipal, MoTI and engineer-specified standards. We coordinate traffic control and staged closures to maintain access, and we reach remote and resource-road locations as a matter of routine.

Demolition Services Include:

• Residential and commercial building demolition
• Interior and selective demolition
• Concrete removal (driveways, pads, foundations)
• Garage, shed, and small structure teardown
• Safe debris removal and responsible disposal
• Site cleanup and preparation for rebuild

We follow all local safety and environmental regulations, using the right equipment and methods for a clean and controlled demolition every time.

Hauling Services for Equipment, Machinery & Materials

• Aggregate and material delivery (gravel, sand, soil, etc.)

Our fleet is well-equipped to handle both rough terrain and tight schedules, ensuring your loads arrive safely and on time.

Call us for details on damp proofing your foundation. Rainwater runoff can cause extensive property damage If you want to set up a rainwater harvesting system, we can manage the project for you. If the snow is piled up then suddenly melts, you could be facing a flood.

Commercial, industrial and strata work includes parking lot construction and resurfacing, condo and apartment complexes, retail plazas, industrial and equipment yards, loading docks and aprons, private and subdivision roads, patching and pothole repair, and line painting with accessible stall layout.

Every job includes site assessment and grade planning, excavation and removal, base preparation and compaction, drainage integration, hot mix asphalt placement, clean edge and transition finishing, and full site clean-up.

For commercial clients, we phase work to keep lots partly open and schedule after hours or on weekends where it suits your operation, so business continues while we build. For homeowners, we work to keep access available and the property tidy from the first day to the last.

On-site estimates are available throughout Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Merritt and surrounding communities.

Our asphalt services cover hot mix placement, pothole and full-depth patching, milling and grinding, asphalt removal and haul-away, speed bumps, transitions and tie-ins, and utility cut and trench restoration.

We work for homeowners, strata councils, property managers, builders, commercial and industrial owners and municipalities — residential slabs through full commercial lots.

Kamloops moves through freeze and thaw many times each season, so the details decide how long a surface lasts: correct control joint spacing and depth, the right mix for the exposure, positive drainage, proper base depth and sealed edges. We build those details in as standard, which is why our work still looks good for many years.

Ask us for an honest recommendation on which surface suits your site. We install both, so our advice follows your project.
