Excavation Services
Foundations, basements, footings, ponds and precision digs for residential and commercial sites.
Overview
Excavation sets the elevation, drainage and structural stability of everything you build afterward. Get it wrong and every trade that follows pays for it.
TJ Contracting handles residential and light commercial excavation across Frontenac, Lennox & Addington and Leeds & Grenville counties — foundations, basement digs, footing trenches, garage pads, pond excavation, stump removal, and precision digs on tight sites.
We arrive with the right size machine, keep the excavated soil piled neatly out of the way, protect your driveway, walkways and lawn, and leave a clean, square excavation that's ready to build in.
Benefits
- Dug to the exact depth and level, checked with laser equipment
- Mini and full-size excavators for tight lots or large sites
- Excavated soil handled carefully — no wrecked lawn beside the dig
- Buried utility lines located and marked before we dig
- Fully insured and WSIB covered on every job
Our Process
- 01
Site Consultation
We visit your property, walk the job with you, understand access, elevations, drainage and any obstacles, then confirm a scope you can plan around.
- 02
Written Estimate
You receive a clear, itemized quote — no surprise line items, no vague allowances. What's included and what isn't is spelled out in plain language.
- 03
Scheduling & Locates
We arrange to have buried utility lines — hydro, gas, water — located and marked, coordinate with any other trades on site, and lock in a start date that fits your timeline and the ground conditions.
- 04
Execution On-Site
Our crew shows up when we said we would, protects surrounding areas, and works efficiently with the right machine for the job.
- 05
Cleanup & Walk-Through
We restore the site, haul away debris, and walk the finished work with you before we invoice — so you sign off knowing the job is done right.
