Our Process

  1. Site Inspection
    We evaluate soil conditions, drainage, and structural requirements.

  2. Material Selection
    Use of high-quality aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed stone) tailored for strength and drainage, paralleling Ottawa-area best practices

  3. Controlled Placement & Compaction
    Layered backfill with specified compaction—ensuring optimal density, surface stability, and frost protection.

  4. Final Inspection & Grading
    We check proper compaction (compaction tests if required), fine-grade the surface, and prep the site for finishing work (e.g. paving, landscaping, foundation installation).
