Precision earthwork, lot grading, and site preparation done right the first time. Every cut, every grade — built on accuracy and delivered on schedule.
The Service
Excavation and grading is the foundation of every successful construction project. Before anything can be built, the land must be properly prepared — soil removed, terrain levelled, and grades set to ensure water drains correctly away from structures. Poor excavation leads to settling foundations, flooding basements, and costly repairs for years to come.
At KD Excavating, we use modern, well-maintained heavy equipment to achieve precise grades every time. Whether you're building a new home, adding a driveway, developing a commercial lot, or installing drainage infrastructure, our team delivers the exact results your project demands — on time and on budget.

FAQ
How long does excavation take?
Most residential excavation projects take 1–3 days depending on scope and soil conditions. Larger commercial sites may take longer — we provide a detailed schedule before starting.
Do I need a permit?
Some excavation work requires a permit from the City of Ottawa. We advise you on requirements and coordinate approvals before any work begins.
What happens to excavated soil?
Excess soil can be removed from site, used as backfill elsewhere on your property, or stockpiled per your preference. We discuss all disposal options upfront.
