What we handle
We are the excavation and hardscape side of a pool project. The yard around the pool is the part most people underestimate.
Bedding and backfill
Backfill and compaction around the shell, so the ground beside it does not settle later.
Pool decks and patios
The paver or stone surround, set on a compacted base with fall so water runs away from the pool.

Walls and level changes
Where a pool goes into a slope, the retaining wall holding that cut is part of the same job.

The pool is easy to picture and hard to get to
Getting a machine to the back of a property, digging the hole, and getting the spoil out without tearing up the rest of the yard is most of the work.
Then the ground around the shell has to be backfilled and compacted properly, or the deck around it settles and cracks a season later.
- Access planned before the machine arrives, so the dig does not cost you the rest of the yard.
- Backfill compacted around the shell, so the surround does not settle and crack.
- Fall set away from the pool, so water runs off the deck instead of back into it.
We dig it, and we build what goes around it.

Reviews from across the Fraser Valley
We have hired this crew for various projects on our acreage. The latest project was an equestrian riding arena, which turned out excellent. They are always willing to take on tasks and challenges with great outcome. Their operators and labourers are hard-working and willing to put in the time to get a job done.
Great company 5/5. Owen and team are honest and hard working.
We always use them for our jobs. Easy to work with and very reliable.
Common questions
Do you install the pool itself?
We are the excavation and hardscape side of the project. The dig, the backfill, the deck and any retaining walls are ours, and we work alongside the pool installer on the shell.
Can you get a machine into a small back yard?
Usually. Mini excavators fit through a standard gate, and planning the access route before anything arrives is what stops a dig from costing you the rest of the yard.
When should the deck go in?
After the backfill around the shell has been compacted properly. Rushing that is the most common reason a pool surround settles and cracks in its first year.
