A successful project starts below grade. Whether you are building a home, preparing a farm site, planning a commercial project, or coordinating the next phase of construction, you need excavation work that accounts for the property in its current state and what comes next.

BARDOWN Excavation provides dependable excavation services across Central Alberta, backed by detailed planning. We take the time to understand your site and create a plan that supports your project from the ground up.

Page Summary

  • Services include foundation excavation, utility trenching, septic, drainage, and pond preparation.

Excavation Starts With a Clear Plan

A lot can go wrong when excavation isn't planned properly. The wrong depth, a drainage problem, an unexpected site condition, or an unclear scope can slow down the project and cost everyone time and money.

BARDOWN’s ownership is directly involved in reviewing the project, completing the work, and communicating with you throughout the job. We keep in mind that the excavation work that we execute will impact the success of the next stage of your construction project.

Our Excavation Services

Utility Preparation & Trenching

Utility work needs room to be done right. We dig and prepare trenches for water, sewer, electrical, gas, and other required services, so your installer arrives at a site that's ready to go.

Septic System Preparation

We prepare your site for septic system installation by following the provided plan and ensuring the excavation is complete before the septic contractor steps in to finish the work.

Pond & Waterway Preparation

If you’re planning a pond, improving a waterway, or working on land that needs better water management, we complete the excavation and site preparation so the next stage of your project can move forward.

Foundation & Building Excavation

If you're building a residential development, an agricultural building, or a commercial structure, BARDOWN excavates your site to match the plan and set up the work that follows.

We can prepare excavation for:

  • Residential foundations
  • Basements
  • Garages and shops
  • Agricultural buildings
  • Commercial buildings
  • Additions and outbuildings

Drainage Preparation

Water that has nowhere to go around buildings, yards, farm operations, and access points creates problems. BARDOWN excavates and prepares the land for drainage solutions based on your site plan and what the property actually needs.

When You Excavate With BARDOWN

1

Start With a Conversation

Tell us about your project: what you're building and where the property is. We'll talk through the scope and figure out a way to move ahead.

2

Review the Site and Scope

When it makes sense, our ownership visits the property to walk the site and understand the conditions on the ground so we can develop a clear plan. This step saves a lot of headaches later.

3

Get a Clear Estimate

You'll get an estimate based on a defined scope of work. If something changes during the job, we'll explain what came up, walk through the options, and check in with you before moving forward.
