Backfill and grading in Edmonton that leaves a level, builder-ready lot.

We deliver clean fill, spread it in thin compacted lifts and rough grade the surface so water runs clear of the new footprint. One crew covers the hole, the fill and the final grade.

Backfill and Grading Jobs We Handle in Edmonton

Each job below ends with a lot that is level, compacted and safe to build on.

Basement Hole Backfill

We refill the old basement void with clean fill in shallow passes, compacting each one so the ground sits firm.

Footing Trench Fill

Trenches left by footing removal take granular fill, spread and compacted until the ground reads level underfoot.

Rough Grading and Lot Shaping

We shape the surface to a rough grade so water moves away from the future footprint and the lot drains.

Fill Delivery and Hauling

Clean fill arrives on our own trucks and spoil leaves the same day, keeping the lane clear.

Compaction in Lifts

A plate compactor runs over every layer, which limits later settlement so the finished grade holds.

Winter and Thaw Backfill

We time fill placement around frozen ground and spring thaw so the lot grades cleanly once conditions suit.

About us

Our crew works across Edmonton, from Glenora and Westmount through to Mill Woods and Riverbend.

We take out the basement, haul the rubble and put clean fill back in the same push, so your lot never sits open longer than it needs to.

Clean fill arrives on our own trucks and goes down in thin compacted lifts, with a plate.

In-house hauling

Own hauling keeps backfill costs below companies that rent bins.

Insured and covered

Full insurance and WCB Alberta coverage stand behind every lot we backfill.

Our own machines

Excavators, skid steers and plate compactors are ours, so the schedule holds.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply the fill for backfill?

Yes. Clean fill arrives on our own trucks and goes down in thin compacted lifts, so the surface stays firm. If your site holds suitable excavated material, we can talk about reusing it, which keeps the whole visit calm and well planned.

Will the lot drain properly after rough grading?

We shape a rough grade so water falls away from the future footprint and toward the lane. That keeps the surface working for the builder and keeps water clear of neighbouring lots. Engineered fill or final grading certificates sit with your designer or surveyor, so the next step is clear and easy to take.

Is the lot ready for my builder after backfill?

The hole is filled, compacted in lifts and rough graded, so the lot sits level and safe to work on. Your builder can then confirm footing layout and any engineered fill the design calls for. We hand over once the surface and the lane are clean, which keeps the work predictable from start to finish.

How much fill does a basement hole take?

Fill volume depends on the depth of the old basement, the thickness of the footings and how much concrete came out. We measure the void at the site visit and price the load count in writing, so you know the total before delivery.

Can you backfill and grade in winter?

Yes, with the right timing. Frozen ground and spring thaw change how fill settles, so we plan around the weather and compact each lift carefully. The lot still finishes level and ready for your builder once conditions suit.
