Newmarket excavation typically starts at $3,000–$8,000 for small jobs, $15,000–$35,000 for addition foundations, and $5,000–$15,000 for pools. Low-lying lots near the Holland River may need extra dewatering, which we price up front for free.
Yes, every time. We book utility locates through Ontario One Call (1-800-400-2255) before excavating in Newmarket — a legal requirement that prevents strikes on buried gas, hydro and water services.
Most Newmarket foundation digs take 1–3 days and pool excavation 1–2 days. High water tables on some Newmarket properties can extend the schedule; we account for that in advance.
Clean fill is reused on-site for grading or trucked to an approved facility, while contaminated material is disposed of under regulation. We assess Newmarket soil conditions before starting.
