Frequently Asked Questions

How much does excavation cost in Vaughan?

Vaughan excavation starts around $3,000–$8,000 for small jobs, $15,000–$35,000 for addition foundations, and $5,000–$15,000 for pools. Lots in Woodbridge, Maple or Kleinburg near valley lands may need extra shoring, quoted free.

Do you call Ontario One Call before digging in Vaughan?

Yes — before excavating anywhere in Vaughan we request Ontario One Call locates (1-800-400-2255). It’s legally required and prevents damage to buried gas, hydro and water infrastructure.

How long does excavation take in Vaughan?

Standard Vaughan foundation digs take 1–3 days and pools 1–2 days. Properties backing onto TRCA valleys or with limited access can take longer, which we outline in the quote.

What happens to the excavated soil in Vaughan?

Clean fill is reused on-site or hauled to an approved facility; contaminated soil is disposed of under regulation. We assess Vaughan sites, including valley-land setbacks, before digging.

Do you do underpinning in Vaughan?

Yes — we provide basement lowering by underpinning and bench-footing in Vaughan, arranged with structural engineer’s drawings and City of Vaughan permits.
