Fence-line prep
Clear brush, remove old fence lines, and grade to a workable elevation before install.
Service
Excavation contractor for Abbotsford & the Fraser Valley
Mini-excavator work for Abbotsford fence lines, post holes, drainage trenching and site preparation, with service across the Fraser Valley.
For an Abbotsford excavation enquiry, start with the property location, access width and the work you need. Fencing usually starts with digging. We run a compact excavator so we can get onto tight residential lots, dig clean post holes on rocky ground, trench in drainage, and grade the fence line before the crew shows up.

Frequently asked
Do you do excavation-only work?+
Yes — we're happy to price small excavation jobs that aren't tied to a fence install.
Do you locate utilities?+
We always call for a BC 1 Call locate before digging, and we work around marked lines.
Can you haul away the spoils?+
Yes, dump-run haul-away is quoted per load.
Planning excavation work in Abbotsford
Tell Luke whether the work is a fence-post line, a small excavation, trenching or preparation beside an existing structure. Send the Abbotsford site address, wide photographs of the approach and work area, approximate dimensions, and whether spoil needs to leave the property. Confirm the actual scope, equipment access and timing directly before booking.
Ground conditions and utility-location arrangements belong in the site review. Do not assume a photographed machine will fit your access or that an archive photograph records an Abbotsford job. Existing equipment photographs show LS Fencing’s work; individual locations are stated only where supplied.
