Fence-line prep
Clear brush, remove old fence lines, and grade to a workable elevation before install.
Service
Excavation Services
Mini-excavator work for fence lines, post holes, drainage trenching, and site prep across the Fraser Valley.
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.
What you get
- Mini-excavator (fits through 4-ft gates)

Common applications
Post holes on tough sites
Rocky, clay, and root-bound ground drilled or dug clean so the fence posts land plumb.
Drainage trenching
French drain and downspout trenching to keep fence lines and gates from sitting in water.
