The Burnaby
contractor's contractor.
Burnaby GCs hire us when the project can't fail. Homeowners hire us when the project has to actually finish. We've earned both kinds of call by treating every job like our name is on the gate — because it is.
One yard in Burnaby, one crew, one phone call.
We own our trucks, our Bobcat® fleet and the operators that run them. No subcontracting — no surprises.
Residential and commercial, same standard.
A Burnaby backyard regrade and a 50-unit demolition both get the operator who's been doing this for fifteen years.
On-call when it matters.
Burst line at 2am? Schedule moved up two weeks? We've been the call Burnaby contractors and property managers make at 3am since 1989.
Environmentally conscientious work.
Materials sorted at source. Hauling minimized. Restoration done right the first time.
Questions we get
from Burnaby clients.
A quick look at what people in Burnaby ask before booking — pricing windows, scheduling, permits, and the kinds of jobs we take on.
Do you offer Bobcat services in Burnaby for tight-access driveways?
Yes. Bobcat services in Burnaby are one of our core lines — our skid-steer fleet runs everything from compact narrow-access units for backyards and side-gates to larger machines for full lot work. With our yard right in Burnaby we can usually have a Bobcat on site within hours, not days. Call 604-451-8333 for same-week availability.
What does concrete demolition in Burnaby typically cost?
Concrete demolition in Burnaby is priced by slab thickness, reinforcement, access and disposal volume. Driveway and walkway removals usually fall in a predictable range; foundations, garage pads and commercial slabs are quoted on site. We give you a fixed quote — not an hourly meter — so you know what the job costs before we start.
How fast can you mobilize for asphalt demolition in Burnaby?
Because our yard, trucks and crew are based in Burnaby, asphalt demolition jobs anywhere in the city are typically scheduled within the same week — often within 24–48 hours for small driveways and parking-stall removals. Larger lot tear-outs are coordinated around traffic control and disposal scheduling.
Do you handle landscaping services in Burnaby end-to-end?
Yes. Our landscaping services in Burnaby cover the full sequence — demolition of existing hardscape, grading, drainage, soil, rock, retaining walls, planting and finish. One crew, one schedule and one point of contact for the whole project.
Can you do drainage repair in Burnaby on older homes?
Drainage repair in Burnaby is one of our most-called services — perimeter drains, sump connections, regrading for surface water, waterline and sewer replacement. We work on character homes, mid-century houses and newer builds across Burnaby, Brentwood, Lougheed, Metrotown and Burnaby Heights.
Do you pull permits for excavation work in Burnaby?
For most service-line, drainage and demolition work we coordinate directly with the City of Burnaby on traffic management plans and disposal documentation. For permitted excavation tied to a building project, we work alongside your GC or designer — we handle the dig side and the paperwork that comes with it.
