Excavation Burnaby BC
Excavating
contractor Burnaby.
Residential, emergency and commercial excavation across Burnaby and the Lower Mainland. Backhoes, Bobcat® and excavators run by operators who've been digging in this city since 1989.
Burnaby's go-to excavating contractor since 1989.
Your real estate development, landscape rebuild, pool install or waterline replacement doesn't start until someone has dug the hole. For 36+ years, Catmandu Excavating & Bobcat Service has been one of Burnaby's leading excavating contractors for both emergency calls and full-scale construction.
Our crews run a versatile fleet of backhoes, Bobcat® skid-steers and excavators to handle residential, commercial and industrial work throughout Burnaby, Vancouver, the Tri-Cities, Surrey and the rest of the Lower Mainland. One yard. One crew. One number that's answered live, day or night.
Every job is fixed-scope and fixed-price: site visit, written quote, scheduled mobilization. No metered hours, no surprise add-ons.
Residential
excavation Burnaby.
Pool digs, basement and foundation excavation, land clearing, lot prep and grading on Burnaby residential properties — from East Burnaby character homes to new builds in Brentwood, Lougheed and the Heights. We're property-conscious by default: tight-access machines, careful landscape protection, and full restoration as part of the scope.
Residential excavation Burnaby
Tight-access digs for pools, basements and lot prep — done with the landscape in mind, restored on finish.

excavation Burnaby.
Broken sewer at 2am. Burst waterline on a Sunday. A flooded backyard the morning of a wedding. When the dig can't wait until Monday, Catmandu picks up — live, every hour, every day. We're the call Burnaby contractors and property managers make at 3am because we actually answer it.
Our on-call crew arrives equipped for the fix: locate, excavate, repair, restore. We minimize damage to landscaping, hardscape and adjacent utilities — and we leave the site usable, not just exposed.
24/7 emergency excavation
Broken sewer, burst waterline, drainage failure — we mobilize day or night across Burnaby. Live answering, not voicemail.
