Precision Excavation.
Built on Solid Ground.
Site preparation, driveway construction, pool pads, drainage improvements and grading completed with careful planning, proper materials and attention to detail.
Built From the Ground Up
Excavation Done Right the First Time
Excavation is about more than moving soil. Proper elevations, drainage, material selection and compaction determine how well a finished project performs for years to come.
IronRidge uses compact equipment suited to residential properties, rural lots and light commercial projects. This allows us to work efficiently while limiting unnecessary disruption to surrounding lawns, driveways and structures.
Every project begins with a clear understanding of the intended result, site access, existing grades and the materials required to build a stable finished product.
What We Do
Excavation & Grading Services
From preparing a building site to correcting drainage problems, each project is approached with accurate planning and a strong foundation.
Driveway Construction
New gravel driveways, resurfacing, pothole repair, grading, crown correction and aggregate placement.
Pool Pads
Excavated, compacted and laser-levelled bases for above-ground pools, designed for stability and proper installation.

Material Placement
Placement and spreading of Type 1 gravel, crusher dust, clear stone, topsoil and other suitable materials.
Proper Preparation Matters
Built to Perform
Proper grading is often something people do not notice until it has been done incorrectly. Poor drainage, inadequate compaction and unsuitable base material can lead to settlement, rutting and standing water.
We focus on accurate elevations, suitable aggregates and thorough compaction so the completed project remains stable and performs as intended.

Attention to Detail
What Goes Into a Proper Base
Long-lasting excavation work begins with the parts that are often hidden once the project has been completed.
Accurate Elevations
Laser-guided grading helps establish the correct heights, slopes and finished elevations.
Compacted in Lifts
Aggregate is installed in manageable layers and compacted to reduce settlement and movement.
Suitable Materials
Different applications require the correct aggregate sizes, fabrics, base depths and finishing materials.
Proper Drainage
Finished grades are planned to direct water away from structures and other vulnerable areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an Excavation Project?
Every property is different. These are some of the most common questions customers ask before getting started.
Request a Site VisitDo you supply gravel and other materials?
Yes. We can arrange suitable aggregates and include delivery, placement and compaction in your project quote.
Can you correct drainage problems?
Yes. Depending on the property, possible solutions may include regrading, swales, drainage stone, French drains or other water-management improvements.
Do you remove excavated material?
Excess soil, sod, gravel and other spoil material can be hauled away when included in the project scope. Suitable material may also be reused elsewhere on the property.
Can you excavate for garages and sheds?
Yes. We can prepare sites for sheds, garages, additions and other small structures, subject to access and project requirements.
Are underground utility locates required?
Required utility locates and permits must be completed before excavation begins. The exact requirements depend on the property and scope of work.
How far will IronRidge travel?
IronRidge is based in Grand Falls–Windsor. We serve surrounding areas and can travel elsewhere in Newfoundland when the size and scope of the project make travel practical.
