Excavation and site prep in Coquitlam
We do excavation, grading, trenching and site preparation across Coquitlam, with compact machines that fit through tight side yards.
Working in Coquitlam
Coquitlam's slopes mean a lot of cut-and-fill: digging out for patios and walls on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, foundations for garden suites and carriage houses in Maillardville and Austin Heights, and trenching for drains and services. We locate utilities first, plan where the spoil goes, and leave a compacted, graded subgrade ready for the next stage.
Because we also build the retaining walls, drainage, driveways and patios that go on top, the excavation is done to the standard the finished work needs, and you're not coordinating three separate contractors.

Excavation & site prep work
What clients say
Me & my demolition company worked with Premier Grounds Contracting on a large outdoor project and were extremely impressed. They handled excavation, grading, drainage, concrete work, retaining walls, fencing, and premium artificial turf installation, all completed to a very high standard. The team was professional, well organized, and clearly experienced in landscape construction and contracting, not just basic landscaping.
