Clearing and stripping topsoil to expose a clean, workable building surface.

Water ManagedProper compaction for a stable base that won't settle or shift.
Stable BaseEverything you build sits on the work that happens first. Poor grading and drainage cause settling, water problems, and costly fixes later. Rick preps sites to the right levels, with water managed and the ground compacted, so the build starts on solid footing.
We review the plan, elevations, and drainage, then stake the site.

I grew up around this work. My grandfather was running excavators back in 1975, my dad after him, and I've been on machines all my life. Third generation, and most days you'll still find me on a job site across Perth and Middlesex Counties.
Call Sharp and you get me, not a call center. I'm right here in Granton, and I treat every property like it's my own. I post job-site updates on Instagram, follow along.
