"We needed a pool dig finished before our liner showed up. Teston came in, finished a day early, back-filled around the install perfectly. They saved our schedule."

Frequently Asked Questions

We're here to help.

How much does excavation cost?

Every project is different — cost depends on the size, depth, soil, and access of your specific site. The best way to get an accurate number is to have us come out, take a look, and put a quote together for you. It's free, with no obligation.

How long does a typical excavation project take?

A standard residential foundation dig: 1–3 days. Pool excavation: 2–4 days. Larger commercial site prep: 1–2 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline before we start — and we hit it.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — fully licensed, WSIB-covered, and $5M liability insurance. We'll send you our certificates before we sign anything.

Can you help with permits and utility locates?

We arrange the Ontario One Call locates, and we'll help you through the municipal permit process so nothing gets missed.

What areas of the GTA do you serve?

Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, and everywhere in between.
