Common Excavation Projects in Apsley
Apsley is surrounded by cottage country, and a lot of jobs here start with getting the site ready—scraping/stripping the surface, shaping access routes, and establishing stable areas for construction and landscaping. We frequently handle driveway rebuilds, site prep for new builds and cottage upgrades, and grading for drainage so the finished property performs well through wet seasons and freeze/thaw.
We’re also working toward more projects around Chandos Lake, which is located in North Kawartha and has communities like Apsley nearby—making it a natural fit for shoreline and waterfront excavation, armour stone work, and landscape preparation on lake properties
