Site grading, base prep for interlock, drainage re-sloping, and general excavation — the groundwork that decides whether your project lasts.
Excavation that fits The Glebe — not just a template.
The Glebe's tight, historic lots mean parking, access, and a careful hand matter more than anywhere. We've done dozens of backyard patios behind rowhouses and pockets off Bank — small spaces done properly.
- Backyard patios and walkways accessed through narrow, fence-lined lots
- No-damage delivery and staging plans for tight-street homes
- Garden beds and borders that suit The Glebe's older, sun-varied yards
What you get with every excavation job
Excavation questions from The Glebe homeowners.
Do I need excavation for a new interlock job?
Usually yes — a proper base requires digging out, re-compacting, and adding crushed stone. Skipping it is why patios settle. We include excavation in hardscape quotes where it's needed.
Can you fix a yard that holds water?
Yes — water pooling is an excavation and grading problem. We cut swales, re-grade low spots, and add catch basins to move water away from the house.
Can you get interlock into a narrow Glebe backyard?
Yes — we do it regularly. We plan material drops and wheelbarrow routes before we start, and the finished patios fit the tightest rowhouse yards.
Is there parking / will you block the street?
We keep our trucks tight and coordinate with you on on-street parking for deliveries. For most Glebe jobs we can stage materials without blocking the lane.
