Site Drainage

Proper drainage is crucial to the success of any excavation or grading project, no matter the size. To ensure the correct elevations are achieved, it’s important to have a city-approved grade slip before work begins. Failing to meet minimum grade requirements can result in costly repairs to neighboring properties and, in some cases, legal issues.The ideal time to start preliminary site grading is right before the construction phase of your project begins. With adequate notice, we can work within most schedules. We proudly offer site grading services for both residential and light commercial properties.

At Iron Trident, we ensure your site is ready for the next phase by providing services such as clearing debris, leveling terrain, and ensuring proper drainage.

Trenching services are essential for tasks such as installing or repairing drainage systems, inspecting cables or lines, or laying new utility lines like gas, electrical, and other services. Our skilled professionals excavate and backfill trenches with precision and care, minimizing any impact on the surrounding landscape. We also ensure that the appropriate materials are used for backfilling and proper compaction, tailored to the specific needs of the project.

At Iron Trident, we efficiently remove trees, brush, rocks, and other debris to create a clean, level workspace for your project.

Common tasks we take on include excavating trenches, building retaining walls, and backfilling around home foundations. No matter the size of the job, we have the capability to get it done efficiently. Our fleet includes compact excavators, loaders, trucks, and trailers to ensure seamless material delivery. We also take care of selecting the proper waterproofing, drainage solutions, and backfill materials to meet your project’s specific needs.

Once the removal is complete, we perform a thorough excavation to create the proper gravel base required for effective drainage. Our skilled team is also equipped to construct concrete driveways, install paving stone driveways, and prepare sites for asphalt installation.

Tree Stump Removal

Do you have a stump in your yard that you’re ready to get rid of? Whether it’s the result of a fallen tree or an old stump that’s become an eyesore, we specialize in stump and root removal. With the right equipment and expertise, we can handle stumps of any size using tools and techniques tailored to the job. If you’d like your stump removed, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

Ditch Countouring

If your ditch is overrun with unwanted overgrowth, such as weeds and grass, and causing drainage problems, it may be time to reshape it. Our skilled excavation contractors can re-grade, reshape, and clean up your ditch with precision, leaving it functional, properly drained, and visually clean.

Finish Grade

Finish grading involves adjusting the elevation, contour, and shape of the land to match the final grading plan. Our skilled team uses advanced equipment to remove debris, level the soil, and apply loam for a smooth surface, perfect for planting grass or laying sod. Typically, the finish grade aligns with the height of walkways, driveways, or patios.

Drainage

Construction sites require a variety of drainage systems, and as experienced excavation contractors, we are well-versed in all of them. From land grading to drainage installation, we handle it all. Our services include installing drain tiles, trench drains, sump or catch basin systems, floor drains, and downspout or gutter drainage systems. With the necessary excavation equipment, we ensure proper trenching and grading to guarantee effective drainage for your project.

Drain Tile Installation

Installing drain tiles is an effective way to protect your home or structure from groundwater damage. Once the foundation is waterproofed, drain tiles are placed along the foundation and backfilled with wash rock, allowing water to flow efficiently to the drainage system. Over time, drain tiles may need to be replaced, and we have the specialized equipment to handle this work, even in finished yards where only small machinery can access the area.

Dry Wells

If your property experiences excessive runoff water, a dry well can be an effective solution. Dry wells are underground structures designed to collect surface water and gradually release it deep into the ground through a perforated chamber filled with drainage rock or similar materials . Proper placement is essential, ensuring the dry well is far enough from your home and not too close to neighboring properties. Our skilled excavation team can design and construct dry wells of any size to effectively manage your drainage needs.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are a great solution for many landscaping projects, adding structure and enhancing the look of your yard by elevating certain areas. Proper drainage is essential for their durability. Our excavation team handles everything from site preparation and waste removal to building sturdy retaining walls with a solid foundation and effective drainage using the right backfill materials. Retaining walls can be made from various materials, including concrete, stone, or prefabricated blocks in different shapes and sizes.

Pool Excavation

Pool excavation is a major project, and our skilled excavation team can handle projects of any size. Excavating for a pool requires removing a large amount of soil, though some may be kept for backfilling around the pool later. The next step involves creating a solid foundation for the pool, followed by constructing the pool shell. Before the shell is built, all trenching for electrical and pool lines must be completed to prevent damage. We have the necessary trenching equipment to efficiently install the pool lines.

Swimming Pool Removal

If you rarely use your pool and want more yard space, we can decommission and remove it for you. After draining the pool and removing the liner, we proceed to remove the pool surface. Pools are made from various materials, and we have the tools and expertise to handle any type. All removed materials are responsibly recycled, and the pool area is backfilled with solid materials like rock, gravel, sand, and soil, compacted in layers to ensure stability.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

My wife and I were more than happy with the work Iron Trident did for us. The project was extensive with numerous patios and walkways on a large lot. Despite substantial delays with weather and a labour dispute Simon, Tristan and their crew passed with more than flying colours. With patience, keeping in touch, good advice and then the high quality of their work we were very impressed.

We completed a large architectural style front steps with floating design and multiple large planters and retaining walls. I can’t speak more highly of the work that was done for us.

I couldn’t be happier with the work this team did! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. They excavated our yard for a retaining wall and handled everything from grading to drainage with precision. The crew was friendly, and they left the site spotless.
