Site Development & Excavating

Your site development benefits from Kenozha Bay Co’s collaborative approach with surveyors, planners, and architects. We coordinate each step of development, leveraging our 25+ years of experience to seamlessly manage all the moving parts. Our established relationships with building departments, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the Environment, and local septic authorities will expedite permits and approvals, saving you time and eliminating bureaucratic headaches.

Whether you’re dealing with virgin soil or Muskoka’s challenging granite bedrock, your excavation project demands skilled operators who understand the local terrain. Our operators maneuver a comprehensive fleet including excavators ranging from 5 to 30 tons, powerful bulldozers, and a rock truck for onsite haulage. This is complemented by multiple precision skid steers with various attachments, allowing us to shape the land precisely as needed with minimal environmental impact.

Our fleet, featuring the most efficient and time-saving barge on the lakes and our triaxle dump trucks, transforms your property quickly into a workspace that sets contractors up for success. When excavated materials can be reused later in your build—for backfill, grading, or landscaping—we strategically store them on site, reducing your haulage costs and equipment time. Your properly prepared site means every subsequent trade works more efficiently, benefiting your entire project with smooth scheduling and better results.

Every successful build follows a proven sequence. We begin with a site survey and planning coordination with your design team. Permit applications follow, leveraging our established government relationships. Once approved, we mobilize for site clearing. If an existing structure needs to be removed, we handle the entire process, including service disconnections and the decommissioning of old septic systems. This is followed by excavation and rough grading, creating the foundation for your construction timeline.

Poor site preparation creates costly delays throughout your entire build. Foundation crews can’t do their best work on uneven terrain. Delivery trucks get stuck on inadequate access roads. Improper drainage causes water issues that require expensive fixes later. Professional site preparation eliminates these problems before they start, keeping your project on schedule and on budget.
