What we dig

From forestry mulching and pond clean-outs to septic installs, basements, driveways and farm work — built for rural Grey and Dufferin properties.

Forestry Mulching

Forestry Mulching

Brush, saplings and overgrown lots cleared in one pass. The mulch stays on the ground, so there are no burn piles and no hauling. Trails, fence lines, building sites, hydro lines and farm edges.

Forestry Mulching

Got a lot that's gone to brush, a fence line full of saplings, or a trail you can't walk anymore? Louie runs the mulcher himself and turns it into mulch right where it stands. One pass, ground left covered, and you can see your property again.

  • No burn piles, no hauling. The brush is ground up and left on site as mulch.
  • Trails and fence lines. Walking and ATV trails and overgrown fence lines opened back up.
  • Building sites. Overgrown lots cleared so you can survey, stake out and start digging.
  • Hydro lines and sightlines. Brush knocked back from lines, laneways and road corners.
  • Farm edge reclaim. Win back field edges and bush that crept in over the years.
