Foundation Digging in Cambridge
Accurate footings and foundation excavation for new homes, additions, and underpinning across Cambridge.
A foundation is only as good as the hole it sits in. Foundation digging demands tight tolerances: the right depth for frost and soil, clean walls, and a level base for footings.
What's included
- Footing and foundation-wall excavation to engineered depth
- Additions and attached-garage foundations
- Underpinning excavation for basement lowering
- Careful hand-digging near services
- Backfill and compaction once the foundation is in
Our process
- Site assessment — we walk the property, confirm access, and review your grading or foundation plan.
- Locates — we work from current Ontario One Call locates before any blade touches ground.
- Excavation — we dig to spec with the right-sized machine for your lot's access.
- Grade & hand-off — we leave a clean, accurate base ready for the next trade.

How close to the property line can you dig?
We follow your survey and setbacks, and hand-dig near lines and services where equipment can't work safely.
