Why hire Boondock Excavation?

boondock - 075When I first started out as a young apprentice in the home building trades, I was always intimidated working around the guy in his big machine. I quickly learned that there were those operators that left the site imacculately smooth and made my job moving back and forth over the site an easy and safe one, while others left leaving the ground unlevel, unsightly and mixed up with construction debree. The clean guys seemed to really care about the job and how they did it, and were always looking out for me and other safety issues. They seemed to love what they were doing and it showed. They even got the job done faster because they had planned their moves ahead of time, often “killing two birds with one stone”. Today, I can proudly say that we are the guys that care and have the experience and knowledge in excavation services to handle excavation work in a friendly, professional and efficient manner. When you hire Boondock Equipment West, you’re in good hands, from start to finish.

Plumbing

There’s no need to hire and coordinate a plumber with our services since we do both…it just makes sense!

Skilled excavation services are necessary any time that plumbing is necessary because it involves important  lines underground.

In the case of modern drainage systems that involve a dual pipe setup with more than one sump, and power lines to supply electricity to a pump, skilled planning, excavation and installation are prerequisites for a successful, trouble free system.

An experienced contractor will ensure that all lines and connections are installed correctly, and that records of these services be made prior to backfilling. Boondock Equipment West keeps detailed photographic records of all it’s installations at various stages of the work to ensure the satisfaction of the owner and provide assistance for future reference. Our Company stands behind our work and wants you to see the results!

Retaining Walls

6'-stepped-retaining-wallMany properties in Vancouver employ the use of retaining walls in their landscape for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Retaining walls can be as simple and elegant as a “dry fit” stone installation, or as modern as architectural concrete. Regardless of the finish, it is important that the base of the wall is excavated and prepared carefully, and that special drainage is installed behind and near the base of the wall to ensure strength and reduce the chance of slides and unwanted water buildup. I have seen many nicely done retaining walls that have left out these underlying steps and resulted in wall failures and wet soggy yards. At Boondock, we not only dig and prepare for retaining walls, we also prescribe and install a drainage system that protects the landscape and home within the larger context of water issues on sloped land. Excavation is just one step in this process. We have both the ability and knowledge to ensure that all steps are performed properly so that your investment is a happy and lasting one.
