Excavating & Trucking Services for the Cowichan Valley & Beyond
When Experience Counts
Since 1999, Ace Bobcat & Septic Services has been the company to call for excavating & trucking services in the Cowichan Valley and throughout the southern portions of Vancouver Island. We have four different sized excavators that can literally tackle any size job. From small back yard work to turning a mountain into a mole hill, if you have a project, we have an excavator to suit.
We also have skid steer loaders, on tracks or wheels. This machine can level ground and disintegrate loads of fill and place them exactly where needed. We have a compactor with our Track Cat to firm up the road base for your driveway. We also have a track dump, small compactor, and various other hand tools we need to do the job right. Even though we don’t use it as much any more we even have a regular Bobcat here at Ace Bobcat!

Excavation involves the careful digging and removal of soil and rocks to prepare the ground for building projects. This process establishes a stable foundation, creating space for structures and utilities to ensure successful construction endeavors.
Sub-excavation involves digging and removing earth beneath a specified area, often beneath structures or at sub-grade levels. This process is tailored to create space for basements, utility installations, or specialized foundations.
An excavation in which the removal of soil and rocks forms a narrow opening in the ground. Unlike larger excavations, a trench is generally deeper than it is wide. Commonly used in the installation of underground utilities and pouring footings and grade beams in foundation construction.
Backfilling is the process of refilling and compacting excavated areas with soil or other materials. This step follows excavation and is designed to support foundations, utilities, or trenches, providing stability and ensuring proper compaction for a solid base.
Rough grading is the initial shaping and leveling of the ground before more detailed work begins. This process involves the removal or redistribution of soil to establish a basic contour for the construction site.
Final grading is the last phase of site preparation, focusing on refining the terrain to its intended contours. This process involves shaping and leveling the ground, ensuring proper drainage and a smooth surface before the application of landscaping or paving materials.
