Excavation and grading in Laval, Montreal and the North Shore
Before any paving, construction or landscaping project, there's excavation. It's the foundation — literally — of everything that follows. At Asphalte Casabella, our experienced excavation team prepares the ground rigorously so your project rests on solid foundations.
Why is excavation so important?
Poor soil or a badly prepared foundation can cause sinking, cracks and drainage problems that are expensive to fix. By taking the time to do the excavation right from the start, we avoid these problems and guarantee the longevity of your investment.
Our team always evaluates soil conditions, frost depth and drainage needs before starting work, to offer you the best solution — whether for an asphalt or paving stone project.

Our excavation process
Everything starts with an on-site visit to evaluate the terrain and determine the required excavation depth. Depending on the project, we remove topsoil, debris and inadequate materials. We then compact the existing soil, followed by layered granular foundation installation.
If a drainage problem is detected, we install the appropriate systems before closing up. Our modern equipment allows us to work with precision, even in tight spaces.
Before and after: stable and well-drained terrain
Over time, poorly drained land creates soft spots, ruts and sinking surfaces. Proper excavation eliminates these problems at the source. After our work, your land is stable, level and ready for any development.
Service areas
We offer our excavation services throughout the North Shore (Saint-Eustache, Blainville, Boisbriand, Mirabel, Deux-Montagnes), Laval, Montreal, Montérégie and Lanaudière.
