Begun a new Pond Restoration. This will be ongoing for a while. To start, we drained the pond and begun digging it out (will have to have an excavator in to help with digging). Will try to post pictures as things progress through the stages.

Yesterdays job. It was a tight fit for the machine, but we made it work. We removed the complete side garden to make room for an additional parking area for client on Quamichan Park Rd and hauled everything away to compost.

Interesting Facts About the Backhoe Loader
Some historians insist that the birth of the loader dates back to 1835 at the implementation of the steam-powered dipper shovel (also known as a steam shovel). Unlike the modern backhoe that has four-wheel drive, the dipper shovel was transported via rails to its work site

A Backhoe can handle landscaping jobs of all sizes and types, including moving trees, digging up roots, and even moving trees intact. They can move boulders, rocks, gravel, or move dirt and topsoil. Backhoes are also fantastic for digging fence post holes or small excavation jobs, such as digging ponds and water features. Irrigation lines can be dug with these machines to keep your landscape watered and healthy at any time of year.

My job in progress on Cowichan Lake Rd. Working with the Excavator, the home owner is cleaning up their land, removing trees & stumps, re-routing the ditch, adding drain rock, and leveling the land in preparation for ... anything's possible!

My job on Tzouhalem Rd this week. The home owner was experiencing flooding in their backyard so we trenched it in & installed BIG 'O' High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) tubing and drain rock. Then we leveled the land in preparation for a lawn.

Last week I was hired by a homeowner in Sathlam for a Site preparation project. They needed an area of their land grubbing up, removing any remaining roots, brush, brambles & rocks and rough grading now that the tree's have been cleared and the stumps ground out. I filled the holes left from clearing and roughly graded off the land. The remaining material was piled off to the side. The area is now ready to be hand raked, and level graded if the homeowner chooses.
