Michell Excavating Ltd.

Every great project starts here. Moving the earth since 1950. Our story began with Michell Farm, established in the 1800s on the Saanich Peninsula.

From this family of farmers came Maurice Michell, who began specializing in custom tractor work with his father, Willard. This father-son duo used their equipment and experience to serve those in their community: farmers, homeowners, and business people. Before long, they had earned a reputation for producing quality work and forging relationships built on integrity and trust. Today, Michell Excav

ating continues to live up to that reputation. The company consists of Maurice’s children and grandchildren as well as a team of dedicated employees, many of whom have been with Michell Excavating for decades. We have experience you can rely upon, a passion for creating exceptional products, and a mission to contribute to our community.

Big changes at Michell Excavating’s Landscape Mart!

We’ve redesigned our office and yard layout to make your visit faster, easier, and more convenient than ever.

A huge thank you to Dogwood Landscape Co. for being part of this video and helping us show off the new space!

🌿 For a limited time, brush dump and compost drop-off are FREE for the next few months. It’s the perfect time to tackle your yard cleanup and keep those green waste piles out of the way.

Stop in, check out the new layout, and stock up on everything you need for your next landscaping project. See you soon!

We’re reaching out to support one of our team members and their family during a very difficult time.

Their child, Logan, is currently facing a serious medical situation and a challenging road to recovery. This has created a significant emotional and financial strain on the family.

If you’re able, we kindly ask you to consider supporting them through their GoFundMe. Any contribution or share is greatly appreciated.

2025 wasn’t handed to us. We built it.

Early mornings. Long days. Big moves.
Challenges came—but quitting never did.

From the first dig to the final load, we showed up committed, locked in, and ready to work.

Some say it looks too easy…
That’s just what happens when preparation meets grind.

Thanks to our crew, partners, and clients for trusting us all year.
2026—let’s raise the bar.

🚧 Lining Things Up Before We Go Deep

We’re on site supporting the pile crew and getting everything dialed in before excavation starts. A bit of organizing, a bit of coordinating, and a lot of making sure the ground stays where it’s supposed to.

The big dig is coming—right now we’re just making sure the stage is set.
