The old steel culvert under this driveway had rusted out and the entrance was sinking every spring. We dug it out, bedded a new culvert at the right grade, backfilled with crushed stone and rebuilt the entrance so the ditch flows and the driveway holds up to traffic.
Russell is home base for CD Excavation, so most jobs here are only a few minutes from the yard. The village sits along the Castor River, and much of Russell Township is flat farmland on heavy clay — ground that holds water, heaves with the frost and quickly breaks up a driveway built on a thin base.
That's why so many Russell calls are about water: culverts and ditches at the road, low spots in the yard, and new-build lots in the village that need a proper finish grade before the sod goes down. We also build and repair a lot of rural laneways and entrances on the concession roads around town.
We're an owner-operated crew that takes pride in the finish: we walk every site before we price it, show up when we say we will, and leave it graded out clean. That's how we've built our reputation across Eastern Ontario, one job at a time.
