Operated heavy equipment · Vancouver, BC

We move the ground your project stands on.

Excavation, grading, rock work and site preparation with certified operators — anywhere within 200 km of Vancouver.

Services

Six things. Done properly.

We stay narrow on purpose. Every operator on a Coastgrade machine has a minimum of ten years in the seat.

  • Excavation

    Foundations, basements, trenching and utility runs. Mass excavation with spoil management and haul-off coordinated in-house.

  • Site Preparation

    Clearing, stripping, cut-and-fill and compaction to engineered spec, ready for forming the day we leave.

  • Grading & Drainage

    GPS machine-controlled finish grading, ditching, swales and culverts that hold up to a West Coast winter.

  • Rock Work

    Hydraulic breaking, rock scaling, retaining walls and armouring for slopes, driveways and highway edges.

  • Land Clearing

    Selective clearing, stumping and mulching for residential lots, acreages and right-of-ways.

  • Operated Rentals

    Machine plus operator by the hour, day or month. You run the job — we bring the iron and the experience.

Fleet

Late-model iron, maintained in our own shop.

Every unit is Tier 4 Final and GPS-ready. Lowbed transport is included anywhere in our service area.
