Standing water near a foundation, a backyard that never dries out, or a driveway with a puddle of water after every storm usually traces back to one thing: the ground was poorly made so that it can’t move water away in the first place. That is where our lot grading Ottawa and excavation come in. We reshape the land and let gravity do its wonders, moving runoff away from homes and businesses instead of letting it sit against a wall, a slab, or a septic system. If your property has drainage problems, call us to schedule a site visit.
With more than 30 years in helping local homeowners, Don and Mike are always eager to offer affordable and high-quality lot grading. Get direct access with the owners, no middleman involved. So if you have a lot of questions, you will get direct answers. Need grading? Approved grading plan? Proper drainage solutions? Whether it’s residential construction or commercial, we’ll work on it.

We ensure that the surface slope of a property will carry water away from structures. We redirect it typically toward the street, a swale, or a stormwater outlet. Our grading and drainage plan shows existing elevation, proposed elevation, and the direction water is meant to flow once the work is done. At MD Excavation, we ensure that our work will last for years and doesn’t need constant re-grade every few years. Are you working on something? Call us now to book an appointment.
We start almost every project with an on-site inspection and a straightforward site assessment. We walk the property, look at where water pooling is happening, check the slope near the foundation, note any low spots along property lines or a shared boundary with a neighbour. If the existing property already has a grading layout, we compare it to what we find on the ground. Improper lot grading is common on older homes and lots where landscaping projects, a pool installation, or a new private drive disturbed the original grade without restoring it properly. In those cases, re-grading the affected area, rather than starting from scratch, is usually enough to solve the problem. Are you facing the same issue? Schedule a site inspection now.
When we handle your project, we will take care of everything for you. We understand that the City of Ottawa and surrounding municipalities set standards for surface drainage, municipal storm connections, and how it must direct runoff so it does not create soil erosion onto a neighbour’s property or into a right of way. New construction, additions, and any significant alteration to an existing property’s grade often require a building permit and an approved plan before work begins, and land development or subdivision projects almost always call for a detailed grading plan reviewed by the municipality. We build every project to meet those requirements, so you are not left dealing with a by-law complaint. With Don and Mike as your partner, a solid support and solution is guaranteed. Get a quote now.

We’ll put it out there. We do not do landscape work. We are not the crew installing flagstone patios, retaining walls for decorative terracing, or planting beds. What we do is grading, the structural work underneath all of that. We get the level right, correct the slope, and make sure water moves off the property instead of a puddle of water near a shed, an asphalt driveway, or an interlock patio. If you already have a landscaping company lined up, we are often the step that happens before they arrive. Let our team do the lot of grading properly to avoid future problems. Call us at +1 (613) 240-1719.
If you need a septic tank system installation service, our team can do it properly. If it is graded wrong, a puddle of water can surface over the field, saturate the soil, and shorten the lifespan of your system considerably. When we grade around an existing system or prepare a lot for a new one, we make sure surface drainage is directed well clear of the bed and tank. We take care of the requirements so you don’t have to think about it. Book a septic tank system appointment today.
