04 Questions
Before you dig — good questions
What services does 51 Excavation offer?
Site preparation, utility excavation, trenching, demolition, environmental remediation and landscaping support — for residential, commercial and landscaping projects across Toronto and the GTA.
How deep can 51 Excavation dig?
It depends on the project and the equipment it calls for — from shallow utility trenches to deep foundation excavations. Tell us what you're building and we'll match the machinery and method to the depth required, always within Ontario's excavation safety rules.
Does 51 Excavation handle permits and locates?
Yes. We arrange underground utility locates through Ontario One Call before digging — it's free and it's the law — and we help you understand which municipal permits your project may need.
What safety measures does 51 Excavation take?
Safety protocols, up-to-date training and a risk assessment on every job. Trenches and excavations follow Ontario Regulation 213/91, and no machine moves until locates are in hand.
How does 51 Excavation protect the environment?
Responsible soil management, erosion control, and proper handling and disposal of excavated and contaminated material under Ontario's excess-soil rules (O. Reg. 406/19).
