Making Your Vision Become A Reality with Fisher Excavating and Grading

Spring is the perfect time for new outdoor projects. As the snow melts and the   thaws, our energy turns to completing projects that will make our outdoor lives easier and more beautiful. 

Perhaps you have a new build starting this spring; the excavation process can finally begin.  Need septic work? Spring is a great time to get this work done before the warmer summer months arrive. It is also a great time for work at the cottage that requires a barge to bring in machinery that might not get there without water access. 

Since 2006 Fisher Excavating and Grading has been your local go-to for contracting the best in outdoor excavation work. Dwaine Fisher, owner, has been in the construction industry for most of his life, and has the skill and know-how to bring your dreams to fruition. Servicing an area from Lake Scugog right to Haliburton, Dwaine and his staff of seven always work closely with your other contractors for a seamless experience. Fisher Excavating and Grading specialises in shorelines, dredging, new home construction, road grading, and what Dwaine affectionately calls ‘weird and difficult jobs’ – he says his favourite projects are anything that presents a challenge.

Fisher has a large collection of equipment including a new 72″ rock saw, which mounts to their 140 excavator, for cutting shoreline stone. Other equipment in their fleet includes a long reach excavator, and a 210 excavator that holds a brush head capable of turning everything in its path to wood chips. The Fishers also have hammers for the excavators and a D8 Dozer for larger rock jobs. Their fleet includes a road grader – perfect for cottage road maintenance and a full-service barge. 

“Having our own barge means we can do the work on our timeline, instead of having to wait for the availability of someone else’s barge,” says Dwaine,“ and there is the added peace of mind that comes from knowing the barge is in good repair, fully licensed and insured.”

For the Fisher team, the job doesn’t begin when the equipment moves onsite – it begins by walking the customer through all aspects of the project, whether it is a septic system, shoreline improvement, or other excavation project; you can expect the best in customer service from them.

For every job, Fisher arranges for all required permits. If it’s a new build, that could involve permits for demolition, septic, etc., as well as those required by the conservation authority. This is a great added bonus, and offers enormous peace of mind when you are working with the environment.

If it is shoreline work you are thinking about, Dwaine’s field of expertise covers things like boathouse and shoreline work, as well as dredging and barge work; he has a great understanding of local water levels and the ramifications of changes in those levels. He has an excellent working relationship with Trent-Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority, and understands their perspectives on shoreline conservation, habitat protection, etc. For example, did you know there are rules in place which prohibit disruption of the water sediment during certain months based on your area? With such a delicate balance when working between water and land, Dwaine and his team know that details like these are of the utmost importance when working with the environment. 

Let Fisher Excavating and Grading take the worry out of your next project so you can relax and enjoy.
