Driveway Dip Getting a Little Too Deep? 🚜💥

From deep trenches to flawless finishes, the team at Smith Earthworks just wrapped up another residential culvert replacement! 🛠️

Old, collapsed culverts can cause serious drainage issues, erode your driveway, and mess with your property's curb appeal. We stepped in with the heavy armor, dug out the old infrastructure, laid down heavy-duty new piping, and packed it back in with precision grading.

The Manotick project is really taking shape! 🏗️💎

We’ve been sharing progress on this massive armourstone retaining wall over the last few weeks, and the transformation is incredible. Our team is currently dialled in on the final grading and slugging to ensure every stone is locked in perfectly.

As you can see, the scale of this build is significant—reaching heights of up to 10 feet in sections. We are moving fast to wrap up the structural phase so we can transition into final landscaping. It’s all about precision and stability when you’re working with stone this size.

Stay tuned for the final reveal!

Now you see it, now you don’t! 🎩✨

We just wrapped up a cottage demolition on Sand Lake in Elgin, and it was practically a magic trick. One minute, the old structure was standing—the next, "p**f," it’s gone, leaving nothing but a clean slate for a brand-new rebuild.

At Smith Earthworks, we pride ourselves on precision. Notice how the site is left leveled and spotless, with barely a trace we were ever there—except for the open space ready for a dream cottage. Clean, efficient, and professional.

Ready to clear the way for your next project in Eastern Ontario? Let’s make it happen.

📢 When we need a little help from our friends... 🚜
​We were swamped and our machines were tied up, so we called in the cavalry! Huge thanks to our friends over at JL Mulching and Excavating for helping us out with this test hole for a septic tank over in Athens.

Hard work and heavy lifting in Manotick! 🚜💎

The weather is finally cooperating, and the team is making incredible progress on this massive shoreline transformation. We are currently installing 130 feet of premium Armor Stone, reaching heights of up to 10 feet at its peak! 🧗‍♂️

The homeowners are so thrilled with the transformation that we’ve actually increased the scope of the project to add even more functional beauty to the property. It’s a massive undertaking, but the results are going to be legendary.

Stay tuned as we continue to push forward—we can’t wait to show you the final reveal!
