Serving the Regional District of Nanaimo
Contact Nanaimo Excavators
Nanaimo Excavators runs Class 4–8 machines across the Regional District of Nanaimo, including Lantzville, Cedar, South Wellington and Extension. Tell us the address and what you need dug, and we will come and walk it before we price it.
Tell us about your site and what you need done. We'll get back to you with next steps — a call, a few questions, or a time to walk the property.
What happens next
Tell us about the job — Give us the basics — the work you need done and where the property is.
We look at the site — We walk the property or review what you've sent before we price it.
Get your quote — You get a written quote with machine class, estimated hours and what's included.
What to send us
The property address, roughly what needs digging, and when you're hoping to have it done. If you have drawings, a survey or a septic plan, say so — it saves a step. If you don't know the scope yet, that's fine; working it out is part of the site walk. Tell us if there's an existing structure coming out, if the lot slopes, or if access is tight, because those three change a quote more than square footage does.
Is your property in the Agricultural Land Reserve?
Tell us early if it is, because it adds time at the front of the job. Moving fill or soil on reserve land needs a Notice of Intent filed with the Agricultural Land Commission first. Our permits page carries the fee and the notice period, and we plan your start date around it.
If you are not sure whether your parcel sits inside the reserve, say so and we will check it as part of the site walk.
The same goes for anything else with a waiting period on it. If your project needs a permit, or a locate that has to clear first, we would rather turn that up while we are still working out the job than after you have booked a date around us. Ask us at the start and we will tell you what has to be filed and when it has to go in.
How soon should you get in touch?
Get in touch as soon as you have a rough idea of what you want dug. You do not need drawings or a date to talk to us. The earlier we see your property, the more room we have to fit you in around the work already in the book. If your job has paperwork on the front of it, that is another reason not to leave it late. Tell us what you are thinking, and we will tell you what happens next and roughly when we could get to you.

Lantzville
We dig around septic and well lines with locates first.

We plan for the clay and till we find there.

We're careful with tight-lot setbacks.
Extension
Extension's bigger lots often mean we can keep your spoil on site and just check that the float has room to get in.
