Who We Are
Dependable civil contracting and excavation, close to home
We're a Thunder Bay based civil contractor working across Northwestern Ontario. Our work starts underground — digging, moving and shaping the ground so everything built on top of it lasts. That means excavation and trenching, septic fields, drainage, grading, rock work and gravel roads.
We keep our crews small, our equipment maintained, and our communication direct. You'll know who is coming to your property, what they're doing, and what it costs before the first bucket goes in the ground.
View Our ProjectsWhat We Do
Excavation and civil services for every stage of the job
From the first cut on a raw lot to the final grade, we handle the earthwork that keeps a project moving.
Septic Fields
Septic bed and field installation, tank excavation, replacement of failed systems, and the clean granular work these systems depend on.

Rock Walls
Boulder and armour stone walls built to hold a slope, protect a shoreline or square up a yard — placed by hand-eye and machine, not stacked and hoped for.

Landscaping
Finish grading, topsoil and sod, stone steps and river rock drainage beds — earthwork-driven landscaping that drains right and holds up to Northwestern Ontario weather.

Demolition
Tear-down and removal of garages, sheds, foundations, slabs and old structures, with the debris hauled off and the ground graded back clean.

Hired for the work, kept for the way it's done
Experienced Operators
The people running our machines have spent years in the seat. Fine grading, tight digs around services, and rock — it's routine work for us.
The Right Equipment
Excavators, dozers, loaders and trucking sized to the job, so a small residential dig doesn't get an oversized machine and a big site doesn't get stalled.
Local Knowledge
We work in Thunder Bay soil and Canadian Shield rock every week. We know how ground here drains, frosts, and behaves once you open it up.
Attention to Detail
Grades that drain the way they were designed to, clean slopes, tidy sites, and restoration that leaves the property better than we found it.
Residential to Commercial
A driveway, a septic replacement, a subdivision pad or a stretch of access road — the same crew and the same standard on all of it.
Straight Answers
Clear scope, realistic timelines, and a quote that reflects the actual work. If something changes in the ground, you hear about it right away.
Service Area
Serving Thunder Bay and the surrounding region
Canadian Civil Contracting works throughout Thunder Bay and the surrounding Northwestern Ontario area — in town, out on rural properties, at camps and on job sites down the highway. Being local means shorter mobilization, faster response when weather changes the plan, and a contractor who knows the ground before the machine shows up.
