Service: Excavation

Excavation contractor in London, Ontario

5Rivers Trucking is a heavy-civil excavation contractor serving London and Southwestern Ontario. We dig, we haul and we grade, treating a backyard project with the same discipline as a municipal contract.

Earthmoving done to spec

Site cuts, trenching for services, footing excavation, digouts and fine grading: cut and graded to spec and verified against survey for accurate finished elevations.

Because we run our own dump trucks, the excavation and the haulage move as one crew, with no waiting on a separate trucking company to show up.

Site preparation from start to finish

From stripping and grading through backfill and final cleanup, we prepare sites for foundations, driveways, hardscape and landscaping, handed over broom-clean.

Where we dig

Across London and the towns around it: north to Ilderton, Lucan and Thorndale, west to Komoka, Mount Brydges and Strathroy, east to Dorchester and Ingersoll, and south to St. Thomas. Our own dump trucks come with the machine, so the spoil leaves the site as it is dug.

Recent work includes trucking on a landfill project for an excavation contractor and on new subdivisions in London; see our projects page.

Typical jobs

Footings for additions and garages, trenches for water, sewer and hydro services, driveway digouts with new granular base, and grading to move water away from a foundation.

On larger sites, bulk cuts and fills, pads for buildings, and the haul-off and haul-in that go with them, scheduled with the trucks we run ourselves.

How booking works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the job

    Call 437-679-9350 or 226-700-5268, or send the quote form with the site address, what is being moved, roughly how much, and when.

  2. Step 2

    Get a price

    We reply within one business day, priced by the hour, the load, the tonne, or a fixed amount agreed before we start.

  3. Step 3

    We dispatch

    Trucks and machines are booked for your date, and dispatch keeps them cycling on the day.

  4. Step 4

    Weighed and ticketed

    Every load is ticketed, and the invoice lists each job with its tickets, so what you pay for matches what arrived.

Questions

Do you handle both excavation and hauling?

Yes, we run our own dump trucks, so excavation, material delivery and spoil haul-out are handled by one crew on the same schedule.

Do you do excavation in Ilderton and north of London?

Yes. Ilderton, Lucan, Thorndale and the rest of north Middlesex are a short run from our yard, and the trucks that take the spoil away come with the job.

What areas do you serve for excavation?

London and the surrounding region: St. Thomas, Strathroy, Woodstock, Ingersoll, Dorchester, Komoka, Ilderton, Lucan, Mount Brydges, Thorndale, Belmont, Aylmer, Tillsonburg, Parkhill and Glencoe, across Middlesex, Elgin and Oxford counties.
