What We Do
Heavy iron for heavy work — and a careful hand on finish jobs.
Residential, commercial, municipal and industrial earthwork, run by an operator with 17+ years doing it in the patch.
Why Al’s Excavating
The patch teaches you to do it right the first time.
17+ years of oilfield earthwork — well pads, pipeline, mine support and lease access — in soft ground, near water and around tailings where experience matters.
Safety Is Not Paperwork
Oilfield sites don't tolerate shortcuts. Hazard assessments, spotters and proper trench protection come standard on every job — residential lots included.
Equipment Mastery
17+ years in the seat of excavators, dozers, loaders and rock trucks. The right machine, the right attachment, and no learning curve on your dime.
Built For Tough Terrain
Muskeg, swamp mats, soft ground, tailings, water crossings and steep grades are familiar territory — including lease access and work at heights.
Tight Timelines, Held
Turnarounds and shutdowns run on the clock. We plan the dirt, stage the equipment, and finish when we said we would.

What Customers Say
Straight talk from local jobs
Al showed up when he said he would, dug our basement clean, and left the lot tidy. You can tell the guy has run iron his whole life.
We had standing water behind the shop for three years. One day of ditching and culvert work and it's gone. Fair price, no runaround.
Hired Al's for pad work on a tight turnaround. Grade was bang on and safety paperwork was in order before he rolled on site.
