Courtenay, BC Excavation

"We recently hired Evan from Island Edge Contracting to landscape our front yard. After explaining our design thoughts, Evan gave us great advice and communicated very well. His business knowledge was evident. As customers, we were confident throughout the process. Evan seamlessly anticipated every step required and managed the project professionally.

"Great guys, good worker and fair prices"

"Evan helped out with some landscaping work in my backyard and side yard of the house. Scope of the project was to remove the existing gravel in the back yard, and install topsoil for grass to be grown, as well as removing existing grass and install gravel, and a small rock retaining wall along the side of my house to add additional parking. Evan was very responsive, professional, and provided a great product at a good price. I would recommend him and his company to anyone looking for help! The soil and materials that were used were of good quality, and has allowed the grass that I seeded and watered to grow healthily!"

"On budget, on time, site was always clean, very happy with the work done."

"We connected with Evan to have a new gravel driveway created on our existing lawn - and both the experience working with Evan and final result were exceptional.

We have since contacted him again to continue with additional projects on our property."

"The area in front of my house on the highway is all gravel parking access except for a surrounding band of old fir trees. After 18 years of neglect, the weeds were winning and it all looked really shabby. That was before Evan and his machines. Most of all it was his discerning eye that looked through what was there to what could be. And then created great beauty with gravel and rocks. I am so grateful to him for this. He is thoughtful, strong, and gets the job done efficiently. I highly recommend him to you"

"Evan was professional, communicative, and so friendly and easy to work with. He did excellent work for a reasonable price.

I would highly recommend Evan and look forward to working with him again for future projects."

"Great job! I had a fill in and rock wall done for a driveway. Couldn’t be happier. Evan keeps you informed thru the process so nothing gets missed. Great communicator. Great pricing. All the best to you Evan."

"I love my new garden path. All the weedy gravel was removed, weed cloth put down and fresh gravel on top. The young man is a hard worker with high standards, very professional and punctual and with attention to detail. It is a pleasure to have met him."

"We had Evan do a gravel driveway down the side of our house. He was very prompt responding to our initial contact, took care of all the details with the gas company, completed the work on the timeline he set out. Very fair pricing. He’s professional, prompt, and we highly recommend his services. Thanks Evan! Eric and Susan"

"Prompt service, efficient with attention to detail. Easy to work with. Would highly recommend Evan."

"Nothing but great things to say about Evan and the work he did for us. Punctual, trustworthy and hardworking, Evan is now our go-to for landscaping. He levelled our yard, laid down landscape fabric, distributed mulch faster and better than I ever could. He was diligent in ensuring the area he worked on was cleaned up, as well as the driveway where materials had been delivered, which was much appreciated! I highly recommend giving Evan a call for your next landscaping project. I will definitely be using him again."

"Evan was great to deal with and we were delighted with the job he did installing edging for our long driveway. The job also involved a driveway expansion which required excavation around an existing sprinkler system and then backfilling after wiring was installed for driveway lighting. Evan was punctual and efficient, and provided exactly what we contemplated in the finished product. We are pleased to recommend him. Brent Boan Comox, BC"

"Evan was very easy to work with and did a great job on our project. We needed our yard graded so the rain drained away from our house instead of pooling against the basement walls. Something like 16 truck loads of dirt was removed and we are ready to create our garden. Evan arrived on the the planned date and worked right through to finish. Quality work done on schedule and fair prices, what more do you want!. We definitely recommend Island Edge Contracting."

"We had Evan install a "Rock Garden" in our Front yard, and we could not be happier with Evan's work and the final result. Evan provided us with a concise quote detailing all of the the work he would do, and a break-out of the costs for fabric, rocks, hauling etc. He was punctual, accommodated a few changes we made, delivered the layout that we were hoping for, and finished it all off with a thorough clean-up. We already have neighbours inquiring about his services---highly recommended!"

"I want to give a shout out to Evan and the great work he did in our front yard. We were able to get our lawn stripped and hardscaping done on time and on budget. Evan was flexible when we needed to make some changes mid-project and was able to coordinate to get additional supplies on site. I would highly recommend Island Edge Contracting!"

"Evan is a talented excavator who demonstrates an impressive work ethic. He is respectful, flexible and creative in his approach to his work, committing to the job fully from start to finish. He was hired to completely revamp a lengthy driveway on our 3+ acre property that required extensive excavation of a pre-existing, poorly laid gravel driveway and ultimately involved considerable remediation to address drainage problems. Many pivots were necessary during the process and Evan took these in stride with many good suggestions of his own. During the course of his work there were other trades on site with whom he communicated very effectively. He seems well connected with various resources in the community and accessed these in a timely and efficient fashion to help move the project along with few delays. Evan's skill set is somewhat surprising given his young age; he approaches all that he does with an impressive maturity expected of someone mid-career. I have no hesitation in recommending Evan for jobs requiring excavation/extensive landscape remodelling. He will be our number one pick should we need more work in this arena in the future."

"This young man is a hard-working professional that delivers quality work. Evan’s interpersonal communications are clear and concise. His experiences strengthen his ability to speak with credibility and confidence. He effectively blended his management skills with technical expertise to achieve the desired results. I’m extremely happy with the outcome of the job and highly recommend Evan for your next project. He is an honest individual and stays true to his word."

"Evan did some rock landscaping in our front yard. We contracted him based on the work and recommendations from a neighbour. His quote was concise, the work was done in timely manner and it looks wonderful. Evan is super curtious to deal with and we would highly recommend him."

"Highly recommend this business for landscaping and excavation. Great hard working business owner who will make sure clients are happy"

"We hired Island Edge Contracting to clean up the side of the house and prepare it for a sidewalk. The area was small and Evan the machine operator Skilfully managed to remove all the dirt and debris and prepare the area for the sidewalk and gravel finish I would highly recommend Island Edge Contracting For any further work? Before and after pictures are attached."

"I hired this company to do some landscaping at my home. The job was done within a couple of days and within my budget. I was so impressed with the professionalism, high standards, attention to detail, and making my vision come to life. Highly recommend their services to anyone!"

"We're very happy with the work that Evan did at our home in Black Creek."
