Excavation, Site Prep & Hauling in Gravenhurst
Gravenhurst is the south Muskoka gateway, the first town you hit coming up from Orillia, sitting on the south end of Lake Muskoka. We work across Gravenhurst regularly, with a steady mix of cottage-area septic installs, residential excavation and demolition. The drive from Waubaushene runs about 50 minutes via Hwy 11.
