# Harv’s Excavating — Excavation Contractor in Bruce Mines, Algoma District, Ontario

Harv’s Excavating is a Bruce Mines & District Chamber of Commerce-listed excavation contractor working the Lake Huron North Shore between Sault Ste. Marie and Blind River. The shop is small, locally owned and primarily focused on rural lot work — driveway prep, foundation excavation, septic-bed grading and drainage — the kind of dirt work cottage and rural-property owners in Algoma District need most.

## Services

- **Site preparation and grading** — building pads, driveway sub-base, lot clearing
- **Foundation excavation** — basements, footings, slab prep on rural and waterfront lots
- **Septic bed and trench work** — coordinated alongside licensed installers
- **Drainage and culvert installation** — runoff control, swales, culvert sizing
- **General earthworks** — fill placement, levelling, rough landscaping prep

## Service Area

Bruce Mines, Thessalon, Iron Bridge, Blind River, Echo Bay, Desbarats, St. Joseph Island and the Highway 17 corridor between Sault Ste. Marie and the North Channel.

## Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews

Excavation is a critical but routinely under-listed trade in remote rural areas — and Algoma District is no exception. Adding Harv’s gives the directory its **first dedicated excavation anchor on the Lake Huron North Shore** to sit alongside the four-anchor Algoma cluster opened last week ([St George & Sons](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/st-george-sons-construction-seamless-eavestroughs-ltd-general-contractor-seamless-eavestrough-specialist-in-elliot-lake-algoma-district-on/966), [Four Seasons Septic](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/four-seasons-septic-septic-tank-installation-repair-cleaning-in-blind-river-algoma-district-on/967), [Steamatic North Shore](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/steamatic-north-shore-water-fire-mould-damage-restoration-hvac-cleaning-in-blind-river-algoma-district-on/968), [S.A.
