Tait Bros Contracting Ltd — Agricultural Drainage, Excavation & Earthworks Specialist in East Luther Grand Valley, ON (family-run since 1955)
Tait Bros Contracting Ltd — previously listed as a generalist contractor — is in fact a multi-generation agricultural-drainage, excavation and earthworks specialist based at 074649 Side Road 24-25, East Luther Grand Valley, ON L9W 0J5. The firm’s drainage roots trace to 1955, when the Tait family began installing field drainage for southwestern Ontario farmers near the Grand River; brothers John, Steven and Willard Tait later consolidated the work as Tait Brothers Contracting. This listing is a scope-correction from “general contractor” to what the firm actually does: custom drainage design and installation across agricultural and municipal sites.
Services (scope-corrected)
- Agricultural drainage design and installation (field tile, mains, sub-mains, outlet stabilisation)
- Municipal drainage and stormwater-outlet work on Drainage-Act projects
- Excavation, open-ditch digging and trenching for rural infrastructure
- Erosion-control structures and swale-and-berm grading
- Backhoe and bulldozer work, including site prep for farm-building pads
- Drainage-tile repairs on previously installed systems
Equipment & operations
The firm manufactures much of its own drainage-plow equipment in-house — uncommon for a Dufferin-county outfit and part of why its cost per metre has stayed competitive through multiple generations of Tait ownership. USDOT listing 1010759 reflects their interprovincial haul capacity for project moves.
Service area
Northern and Southern Ontario, with a strong concentration across Dufferin County, Wellington County and the Grand Valley watershed, plus project moves as far as Northern Ontario farm country.
