Excavation, retaining walls, concrete and high end landscaping builds across Vancouver Island.
A failing retaining wall, raw acreage, or a yard you've been meaning to redo. We take projects start to finish and hand them off done right.
Raw land, rough lots, everything between. We dig it, grade it, and hand it off ready for whatever comes next.
02Small garden walls to tall engineered builds. Block, boulder, or poured. Whatever holds your grade.
03Driveways, slabs, walkways, footings. Formed and poured on site with a clean finish that holds up.
04New installs, extensions, and replacements in gravel, concrete, or asphalt. Done right from the base up.
05The backyard you actually want to spend time in. Stone, pavers, fire pits, walkways. Built to last.
06Overgrown acreage, wooded lots, rough terrain. We clear it, haul it out, and cut the access road in.
07Keep water out of your basement and away from your foundation. Full replacements and new installs.
08Natural-looking ponds, waterfalls, and stream beds. Built in so they feel like they've always been there.
09Dead trees, dangerous trees, trees in the way. Down, hauled out, cleaned up. No mess left behind.
A property the homeowners couldn't even use, just a steep dirt slope behind the house, turned into a real backyard their kids actually play in. This is what a full transformation looks like.





Four years ago, Michael walked into Home Depot, bought a shovel and a rake, and started Black Mountain Dirt Works. One truck. One phone. A lot of hours and a lot of learning along the way. The business has grown fast since then on repeat customers, referrals, and steady work across Vancouver Island.
The same guy who started this company is the one answering your call today.
Hands-on and owner-operated from day one. When you call Black Mountain, you're talking to the person who'll be on site. It keeps things direct and makes it easier to figure things out as the project moves along.

I believe I called on Wednesday and all work and clean up was completed by Sunday. We are so happy to have our backyard again!"
"Above expectation service! We highly recommend Michael and Black Mountain Dirt Works. Michael's work ethic and suggestions meant our project was completed on time with a finished project beyond our satisfaction. Neighbours walking by have stopped to compliment the work."
"What a great experience. Always on time. Great communication and goes above and beyond. Can't wait for the next project."
Every project follows the same path. Just a conversation to see if we're a fit.
Whether that's an email, a DM, responding to an ad, or calling us directly, get in touch and we'll get the details of your job and make sure it's something we can help you with.
If it's a good fit, we come look at the property and put together a plan that works for the space and your budget.
Once we've agreed on the plan, we get started, and we keep you posted as things move along.
