Serving Ladysmith and surrounding areas on Vancouver Island.
Ladysmith sits between Nanaimo and Duncan, and its hillside terrain makes it a natural fit for the kind of work we do. Retaining walls, slope stabilization, drainage, and excavation are essential on many properties here. The town's growth has brought new construction and renovation projects, and homeowners want contractors who understand how to build on sloped, challenging sites.
Black Mountain Dirt Works is an owner-operated excavation and landscaping company serving Ladysmith and all of Vancouver Island. We work directly with homeowners and property owners on everything from backyard transformations to full site preparation for new builds. We try to approach every job the same way — carefully, and with the same attention we'd put into our own place.
