The Michell team is a dedicated and diverse crew. Around 50 people strong, we're mechanics, machine operators, labourers, truck drivers, and office and operations staff. We may have different specialties, but we share much in common: a can-do, hands-on approach to our work and an unwavering loyalty to the company and to each other. At Michell Excavating, we believe that our power is in our people, so we truly invest in one another with training, mentorship, and plenty of opportunities to grow.
Services
Vancouver Island born and bred, we're a fourth-generation family business. Everything we do is shaped by our history and experience, and we're proud to serve the needs of industry professionals and homeowners alike. With our large fleet of equipment and experienced operators, we can tackle any job, from the largest commercial and civil works to residential landscaping projects.
We do excavation for commercial, civil, and residential projects. No job is too big or too small, as our range of equipment lets us do it all: from performing bulk excavations to squeezing into the tightest spaces. Our excavation services include bulk excavations, road prep, residential landscaping, house excavations, subdivisions, civil pipework, site servicing, and backfilling.
Our goal is to provide you with the perfect material for your construction and landscaping projects. We work with local suppliers to source a wide range of aggregates, and we produce our own soils, mulches, and manures. Our topsoils, specially formulated for Vancouver Island terrain, are tested every month in Vancouver, creating superior products landscape architects can rely on.
Premium Garden Blend, a rich blend of organics that is most commonly used in flower beds and vegetable gardens. Natural plant food, this blend requires no other fertilizer to produce optimum plant growth. Lawn Blend, which comes with extra sand, is particularly good for lawn prep and helps with root growth and drainage.
At Michell Excavating, our employees are family. When you join the team, you can expect varied, dynamic work in a supportive environment and dedicated colleagues who bring a standard of excellence to their every task. You'll also find room to grow-most of our operators had their start as labourers, and many of us have been a part of the company for decades.

Live the self serve area with the drop box for payment. I am also able to pull in with the trailer and they can load it up when i need a bigger load. Office gal at the window was a bit abrupt in taking payment and answering questions. Perhaps she was at the end of a long week or the new safety procedures were a stress point for her. Will be back for sure.
