Rock Breaking Services in Nanaimo and on Vancouver Island

Rock is not as universally prevalent in Nanaimo as it is in the Okanagan, but it is a regular factor on Vancouver Island projects — particularly in North Nanaimo, parts of Lantzville, hillside properties above the city, and rural properties throughout the region. When the excavator bucket hits rock, a contractor without breaker capability either stops the job or calls in a subcontractor. We carry our own hydraulic breaker attachments and integrate rock breaking into projects without delay.

Where Rock Is Commonly Encountered Near Nanaimo

  • North Nanaimo and Lantzville hillside properties
  • Properties on the plateau above Hammond Bay and Departure Bay
  • Rural properties in the Regional District of Nanaimo
  • Hillside properties in Cedar and south of the city
  • Foundation digs that extend below shallow soil into volcanic basalt

Rock Breaking for All Project Types

We integrate rock breaking into foundation excavations, utility trenches, retaining wall footings, pool digs, and driveway preparation. Rather than treating rock as an unexpected problem, we assess for it before quoting and price it honestly. If rock is likely on your site, we tell you before the machine starts digging.
