Excavation in Norwood and the townships east of Peterborough
Norwood sits east of Peterborough in Asphodel-Norwood Township, a rural farming community along the Ouse River and Highway 7. Unlike the lake-lined towns to the north, Norwood is about country and agricultural land: large rural lots, farm properties, and country homes on private septic. That makes land clearing, septic installation, and rural site work the bread and butter here. We serve Norwood village and the surrounding Asphodel-Norwood and Havelock-area townships.
Rural septic and farm-lot work
Country properties around Norwood rely on private septic systems, and rural soils here range from clay to sand to rock, so each install needs its own design. We test the site, design to code, and install systems suited to the lot. On farm and acreage properties we also handle land and lot clearing, pond and drainage work, laneway preparation, and trenching for water and services. See septic installation · See land clearing.
Foundations and drainage on country lots
For new country homes, additions, and outbuildings, we do foundation excavation and full site prep on open rural lots, where the main variables are soil type, drainage, and how far material has to be hauled. We grade lots to move water away from buildings and keep laneways and yards dry through Kawartha winters and spring melt. Grading and fill may fall under the township by-law, which we confirm up front. See grading & drainage.
