Excavation, Grading and Gravel Installation in Toronto and the GTA
Every good paving job starts with the ground underneath it. Along with our asphalt, concrete and interlock work, Metro Wide Paving provides excavation, grading and gravel installation for homes and businesses across Toronto and the GTA. We have been doing this work as a family-owned company since 1986.
Excavation
When soil, damaged pavers, old concrete, asphalt or other materials need to come out, we are the dependable choice. Our excavation work includes:
Driveways, parking lots and paved areas such as paths and walkways
Foundations and basements
Swimming pools
Lot clearing, including tree, stump and root removal
Disposal of demolition debris
We own specialized equipment that fits the tight spaces typical of residential lots, plus heavy equipment from trusted names like Bobcat and John Deere for larger commercial excavation.
Grading
Grading creates a level base, or a precise slope, for anything built on your property: foundations, landscaping, driveways and parking lots. It is one of the most important steps in any outdoor project because it decides where water goes. Grading can also fix drainage problems after the fact, such as water pooling against a foundation after hardscaping was installed. We have the earth-moving machinery and specialized tools to create a flat base or exact slope wherever you need it.
Gravel Installation
Whether you need gravel as a driveway base or stone for a decorative border, our experienced operators install it quickly and precisely. We handle residential and commercial landscaping, paths and walkways, and garden borders.
What It Looks Like in Practice
For a homeowner, it might mean removing tree stumps, filling the holes and levelling an uneven backyard with topsoil so it is ready for sod, then finishing the edges with gravel or crushed stone. For a commercial client, it often means removing and disposing of cracked concrete, then grading, adding gravel and compacting to create a solid base before new pavement goes down.
