Dreaming of Summer Days: Fisher Excavating
Dreaming of summer days is good fuel to get your spring projects rolling. Often landscaping ideas are creeping into our minds as the snow melts and we see the grass and soil peeking through. It is also the season for new builds; as the ground thaws ground can be broken for foundations. Whether it’s landscaping, building or new dredging at your waterfront property, there are many steps needed for your project to take place. Permits need to be pulled and so forth. Fisher Excavating takes great pride in making sure that the jobs done around your property are done to code, with permits, and within the limits of environmental law. 
Dwaine Fisher is a long-standing resident of Kawartha Lakes, the folks there know the Fisher family well and they have been steadfast members of Lindsay and Kawartha Lakes business community since husband and wife, Dwaine and Lindsey Fisher started business in 2006. Since then, their business has expanded from a few machines to a full lineup of equipment, including a full-service barge, and a 72″ rock saw that mounts to their 140 excavator for cutting shoreline stone. Other equipment in their fleet includes a long reach excavator, and a 210 excavator that holds a brush head capable of turning everything in its path to wood chips. They also possess hammers for the excavators and a D8 Dozer for larger rock jobs, plus a road grader – perfect for cottage road maintenance.
Home base for the Fisher Excavating family has recently moved, they now call the perfect property just outside of Fenelon Falls toward Bobcaygeon home to their fleet of equipment. This new home for the machinery also includes a large insulated shop, which means that all of Fishers machinery can be maintained and fixed on-site.
This new location doesn’t change their serviceable area though, they still make themselves available for work from Lake Scugog right to Haliburton, and Dwaine and his staff always work closely with your other contractors for a seamless experience.
For the Fisher team, the job doesn’t begin when the equipment moves onsite – it begins long before that by walking the customer through all aspects of the project, whether it is a septic system, shoreline improvement, or other excavation project; you can expect the best in customer service from Dwaine and his team.
For every job, the Fisher team arrange for all required assessments and permits to ease their customers peace of mind. “As a construction business owner, we understand that we need to have insurance on our machines and our workers, but many people don’t know that environmental insurance is required when a construction company would like to work on and around any waterways.” says Dwaine.
If it is shoreline work you are thinking about, Dwaine’s field of expertise includes his understanding of local water levels and the ramifications of changes in those levels. He has an excellent working relationship with Trent-Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority, and understands their perspectives on shoreline conservation and habitat protection. For instance, did you know there are rules in place which prohibit disruption of the water sediment during certain months based on your area? Maintaining this delicate balance when working between water and land is of the utmost importance when working with the environment. Dwaine has a great perspective on shoreline conservation as well as important habitat protection, and takes all of this into consideration when planning the work on your property.
If it is a septic you need; spring is a great time to get this work done before the warmer summer months arrive, and Fisher is fully licenced to take care of septic work for you. It is also a great time for work at the cottage that requires a barge to bring in machinery that might not get there without water access.
From residential to commercial, grading and dredging to concrete work, river rock, armour stone and so much more, Fisher Excavating and Grading is proud to serve Kawartha Lakes.
