The Armour Stone of Your Dreams: Fisher Excavating

The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and Fisher Excavating is ready for your call.

Spring has sprung, and it is during this season of fresh and new that we all begin to plan a little. Plans for travel and fun throughout the summer, for sure – but also, plans for new projects and upgrades, as well as maintenance for enjoyment of your property. Perhaps the snow melted and you noticed a recession in your shoreline, or that stone patio and walkway you’ve been dreaming about is calling your name, maybe your private road is begging for grading; Fisher Excavating is licensed and ready to work for you!

Specializing in shoreline work and Armour Stone, Fisher is top of the line in expertise for their field. For Fisher, the job isn’t as simple as showing up and doing a good job. Dwaine and his team are a well-oiled planning machine. They begin by walking prospective clients through every aspect of the job, often with the assistance of digital imaging to show what your finished project may look like. For stonework, all the materials are sourced and transported to Fishers shop location where the rock is meticulously measured and cut, piecing each angle together for the perfect fit. The stone is then transported to the job-site where all the appropriate groundwork has been laid, in preparation for the puzzle to be put together. Strategic planning is an absolute must when working with materials of such weight and magnitude.

If your planned project involves a boathouse and/or shoreline work, this requires a further field of expertise; one of the precarious balance between water and land. Dwaine Fisher understands 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. This allows him to work with contractors and builders, lending his expertise in order to avoid problems which could prove disastrous down the road. For example, did you know there are rules in place which prohibit disruption of the water sediment during certain months based on your area? With such a delicate equilibrium working on shorelines, Dwaine and his team consider details like these to be of the utmost importance when working with the environment. Fisher Excavating also looks after all permits needed to complete your project, and says that these integral permits can take 4-6 months to obtain. So if you are considering shoreline work this winter, now is the time to plan.

Dredging and barge work are also on the list of services Dwaine Fisher and his team offer. Dredging, an excavation activity usually carried out underwater in shallow areas, gathers up bottom sediments. For folks experiencing an accumulation of sediment at the shoreline, dredging might make the place you usually dock your boat easier to access – with the help of Fisher you will be able to moor your vessel without worry.

Fisher Excavating takes great pride in making sure that every job is done to code, with permits, and within the limits of environmental law.

Fisher says, “Every shoreline is unique, and requires careful thought and preparation. Our approach is distinctively different, let’s make your waterfront stand out.”
