Your Outdoor Oasis with Fisher Excavating

Do you have a shoreline property where the water line is slowly creeping toward your buildings? Shoreline erosion is something that we deal with as waves, wind and boat traffic eat away at the shoreline of your property. 

Climate change can have an impact on your shoreline as well, with rising temperatures causing faster ice melt and more extreme weather events. Erosion not only washes away your precious shoreline, but can also lead to loss of wildlife habitat as well. 

What can I do about this, you ask?

Fisher Excavating has been protecting against shoreline erosion for years. Owner Dwaine Fisher works closely with environmental organizations like Otonabee Region Conservation Authority (ORCA), Kawartha Conservation, The Trent Severn Waterway, and The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to ensure the utmost care for the environment is taken when planning and installing armour stone retaining walls. 

Built along the shoreline, retaining walls are a permanent structure that protect against erosions and flooding – Fisher Excavating has an expert crew ready to install a custom armour stone retaining wall on your waterfront to protect the structural integrity of buildings and other assets you may have close to the edge of the water. Not only will you be protecting your waterfront from erosion but a well-built retaining wall can  enhance the look of your waterfront property as well. 

Perhaps your cottage resides on an island – erosion can be a scary idea when you think of how much shoreline you are losing. Preserving your family cottage with erosion control can mean years and years of continued enjoyment with peace of mind that your investment will remain. 

Shorelines aren’t all Fisher Excavating does! They are licensed septic installers, so if you need an upgrade whether island or mainland, Dwain and his team will pull all permits for a seamless installation.

If you have thoughts of building, hiring an expert to excavate the site is an essential first step; Fisher excavating has all the equipment to set the stage for your new build. Dwaine works closely with both contractors  and property owners to ensure a cohesive team – project deadlines and plans are always met to the highest quality.

No matter the job, Fishers whole team will help to walk you through every aspect of your job, often with the help of digital imaging to show what your finished project will look like.
