About Georgian Bay Siteworks: Builder-Quality Site Work

Georgian Bay Siteworks is the natural extension of our life’s work. For more than 45 years our family has built custom homes in Ontario under ICFHome.ca, including 42 homes in Tiny Township since 2005, — and the site work that makes those homes possible is what we do here.

Why owners choose us

  • We are home builders first — not just machine operators. We prepare ground the way a builder needs it.
  • Everything in-house — our own excavators, skid steers, dump trailers, stump grinder and portable sawmill.
  • No subcontractor gaps — we schedule the work, so your project stays on track.
  • Build-ready, not just cleared — elevation, drainage, trenching and a stable base, done right the first time.

For more than 45 years, our family has been building custom homes in Ontario, and since 2005 across the Georgian Bay region, under ICFHome.ca. Most of those homes were built in the countryside — on raw, wooded lots that had to be cleared, levelled, graded and prepared before a single footing could be poured.

Over the decades we realized something simple but important: the quality of a build depends heavily on the quality of the site work beneath it. So instead of relying on outside contractors with varying standards, we invested in doing it ourselves — properly, carefully, and with a builder’s foresight. What started as a necessity became a specialty, and Georgian Bay Siteworks was formed to offer that same builder-quality land preparation to homeowners, cottage owners and new-construction clients across the region.

A builder’s mindset on every site

We aren’t just running machines — we are thinking about the house, the driveway, the septic and the drainage that come after us. Every grade line, every trench and every load of fill is placed with the finished build in mind. We stand behind our work because our name is on it.

The difference: most land-clearing outfits remove trees and rough-grade the ground. Because we build homes, we prepare each site the same way we would for one of our own builds — so there is no rework, no surprises, and no “fix it later” costs.

Everything done in-house

We own and run our own fleet — excavators, skid steers, dump trailers, a stump grinder and a portable sawmill — so we are not waiting on subcontractors and not rushing jobs to fit someone else’s schedule. One crew, one standard, from the first tree down to the final graded lot. The portable sawmill even lets us turn the good logs off your own land into usable lumber rather than hauling them away.

Site preparation done right — start to finish

When a site leaves our hands it is genuinely ready to build on. That means:

Proper elevation planning

The site set to the right elevations for the build and the lot.

Correct drainage slope

Ground shaped so water moves away from the build, not toward it.

Clean trenching & services

Footings, water, septic and utility trenches placed to line and grade.

A stable, compacted base

Driveway approach and building pad compacted and ready for construction.
