Martin Services uses compact excavators, skid steers, and laser-guided grading equipment to handle residential and commercial grading projects across Powassan, North Bay, and surrounding areas. Having the right equipment is essential for grading work that is accurate, efficient, and causes minimal disruption to your property. Martin Services maintains a fleet of commercial-grade machines sized appropriately for residential and light commercial projects. Our equipment selection means we can handle everything from minor regrading around a foundation to full lot preparation for new construction or major landscaping projects.
Our Grading and Excavation Equipment
For most residential grading projects, we use compact excavators and skid steers that combine serious digging and grading power with a small enough footprint to work in backyards, between structures, and on properties with limited access. Compact excavators handle precise digging for French drains, trenches, foundation drainage, and retaining wall footings. Skid steers with grading attachments move and level large volumes of material quickly and can be fitted with various buckets, forks, and specialized attachments depending on the task. For finish grading, we use laser-guided systems that ensure accurate slope and elevation across the entire work area — this precision is critical for proper drainage and for preparing surfaces that will receive sod, seed, pavers, or other finished materials.
Right-Sized Equipment for Your Property
One of the advantages of working with Martin Services is that we match the equipment to your specific project and property conditions. We do not show up with an oversized machine that tears up your lawn getting to the work area, and we do not use undersized equipment that drags the job out longer than necessary. For tight-access properties — narrow side yards, gated backyards, or properties surrounded by landscaping — we use our most compact machines and plan access routes that minimize disruption. For larger lots and more extensive grading projects, we bring in larger equipment that can move material faster. With 35 years of experience in the Powassan and North Bay area, we know the soil conditions, drainage patterns, and common grading challenges on local properties and bring the right tools to handle each situation efficiently.
