What is Excavation & Shoring?
Excavation is the process of moving earth to prepare a site for construction, while shoring involves installing temporary support structures to prevent soil or walls from collapsing during the dig. At A & A Setting Stone, we handle both with precision and care — ensuring your foundation, basement, or new structure has a safe and stable base to build from. Whether it's a new build, an underpinning project, or a deep foundation repair, our crew has the equipment and expertise to get it done right.
Our 3 Step Process
1. Site Evaluation & Planning
We assess the soil conditions, depth requirements, and surrounding structures before any digging begins. Safety and precision come first.
2. Excavation & Shoring Installation
Our crew excavates to the required depth while installing shoring systems to stabilize the surrounding soil and protect your property throughout the process.
3. Site Handoff & Cleanup
Once complete, we ensure the site is clean, safe, and fully prepared for the next phase of your construction project.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"I thought I knew what hardworking was"
"I tought I knew what "hard working" means but Bledi, Eric and their team raised the bar so high that I have to reconsider. I had a chance to use their expertise for my house in midtown Toronto and work with no one else as long as they are in business of helping the client with every aspect of the construction project."
- Babak Sharaji
"Amazed by the driveway"
"Totally amazed by the driveway that they did for me! The crew was professional, showed up on time every day, and kept the work area clean throughout the whole project. The finished result exceeded my expectations — the stonework looks absolutely incredible and has completely transformed the front of my home. I've already had neighbors ask me who did the work. Will definitely be calling A & A Setting Stone again for my backyard patio!"
- Ermal Kamperi
"Professional, Clean, & On-Time"
"We hired A & A Setting Stone for our basement underpinning and waterproofing. From the first call to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, transparent, and did exceptional work. Our basement has never been drier. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Toronto area."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions homeowners and businesses ask us before starting an excavation or shoring project.
Question 1: What is the difference between excavation and shoring?
Excavation is the process of digging and removing earth to prepare a site for construction. Shoring is the temporary support system we install to prevent surrounding soil or walls from collapsing during the dig. Both work together to keep your project safe and structurally sound.
Question 2: Do I need a permit for excavation & shoring?
Yes, most excavation projects require a permit from the City of Toronto. Our team will walk you through the permit requirements and ensure all work meets Ontario Building Code standards before we break ground.
Question 3: How deep can you excavate?
Our team is equipped to handle excavations of varying depths depending on your project requirements — from shallow foundation digs to deep basement lowering projects. We assess each site individually and recommend the safest and most efficient approach.
Question 4: How do you protect my property during excavation?
We install proper shoring systems before and during excavation to stabilize surrounding soil and protect your foundation, landscaping, and neighboring structures throughout the entire process.
Question 5: How long does an excavation project take?
Most residential excavation projects take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on the depth, soil conditions, and scope of work. We'll give you a clear and honest timeline during your free site assessment.
