We can offer the efficiencies and cost savings associated with a complete stream crossing package to clients and land owners including site surveys, design work, supply and installation of the bridge, and all associated paperwork and permits. If specialized equipment is required, we are connected to industry resources that will supply everything we need to get your job done.  Bridges are our specialty, so call us to discuss your upcoming stream crossing project.

We provide equipment for land clearing and earthworks for site development. If you are developing you land for a new home site, shop or barn, water or electrical lines, etc., please give us a call to discuss your project. We would be happy to assist you.

If you have a new driveway or need to upgrade you existing driveway or access road, we can assist you. Past projects have included driveway widening, slope/grade reduction, importing and compacting fill to engineers specifications, culvert placement, preparation for paving, etc. When required we can survey your site and design a new driveway or access road to meet upgrading requirements for grade, width, and junctions to other roads.

We can work with your plans in paper or digital (AutoCAD) format, for orient your home on your site to maximize views, privacy, tree retention, etc. We can survey and stake out your home site in order for you to visualize the location of your home and rooms on your building site. In past projects, we have completed a topographic survey or the owners home site to create a 3-D terrain model, then overlaid the computer drafted home plans on the model to check basement elevations, foundation wall heights, driveway grade and access into the garage, gravity and pumped system septic field drainage, orientation, and location to adjacent lot lines, bedrock location, etc.

We complete site surveys generating a 3-D model with contours of your site, then plan out and design your retaining wall based on your needs. We can design and build walls with rock, a variety of concrete blocks, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems, geotextile re-inforced soil (GRS) systems, wood timbers, steel, and other material systems depending on your needs and budget requirements. A critical step initially over looked by many customers is the survey and design phase of the retaining wall project. The initial cost associated with spending some time to plan and design your wall, and chose the right construction materials, will almost always result in a cost savings on your total project cost. Generally, the larger your wall, the greater the cost savings will be as a result of planning and designing your wall. 

Our equipment is available for preparing your site for your intended development and end use. We can offer a variety of equipment to help you, and can bring in additional specialize equipment when required. We sub-contract experienced WCB certified tree fallers when required, and can also bring in a rock drill or hammer for sites with bedrock that must be moved of prepared for building sites or road access.

Since 2005, Boxwood has been providing forestry road maintenance services to a variety of clients, and has successfully completed multi-year road inspection and maintenance contracts with BC Timber Sales in both the interior and at on the coast of BC. Equipment projects have ranged in size and scope, and some have required prescription and design work to be completed prior to construction. Having the expertise to complete these prescriptions and to complete the equipment work has resulted in significant cost and time savings for clients in the past, and greatly reduced the need for intensive equipment supervision costs. Some examples of past projects include cutslope buttressing and stabilization, road re-surfacing, road upgrades, road deactivation, culvert replacement, ditch cleaning, cutslope slump removal, wash out and landslide clean up and road repair, grading and snow plowing, road side brushing, signage replacement and repair, road surface sediment control, sump construction and fish stream protection from ditch water. If you are a forest or resource road permit hold, or a land owner responsible for maintaining a road system, we have the equipment and experience to help you.

Resource road bridge maintenance can be completed by our experienced crews. Past projects and included approach widening and pot hole filling, guard rail replacement, timber deck replacement, concrete deck repair, needle beam placement, and complete bridge removal and re-building.

Waterfront projects such as retaining walls along lake front property and driveway bridges over creeks and rivers require considerable experience and attention to detail in order to ensure you are not building on crown land and you have the necessary permits and paperwork required in order to comply with many applicable laws and regulations governing construction at the waterfront riparian areas. The consequences in not ensuring you are in compliance with these laws can be significant financial fines and orders to remove your newly constructed project. We have experience working on waterfront projects with government agencies and legal land surveyors, to ensure your project will be a success. Call us to discuss your next waterfront project.
