What We Do.
Six core services, one crew that knows how to run them all. Excavation, demolition, screw piles, land clearing, skid steer work, and snow removal across Edmonton and surrounding areas.
Residential &
Commercial
Whether you're a homeowner breaking ground on a backyard project or a contractor managing a commercial build, we bring the same equipment, the same crew, and the same standard of work to every site. No project is too big or too small.
Excavating
Whether you need site preparation for a new build, basement excavation, trenching for water, sewer, or electrical lines, or precision lot grading, Bartel Excavating has the equipment and experience to get it done. Edmonton's clay-heavy soil and deep frost line require an operator who understands local ground conditions. We work on both residential and commercial projects across Edmonton, St. Albert, and surrounding areas, delivering clean and efficient results on every job. All utility locates are coordinated through Alberta One-Call before any ground disturbance.

- Backfilling and compaction
- Driveway and landscaping preparation

Demolition
From full structural tear-downs and foundation removal to concrete breaking and interior strip-outs, we handle demolition projects safely and efficiently. Our team follows all City of Edmonton permitting requirements and safety protocols, including proper utility disconnection and coordination with ATCO and EPCOR. Whether you're clearing a lot for new infill construction or removing an old driveway, we make sure your site is clean, safe, and ready for the next phase.

- Site cleanup and debris hauling
- Residential and commercial projects
Screw Piles
Screw piles are the go-to foundation solution in the Edmonton area, and for good reason. Alberta's deep frost line and clay soils make traditional concrete footings expensive and time-consuming. Helical screw piles are installed quickly using hydraulic equipment, can go in year-round regardless of weather, and are engineered to resist frost heave. Each pile is driven 8 to 10 feet below grade, well past the frost line, and torque is monitored during installation to confirm adequate bearing capacity. We handle complete screw pile installation for decks, garages, additions, fences, and commercial applications with minimal disturbance to your property.
- Decks, garages, additions, and fences
- Engineered to resist Alberta frost heave
- Year-round installation, even in winter
- Installed 8–10 feet below the frost line
- Minimal site disturbance, no large excavation needed
- Commercial and residential applications
Land Clearing
Need your lot or acreage cleared for new development? We remove trees, brush, stumps, and surface debris to get your property build-ready. Whether it's a residential infill lot in Edmonton, a new acreage homesite near St. Albert, or a commercial development, we handle the full scope: cutting, grubbing, and hauling so you have a clean slate to work with. We coordinate any required permits and comply with local tree removal guidelines.

Skid Steer Services
Our skid steer is one of the most versatile machines on any job site. Whether it's rough grading after an excavation, backfilling around a foundation, breaking up an old concrete driveway, or hauling materials through a tight backyard, skid steer services are built for the kind of work Edmonton properties demand. Compact enough for narrow infill lots and side yards in established neighbourhoods, but powerful enough to handle serious earthwork and material handling.
- Rough and finish grading
- Backfilling and material handling
- Concrete breaking and removal
- Tight-access work for infill lots and backyards
- Augering for posts, piles, and trees
- Year-round residential and commercial work
Snow Clearing
Edmonton averages over 120 cm of snowfall per season, and property owners are legally required to keep their sidewalks and access points clear. We provide reliable seasonal snow clearing for both residential and commercial properties: driveways, parking lots, walkways, and access roads. Consistent, on-time service from the first snowfall in October through spring, so your property stays safe, accessible, and bylaw-compliant all winter long.
- Driveways, walkways, and residential properties
- Commercial parking lots and access roads
- Seasonal contracts for consistent service
- Compliant with Edmonton and St. Albert snow bylaws
- Salting and ice control available
- On-call and emergency clearing
