Working in and around environmentally sensitive areas requires specialized procedures, monitoring coordination and the right equipment. TDS Civil performs environmental excavation and remediation, removes contaminated material to approved facilities, and executes works near streams, wetlands and riparian zones in compliance with provincial and municipal environmental requirements.
Our trail works division builds durable, accessible trails for municipalities, parks and private landowners across the Fraser Valley — including machine-built gravel trails, boardwalk subgrades and sensitive-area brush clearing. We also undertake ecological retention pond cleaning and habitat-related pond restoration where environmental values are the priority.

How Does Our Environmental & Trails Process Work?
Every environmental services & trail works project we take on follows the same disciplined process we have refined since 2010. It starts with a free on-site assessment, where we review access, soil and ground conditions before issuing a clear written quote — so you know the full scope and cost before any work begins.
Once approved, our experienced operators mobilise with our own modern, well-maintained fleet, so you are never left waiting on subcontractors. We sequence environmental excavation, environmental remediation, contaminated material removal and the remaining works to municipal engineering and WorkSafeBC safety standards, coordinating permits and inspections wherever they are required. Because TDS Civil self-performs the full range of environmental & trails in-house, you deal with one accountable team from the first cut through to final cleanup and handover.
Environmental & Trails costs vary with project size, ground conditions and site access, so we never quote blind. Request a free, no-obligation estimate and we respond within one business day.
