We Move Dirt

Excavation, site preparation, engineered retaining walls, and drainage — heavy construction and earthworks built to spec for residential and commercial properties across the North Okanagan.
Safety is our #1 priority on every dig. From foundation excavations to site preparation — safe work procedures in place, best possible result on time and on budget.
Gravity stacked or engineered, from large industrial blocks to premium designer materials — we build retaining walls that are functional, beautiful, and built to last.
Water issues around your foundation or driveway? We repair and redirect. Custom sloping and drainage packages designed for your property’s specific needs.
Keep your property in peak condition year-round. From seasonal cleanup and grading to erosion control and ongoing site care — we help protect your investment long after the project is done.
Unique property line you’re not sure what to do with? Perfect. Custom landscapes are one of our most popular services — your vision, our expertise.
Hardscape landscapes that add value and require minimal maintenance, or traditional sod for the classic look. All products locally sourced from the Okanagan.

“JRO completely transformed our sloped backyard — what was an unusable disaster is now a beautiful terraced garden with retaining walls and a stone walkway. Best money I’ve ever spent on my property.”
“We had a serious drainage problem around our foundation for years. James came out, assessed everything, and fixed it in two days. The crew was professional, clean, and knew exactly what they were doing.”
“Great work, on time, and on budget. The retaining wall they built is exactly what we needed and it looks incredible. Would absolutely recommend JRO to anyone in the Okanagan.”
