Our Story & Local Expertise

Understanding Strathmore and Chestermere's unique soil challenges and building requirements has been the foundation of our success for nearly two decades.

Deep Local Knowledge

Strathmore's gumbo soil and Chestermere's lakefront properties present unique challenges that require specialized knowledge and experience. Over 19 years, we've mastered the techniques needed to work effectively with Alberta's challenging terrain and weather conditions.

From understanding proper drainage solutions for clay-heavy soil to navigating local building codes and permit requirements, our deep local expertise ensures projects are completed correctly the first time.

Why Local Experience Matters

  • Understanding of regional soil composition and drainage requirements
  • Knowledge of local building codes and permit processes
  • Weather-adaptive scheduling and construction techniques
  • Established relationships with local suppliers and inspectors

Professional Evolution

What began as a small excavation service has evolved into a comprehensive land development partner. We've continuously invested in professional-grade equipment, safety training, and industry certifications to serve our growing client base.

Today, Ragnarok Excavation combines the personal attention of a local family business with the capabilities and professionalism that large commercial projects demand.
