You were here when you said you would be. You got the job done. The price was reasonable. I will have no hesitation recommending you to friends or calling you back if I need your services again.”

“I hired Maxx Contracting to construct an Allan Block series of landscaping walls. It is gorgeous, and the workmanship was outstanding. I would not hesitate for a second to hire them again.”
★★★★★
“Working with Brandon at Maxx Contracting was an excellent experience that I highly recommend. He was responsive, professional, and transparent. His quotes are very competitive. Brandon and his crew showed up early and worked late to get our project done on schedule and on budget. We hired them to to construct an 8 foot engineered lock block retaining wall. This involved a huge excavation that was done cleanly and efficiently. We were struck by the painstaking care that was taken to ensure the wall was straight and level. Afterwards, we had Brandon and the crew renovate a gravel driveway, re-grade a yard, dig some trenches, and do other small jobs - all while we were out of town on vacation. Brandon sent frequent photos and texts, called me daily, and ensured the work was done properly despite our not being there. If you need any excavation projects done, big or small, give Brandon at Maxx a call. They simply get it done!”
★★★★★
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Maxx Contractors for our front landscaping project, which included the construction of a beautiful three-tiered Allan Block wall. Brandon and his crew were exceptional throughout the entire process. They demonstrated extensive knowledge, a strong work ethic, and the utmost professionalism in every aspect of the job. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with our new front yard. We highly recommend Maxx Contractors for anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliable service.”
★★★★★
“Excellent! Appreciate the quality of workmanship. Steve and his crew completed a project on the outside of our home from start to finish including cleanup the crew worked in a professional and respectful manner. Jane and Bryan Muise”

“I'd like to take a moment here to rave about the fantastic experience I had with Brandon and his team. We used this company's services for a backyard overhaul. The first time Brandon came by for an estimate, I was so impressed by his thoughtful questions and attention to detail to make sure that he understood exactly what I was looking for. On our first meeting he even showed photos of the various rocks he offers to make sure I would be happy with the colours, sizes and textures. Throughout his time working at our home he was polite, showed up on time, worked incredibly hard and had fantastic communication skills. His whole crew was a joy to work with. I threw so many curve balls at Brandon and his team with many new ideas they hadn't tackled before. Nevertheless, they rolled with every idea and blew the execution out of the park! I am so captivated by how they transformed our space in only 3.5 short days. I could not recommend this company more highly for hardscaping/landscaping or backyard renovations! Thank you Brandon and team!”
★★★★★
“Hard working team! Fantastic job!”
★★★★★
“Brandon has done a few jobs for me now and is always courteous and professional while doing a terrific job in a timely manner. He cleans up and checks in to ensure you are happy with the job. I highly recommend MaxxContracting.”
FAQ
Questions about playground installation
Are you certified to install playgrounds?
Yes. Maxx Contracting is certified as a Canadian Certified Playground Inspector (CCPI) through the Canadian Playground and Recreation Association (CPRA). That means we install to the CSA playground safety standards, which matters for schools, municipalities, stratas, and daycares that carry liability for public play spaces.
What's involved in a playground installation?
We handle the whole job: site preparation and grading, layout to the equipment plan, equipment installation, and safety surfacing. Because we are a site-work contractor, the excavation, drainage, and base work a safe playground needs are done in-house.
What safety surfacing options do you install?
We install the common fall-protection surfaces, including poured rubber, rubber tiles, and engineered wood fibre, sized to the equipment fall height to meet CSA requirements. We recommend the right surface for your budget, use level, and maintenance preference.
Who do you install playgrounds for, and where?
We install for schools, municipalities and parks, stratas and HOAs, and daycares across Vancouver Island and throughout British Columbia. If you are planning a new or replacement play space, get in touch to discuss the site.
