About

Honest Work, Done the Right Way.

The name Dandy comes from an old saying: “That’s a real dandy job.” It meant work done properly — with care, pride, and skill. That spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

Dandy Excavations Inc. was founded in Nanaimo to offer dependable, hands-on excavating, landscaping and land clearing services to homeowners across Mid-Vancouver Island. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just solid work done the way it should be by owner-operator Brian Hay

We’ve built our reputation on:

• Honest communication
• Clean, safe worksites
• Fair pricing
• Respect for the land and our clients

Whether we’re pulling out blackberries by the root or shaping ground for a new home, we take the same approach: steady, skilled, and grounded in craftsmanship. We know the soil, the slopes, and the challenges of Vancouver Island — and when the job’s done right, it shows.

Around here, Dandy still means quality work, done with pride.
