The Fundraiser Event
Come out and support the QSS Class of 2026 at the Beer & Burger Fundraiser — silent auction, 50/50, and cash raffle tickets all in one great evening. See the poster below for full details:
The Auction Item
Dandy Excavations has donated one full day of mini excavator and operator work to the QSS Dry Grad silent auction. That’s owner-operator Brian Hay, 35+ years of experience, and a machine that can genuinely transform your property — all yours for the day.
What can a day do?
- Clear a blackberry infestation — roots and all
- Regrade a driveway that’s been losing the battle with Island winters
- Dig a foundation or trench for a new project
- Build a rock retaining wall on a sloped property
- Fix a drainage problem that’s been causing grief for years
- Reclaim an overgrown corner of your property
- Prepare a site for construction or landscaping
These are just some ideas — read on to see the full range of what Dandy Excavations can do for your property.
About Dandy Excavations
Dandy Excavations Inc. is a Nanaimo-based excavating and land clearing contractor serving homeowners across Mid Vancouver Island. Every job is done by owner-operator Brian Hay — the person you call is the person who shows up and runs the machine. No crews, no middlemen, no surprises.
Brian grew up around heavy equipment and has been working in the industry since he was fifteen. Over the decades he has worked across Western Canada — from residential lots to large-scale earthworks in remote conditions. He brings that depth of experience to every job, no matter the size.
“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing dandy.”
