About Us

Retro Terra Excavation

Benn was born and raised in the oceanside community, then left to work and gained a more extensive knowledge of various branches within the excavation industry with a dream of one day returning. Moving back to Vancouver Island to raise our children was an obvious choice for our family given the beauty and diversity that is available at our doorstep. In a short period of time, we knew that our drive, morals, and ethics ensured an open door to the opportunity to provide an unparalleled client experience that this community deserves. Retro Terra Excavation was born; we chose the name based on our old “Retro” earth “Terra” principles when a person’s word and handshake held strong value and meaning. We offer a proactive safety culture while maintaining productivity through knowledge and efficiency. We will provide quality service where clients are never left waiting or wondering if they will receive that callback.
