Build the system specified for the site
A mound is a designed dispersal arrangement with particular media, distribution and surface requirements. Adding ordinary fill is not equivalent to building or repairing that system.
For a new installation, send the design and available site assessment. For a replacement, include the findings identifying why the existing bed needs work and which components can remain.
Define the excavator work
- Access that protects the existing system and suitable working area.
- Material removal, site preparation and the agreed footprint.
- Specified sand, aggregate and distribution components.
- Delivery, excavation, placement and the agreed construction sequence.
- Final grade, surface finish and responsibilities for other trades.
Typical sand-mound installation cost
Tim’s typical planning range is $45,000–$55,000 CAD. This is an average installation range, not a fixed quote or repair allowance. Ask the estimate to identify materials, design responsibilities, reinstatement and applicable GST.
Repairing an existing mound or raised bed
A broken connection, localised damage and a dispersal area that needs replacement have different scopes. The cause should be identified before changing the mound’s profile or materials. Tim can discuss a defined excavation repair, a reconstructed section or a replacement installation using the relevant assessment and plan.
