Tuttle & Son’s Construction Ltd  
Amherst, Nova Scotia’s Family Owned Heavy Civil & Building Specialist

Rooted in over three decades of hands-on experience and a reputation built on rock solid reliability, Tuttle & Son’s Construction Ltd is Amherst’s go to partner for everything from earth moving to steel framed commercial builds. We blend old school craftsmanship where a handshake still means something with cutting edge techniques, ensuring every project, big or small, stands the test of time and tide.
 

-  Excavation  
  Precision site preparation is the foundation of any successful build. From exploratory digs to deep-foundation trenches, we deploy GPS guided equipment and seasoned operators to deliver exact depths, angles and soil stabilization.

-  Demolition  
  Whether you’re tearing down an old barn or stripping out a commercial shell, safety is front and centre. Our crew handles hazardous materials remediation, selective deconstruction and full-scale implosions always with dust-control measures and meticulous waste-sorting for recycling.

-  Road Building  
  From rural driveways to municipal arteries, we craft roadbeds that last. Our scope covers sub-grade compaction, granular base installation, asphalt paving and line-marking. The result? Smooth, durable surfaces built to withstand Atlantic Canada’s freeze-thaw cycles.

-  Septic Services   
  Designing and installing septic systems that respect both your property and provincial regulations. We offer site evaluation, tank selection, leach field construction and ongoing maintenance agreements to keep effluent flowing freely.

-  Pipe Work  
  Comprehensive water, sewer and storm-drain piping—from PVC trunk lines to heavy-duty ductile iron mains. We handle fittings, leak-testing and pressure certifications so your underground infrastructure performs reliably for decades.

-  Drainage  
  Uncontrolled water is a builder’s nemesis. We engineer swales, French drains and retention ponds that divert surface runoff, protect building envelopes and prevent soil erosion, all while blending into your landscape.

-  Sewer Contracting  
  Full-service sewer line installation, lining, repair and upsizing. Our trenchless technology options minimize disruption, and our CCTV inspections give you total clarity on pipe condition before we ever break ground.

-  Earth Works  
  Beyond basic digging, we offer large-scale land reclamation, topsoil placement, contouring and berm construction. Ideal for commercial pads, sports fields or any site requiring exact grading and compaction specs.

-  Residential Construction 
  From custom cottage builds to modern family homes, plus renovations and additions. We listen, we plan, we deliver ensuring energy efficiency, code compliance and finishes that reflect your style.

-  Commercial Construction 
  Retail outlets, professional offices, light industrial and warehouses. Our project managers, trades partners and quality-control systems coordinate permits, procurement and safety protocols so you hit your budget and timeline.
