ABOUT US
More Than Machines—
It’s the People That Build
Aarde Construction Ltd. was founded in 2012 by Josh Doornekamp, a civil engineer trained at the University of Ottawa, with extensive experience in heavy civil construction, major infrastructure projects, municipal contracts, and highway development. After working with some of Canada’s largest civil contractors, Josh saw the need for a company that could provide better, more efficient groundwork solutions to homeowners, municipalities, and commercial clients in Southeastern Ontario. With a focus on precision, innovation, and reliability, Aarde Construction was built to deliver end-to-end groundwork services with the latest technology and a hands-on, solutions-driven approach.
