What We Build
Concrete, interlock, landscaping, and full property work, handled by one team and supervised end to end.
ASPHALT REPAIR
Crack sealing, pothole patching, and full resurfacing that restore driveways and lots before small damage turns into a costly tear-out.
EXCAVATION
Site prep, grading, and digging done with the right machines and the right operators, clean, accurate, and ready for whatever gets built next.
SOD
Fresh sod laid on a properly graded base, so your lawn roots in fast and looks finished from the day we leave the site.
LANDSCAPING
Designed and built outdoor spaces that lift your curb appeal, make the yard easier to enjoy, and add real value to the property.
FOUNDATION REPAIR
Crack repair, waterproofing, and structural reinforcement that protect the most important part of your home from water, settling, and time.
INTERLOCK SERVICES
Driveways, walkways, patios, and commercial paths installed and restored with proper base prep, precision leveling, polymeric sand, and sealing built to last.
Where Most Projects Go Wrong
Construction fails when the process gets sloppy.
Most project problems are not random. They come from weak planning, scattered communication, and crews who only react after the delay is already costing you. We solve that with tighter site control, clearer reporting, and execution that stays accountable from day one to handoff.
01
The Problem
Projects slow down because nobody has a clean view of what's happening on site.
Material updates, trade schedules, and owner decisions get scattered across calls, texts, and stray notes, so the team finds out about a delay after it has already cost a day.
How We Fix It
We tighten communication before delays can compound.
We set the scope clearly, sequence the trades early, and keep reporting structured so decisions get made before they hold up the build.
02
The Problem
Budget drift starts when small misses turn into expensive rework.
Vague scopes, rushed handoffs between trades, and weak site supervision create mistakes that are cheap to prevent and painful to fix later.
How We Fix It
We build control into the work, not just the finish.
Our process catches details early, aligns trades properly, and trims waste, so the budget keeps moving toward progress instead of patching mistakes.
03
The Problem
Clients lose trust the moment updates only show up after something goes wrong.
A lot of contractors communicate well before kickoff, then go quiet until there is a delay, an invoice issue, or a quality problem to explain.
How We Fix It
We keep visibility high from the first call to the final handoff.
You get clearer updates, cleaner accountability, and a project rhythm where the next step is always obvious, never a guess.
Meet The Builders
Meet The Dirani's
Aly and Prince Dirani came to Canada from Lebanon and left a lot behind, but they brought decades of hands-on construction experience with them. Back home, they spent years on real job sites, learning the trade the way it should be learned, working alongside masons, framers, and finishers who took the work personally.
When they settled in Ottawa, they kept building, kept learning, and started DGC to bring that same standard of craft, accountability, and old-world pride to Canadian homes and businesses. Every project they take on is one they would be comfortable putting their own name on, because they do.
Recent Work In Ottawa
Work that shows how we build
A few recent jobs in and around Ottawa that reflect the planning, execution, and finish we bring to every project, from front yards to full property work.
Lakeside Lawn & Lot Prep
We graded and seeded a fresh lawn on a wooded lakeside lot, prepping the property for new construction. Levelled the ground, set proper drainage away from the build site, and laid a clean green base that ties the whole property together.
The Outcome
A clean, level lawn ready for the next build phase, and a property that already looks cared for from the road.
Backyard Patio Installation
We installed a full interlock patio off the back of the home, laid in a clean linear pattern with a contrasting border. Proper base prep, level finish, and edge restraints built to hold up through Ottawa winters
The Outcome
A finished outdoor living space that flows from the home, ready for furniture, gatherings, and years of use without shifting or settling.
Lawn Sod Installation
Stripped out the old, patchy lawn and laid fresh sod across the entire front yard. Prepped the soil, levelled the grade, and installed clean rolls right up to the curb and driveway edge for a sharp, finished look.
The Outcome
An instant lawn upgrade, thick, green, and even from day one, with curb appeal that lifts the whole street.
How We Work
A clear process from first call to final handoff

Frequently Asked
Answers before you even have to ask
The questions clients usually bring to the first call. If yours is not here, reach out and we will give you a real answer.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on the scope, but every project starts with a written schedule before anything breaks ground. Small jobs like driveway repairs can wrap in a few days. Larger interlock, foundation, or full landscaping projects usually run one to three weeks. You will always know the realistic timeline before we start.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. We come out, walk the site, ask the right questions, and give you a clear written quote with no pressure to commit. The site visit and the quote are always free.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial work in Ontario. We are happy to share documentation before any contract is signed so you have full peace of mind.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. When a project requires a permit, we manage the paperwork, the city coordination, and the inspections so you do not have to chase any of it down.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Every project comes with a workmanship warranty appropriate to the scope of work. We stand behind what we build, and if something needs attention later, we are easy to reach.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept e-transfer, certified cheque, and credit card for residential projects. Larger commercial projects can be invoiced on a milestone schedule that we agree on in advance.
