At Ryco Contracting LTD, we help homeowners and property owners in St. Thomas, ON with outdoor and foundation projects that need to be done right. Since 2012, our family-owned team has focused on clear communication, solid workmanship, and practical solutions that last. Whether you need a new hardscape, site excavation, or foundation waterproofing, we bring hands-on experience and a high standard of care to every job.
St. Thomas is known for its strong community, growing neighbourhoods, and mix of historic and newer homes. That means property needs can vary from street to street. Some homes need better drainage and waterproofing. Others need grading, excavation, or a well-built patio, walkway, or retaining wall to make the property more usable. We understand those local conditions and build solutions that fit the site, the budget, and the long-term goals of the homeowner.
Contracting services for St. Thomas properties
We offer professional exterior and site services for residential projects across St. Thomas. Our work is tailored to the property, soil conditions, water flow, and how you want to use your space.
- Hardscape: patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor living features built for function, curb appeal, and durability
- Excavation: site prep, grading, trenching, digging, and foundation-related excavation completed safely and efficiently
- Waterproofing: foundation waterproofing and drainage solutions to help protect basements and prevent water intrusion
Why St. Thomas homeowners choose Ryco Contracting LTD
We are not a large, impersonal contractor. We are a small family-owned company that works directly with clients and takes pride in doing the job properly the first time. That matters when you are investing in your home.
- Founded in 2012 with years of real job-site experience
- Clear, straightforward communication from start to finish
- Tailored recommendations instead of one-size-fits-all work
- High standards for craftsmanship and job-site professionalism
- Fast lead follow-up, including an intro video so you know who you are dealing with
We also believe your time matters. Our process is built to qualify projects clearly and early, so you get honest answers and a smoother experience from the start.
Local knowledge matters on excavation, hardscape, and waterproofing jobs
In St. Thomas, drainage, grade changes, aging foundations, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can all affect how a project should be planned. A patio that is not built on the right base can shift. Poor grading can lead water toward the home. Weak waterproofing details can turn into basement leaks later. We look at the whole picture before we start, so the finished result is not just attractive, but built to perform.
Proudly serving St. Thomas neighbourhoods and surrounding areas
We work throughout St. Thomas and nearby communities. Whether your property is near the downtown core, in a newer subdivision, or on a larger lot outside the busier parts of town, we are ready to help with excavation, hardscaping, and waterproofing needs.
If you are planning a project in St. Thomas, ON, contact Ryco Contracting LTD today at (519) 617-7172. We would be happy to learn about your project, answer your questions, and help you take the next step with confidence.

"This is a great company to hire. Ryan and Anthony are hard working, honest and professional guys. They take great pride in what they do and it shows."
"The Ryco Team have been great to work with from start to finish. A personable team with strong communication is one of their best customer assets. Unlike most of the contractors we connected with, Ryan actually listened to exactly what we wanted and needed. In the planning stage, details of the proposed work (with visuals) was super helpful. He suggested options and potential barriers that we may face which were within our budget and potentially could be out of our control once excavation started. The team was very clear and transparent on timelines and easy to reach for updates. They even welcomed check-ins on site as work progressed. When we ran into a hiccup (not their issue), they gave us time to find a solution and make repairs before they returned to their expertise and completed their work. I appreciated their flexibility, keeping the job site tidy (our backyard), and keeping to their plan from start to finish - but most importantly, their focus on doing the job right."
"Great work done by Ryan. Honest, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!"
"Ryan and Anthony are professional, quick, and had amazing communication! They did an amazing job and will definitely use Ryco again!! I highly recommend!!"
"We are extremely pleased with the customer service and the quality of work provided. We were looking for a snow clearing service this winter and contacted several providers through Facebook. Some responded with a generic AI response, but Ryco reached out by phone and we arranged a meeting time to review the size of our driveway and the services we needed. Ryan was very professional and engaging. We felt confident in who we were dealing with right from the start. This confidence was reinforced and confirmed after the first snowfall. They were here first thing, did an amazing and thorough job and have repeated this level of service four more times prior to writing this review. We highly recommend!"
"Ryan did a complicated excavation and waterproofing job on our older house. He also built us a new front deck. He communicated very well throughout the whole process. There were unexpected findings along the way but he was always able to offer various solutions."
"I had a great experience with the super duo Ryan and Anthony. Their team is both friendly and professional. They quickly grasped the challenges I was facing and provided sensible, well-thought-out solutions. A true pleasure to work with. They are my go to construction company now."
