Service
Excavating
With 35 years of proven experience and reliable operations across four states (including Idaho and surrounding Northwest regions), we deliver precise, efficient, and environmentally conscious earthwork solutions for federal agencies, tribal lands, commercial developments, infrastructure projects, government facilities, and private clients. Drawing on Indigenous principles of responsible land stewardship, we combine heavy equipment expertise, regional knowledge of Northwest soils and terrain, and meticulous site management to prepare stable foundations, manage earth movement, and support sustainable development with minimal environmental impact.
Our comprehensive excavating services include:
- Site Preparation & Mass Excavation — Clearing, stripping topsoil, mass earthmoving, cut-and-fill operations, and rough grading to ready sites for construction, roads, or development while balancing cut/fill for cost efficiency and site stability.
- Foundation & Basement Excavation — Precise digging for building foundations, footings, basements, slabs, and structural elements to exact specifications, ensuring proper depth, dimensions, and subgrade preparation for long-term structural integrity.
- Trenching & Underground Utilities — Excavating trenches for water, sewer, storm drainage, electrical, gas lines, and other utilities; installing or supporting placement with shoring/trench safety measures and backfilling/compaction per engineering standards.
- Grading & Land Leveling — Fine grading, contouring, compaction, and subgrade preparation for roads, driveways, parking lots, building pads, and landscapes to achieve proper drainage, slope, and compaction (often 90-95% density).
- Earth Hauling, Import/Export & Material Management — Moving, hauling, and disposing of excess soil, rock, or debris; importing clean fill when needed; and coordinating recycling/salvage to reduce waste and support green practices.
- Erosion Control & Stormwater Management — Installing temporary/permanent erosion measures, silt fences, sediment basins, and drainage features to comply with regulations and protect waterways in the Northwest’s variable climate.
- Rock & Difficult Soil Excavation — Handling rocky terrain, blasting coordination (where required), or specialized methods for challenging soils common in Idaho and regional mountainous areas.
- Road & Infrastructure Support — Building access roads, right-of-way clearing, pad development, and earthwork for highways, substations, or utility corridors.
