## Services

- **Septic systems** — installation, repair and replacement; drain fields and tank work,
  sized and built for the property's soil conditions.
- **Test holes and perc testing** — soil test holes and profile evaluation, the step that
  determines drain field size, tank size, and whether a standard system will work at all.
  Septic permitting in this region runs through Panhandle Health District.
- **Land clearing** — timber, brush and stump removal on wooded and rocky lots. Material is
  piled for firewood, chipped, burned where legal, buried in an approved spot, or hauled off.
- **Foundation excavation** — foundations, basements, crawl spaces and shops, cut to the
  builder's prints, plus footings and backfill.
- **Demolition** — structures, slabs, old foundations and driveways broken out and hauled away.
- **Retaining walls** — block, boulder and rock walls for grade changes and slope management,
  built with proper base, drain rock and backfill for freeze-thaw conditions.
- **Driveways** — gravel and dirt driveway installation, grading and resurfacing, with the
  crown, ditching and compacted base a North Idaho winter demands.
- **Utility trenching** — water, power, sewer, septic lines, gas and conduit; trenched,
  bedded, backfilled, compacted and graded back. 811 locates are always called first.
- **Skid steer services** — grading, material moving, snow removal and tight-access work.
