Excavation & Site Work Services

Septic, soil testing, clearing, driveways, foundations, demolition, walls, utilities and skid steer work — across Kootenai and Bonner counties.

What We Do

Nine kinds of dirt work, one local crew

Every one of these is done by us — not subcontracted out to whoever was available. Brian is on the site.

Septic Systems

Installation, repair and replacement, drain fields and tank work — sized and built for your soil. We handle Panhandle Health District permitting, test holes and the pre-cover inspection.

Test Holes & Perc Testing

Eight-foot soil profile holes dug to Panhandle Health District spec and scheduled with your Environmental Health Specialist. The cheapest step in a septic project and the one everything else depends on.

Mini excavator clearing brush along a wooded gravel access road

Land Clearing

Timber, brush and stumps off building lots, pasture and driveways — and the rock dealt with rather than ignored. You decide what happens to the material.

Gravel Driveways

New driveways, grading and resurfacing built for freeze-thaw: crown, ditching, culverts and a compacted base under angular crushed rock.

Foundation excavation with insulated concrete form walls and gravel base

Foundation Excavation

Excavation and prep for foundations, basements, crawl spaces, shops and barndominiums, cut to your builder's prints, plus footings and backfill. Kootenai County's adopted frost line depth is 24 inches, and we shoot grade and hold it.

Structures, slabs, old foundations and driveways broken out and hauled away, so the new work starts on clean ground.

Block retaining wall built into a slope on a North Idaho property

Retaining Walls

Block, boulder and rock walls for grade changes, driveways cut into a slope, and usable yard where there was none. Hayden and Coeur d'Alene exempt walls under four feet measured from the bottom of the footing from a building permit — unless the wall supports a surcharge. Over that, or with a surcharge, it is permitted. The part nobody sees is what matters: base, drain rock and backfill.

Open utility trench for water and power lines on a North Idaho jobsite

Utility Trenching

Water, power, sewer, septic lines, gas and conduit — trenched, bedded, backfilled, compacted and graded back to the spec the inspector will hold it to. 811 gets called first, every time: Idaho requires two business days' notice, the locate is free, and marks stay valid four weeks.
