Excavation in Twin Falls and across the valley

Twin Falls runs to new residential subdivisions, established in-town lots and acreages out toward the canyon. Growth means new construction site prep, and it also means a lot of older properties finally dealing with drainage and septic that were put off.

We're in Twin Falls and the surrounding Magic Valley regularly, so jobs here get real start dates rather than an open-ended wait for us to be in the area.

The most-requested work in Twin Falls is septic system installation on acreage and new builds, followed by gravel driveways and approaches and pads for shops and barns. New construction brings foundation and basement dig-outs and water, sewer and power trenches. For lots that have gotten away from someone, we do brush mowing and land clearing, regrading to move water away from buildings, and tear-down and haul-off of old sheds, fences and slabs.

Estimates

Free on-site estimates, in writing

Four things set the price on excavation work. We walk the property, look at all four, and hand you one written number before anything gets dug.

  • AccessCan the excavator and dump trailer get to the work without wrecking the yard? Tight lots and soft ground add time.
  • Soil and rockMagic Valley ground goes from sandy loam to basalt a foot down. Rock changes the machine, the pace and the price.
  • Haul-off and materialsDirt hauled away, gravel and road base hauled in, concrete to the recycler. Distance to the pit or the dump sets the cost.
  • Permits and locatesSeptic permits, inspections and utility locates are part of the job and part of the estimate, not an add-on at the end.

    Utility locates are called before any digging. Septic permits and inspections are scheduled with the health district.

  • 04Dug, graded, cleaned up

    The work gets done to grade, compacted where it needs to be, and the site is raked back so it is ready for whoever comes next.
