Excavation Projects Across North Idaho, Including Coeur d'Alene, Rathdrum, Post Falls & Beyond
Driveway Grading & Culvert Installation in Rathdrum, ID
Location: Twin Lakes, Rathdrum – Highway 41 & Boekel Road
A long private driveway in a rural area suffered from seasonal flooding and deep potholes due to poor drainage. The surface had eroded over time, creating ruts that made travel difficult. A common solution for situations like this is to regrade the driveway, install a culvert to improve runoff, and compact a fresh gravel base for long-term durability.
Hot Tip: If a driveway develops standing water after rain or snowmelt, a culvert or French drain system can significantly reduce water damage and extend the driveway’s lifespan.
Foundation Dig for a Commercial Building in Silver Valley
Location: Near Bunker Ave & I-90, Silver Valley, ID
A commercial project required precise foundation excavation for a warehouse build. The site had rocky soil and required trenching for water, electrical, and gas lines. Ensuring the site was properly graded and compacted was key to preventing future settling or drainage issues.
Hot Tip: Excavation for commercial foundations must account for proper compaction, drainage, and trenching depth to meet city code requirements and avoid costly corrections later.

Location: Cougar Bay, Coeur d'Alene, ID – Near Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course & Highway 95

Retaining Wall & Drainage Fix in Post Falls, ID
Location: Near Treaty Rock Park & Spokane Street, Post Falls
A backyard on a steep slope experienced serious soil erosion after heavy seasonal rains, causing a loss of valuable yard space. One effective solution in situations like this is to install a reinforced retaining wall with an integrated French drain system to both stabilize the soil and direct water away from the property.
Hot Tip: For sloped properties, a retaining wall with proper drainage prevents soil erosion and protects structures from water damage.
Hardscape Installation in Rose Lake, ID
Location: Rose Lake - Near I-90 & Hwy 3
A homeowner wanted a low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for entertaining. The project involved designing and installing a paver patio with a built-in fire pit, complemented by decorative rock and drought-resistant landscaping.
Hot Tip: Choosing permeable pavers can improve drainage, reduce puddling, and prevent long-term cracking.
Tree Removal & Lawn Restoration in Silver Valley, ID
Location: Wallace, ID – Near I-90 & Historic Wallace Downtown
After a severe windstorm, several large trees became safety hazards for a commercial property. Once trees like these are removed, the next step is often stump grinding and soil regrading to ensure the area remains usable and to prevent sinkholes from forming. Replanting grass seed or drought-resistant plants can help restore the natural beauty of the space.
Hot Tip: After tree removal, grinding the stump and properly regrading the soil prevents future settling and helps maintain a smooth landscape.
