Caldwell is where Ultimate Excavation LLC is based, and it's where Tanner Owens and the crew work out of. That means we're close to the job when you call, we know the roads and the ditches, and we can often get to a site quickly. If you're in Caldwell, you're not paying a crew to drive in from somewhere else.

A Town of Old Streets and New Growth

Caldwell is the Canyon County seat and has an older core that includes the College of Idaho and downtown streets with homes that have been standing a long time. Around that, the town keeps spreading into new subdivisions and onto former farm ground. We work in both. In older areas that's demolition, driveway removal, sewer line trenching and foundation excavation. In newer areas it's site grading, excavation for driveways and utility trenches.

Water, Drainage and Indian Creek

Indian Creek runs through Caldwell, and irrigation ditches and canals cross the town and the country around it. Water is a fact of life here. It can show up as a soggy yard, water against a foundation, or a driveway that washes out every irrigation season. Our drainage solutions, French drains, ditch digging and culvert installation work fixes those problems, and we plan digs around the irrigation schedule so a trench isn't open when the water comes on.

Burst or leaking lines are another common call. We dig down to the problem and repair or replace the line, with water line excavation and sewer line excavation. We'll explain the options before we start.

Acreage, Orchards and the Sunnyslope

Southwest of Caldwell, the Sunnyslope area has orchards, vineyards and large lots, and similar acreage surrounds the rest of town. People who own that kind of land call us for land clearing, shop and barn pads, long driveways, pond excavation and bulk material hauling. Larger parcels tend to take several projects over a few years, and we're happy to plan around that, including laying out a utility corridor so power, water and communications don't turn into a tangle of trenches later. See underground utilities.

Septic and Well Properties

Outside city sewer, most Caldwell-area homes rely on a septic system and a well. Septic permits in Canyon County go through Southwest District Health. We dig the test holes, tank and drainfield for septic system installation and handle septic repair when a system fails. Our guide to septic permits in Ada and Canyon County covers what to start first.

Shops, Yards and Commercial Jobs

Small businesses in and around Caldwell call us for commercial excavation, parking lot excavation, concrete breaking and hauling and site clearing. Having a local crew helps when a job is on a schedule with a concrete crew or a paving company waiting behind us.
