Excavation Contractor in Nampa, Idaho

Nampa is the biggest city in Canyon County and one of the largest in Idaho. It has old homes near downtown, fast-growing subdivisions on the edges, commercial lots along the interstate and farm ground right up to the city limits. We're based in nearby Caldwell, so Nampa is part of our everyday territory.

Older Nampa Neighborhoods

Streets near the historic downtown have homes that have stood for many decades, with mature trees, older fences and utilities that have been patched over the years. Work in these areas is usually careful and tight. We handle demolition of old garages and outbuildings, debris removal, driveway removal and foundation excavation for additions and replacement homes.

Older properties often have surprises underground. Old irrigation pipe, abandoned septic tanks, buried debris and old fill turn up on more lots than people expect. If we find a tank or a well, we stop and let you know, since old tanks and wells have rules about how they get closed. Our soil removal page covers what we do when the ground under a slab or driveway isn't sound.

Caliche, Clay and Fill

In and around Nampa, hard caliche is common a foot or two down. It can slow a trench or a foundation dig a lot, and it makes poor fill under concrete. We look at the site before bidding. Where the soil won't compact well, we may haul it off and bring in better material. See our pages on rock excavation and soil compaction.

Canals, Ditches and Drainage

Nampa has a lot of irrigation infrastructure. Canals, laterals and farm ditches cross town and the ground around it, and irrigation season changes how wet a yard or a trench gets. Working near a canal usually needs the irrigation district's approval, and we plan digs around when the water is running.

Drainage is often the reason people call. Water that pools against a foundation, a low spot that stays soggy, a driveway that sends runoff into the garage. We build the fixes: drainage solutions, French drains, ditch digging and culvert installation where a driveway crosses a ditch.

New Subdivisions and Commercial Lots

On the edges of Nampa, former farm fields are turning into new neighborhoods, and lots along I-84 need pads, parking and utilities. We offer site preparation and grading, subdivision earthworks, commercial excavation and parking lot excavation. On paving jobs, paving job site preparation gets the base ready so the asphalt crew can work.

Rural Lots and Septic

Out past city sewer, many Nampa-area properties use a septic system and a well. Septic permits in Canyon County go through Southwest District Health, and the process starts with a site evaluation. We handle the digging for septic system installation, septic system excavation and septic repair. Our article on septic permits in Ada and Canyon County explains what to start first so you avoid delays.

Acreage owners also call us for land clearing, pond excavation and bulk material hauling.
