Small Excavation Contractor in Boise, ID
Looking for excavation in Boise without hiring a big earthmoving company? Evergreen Junk Solutions is a veteran-owned, licensed and insured general contractor that takes on the smaller jobs: a French drain along a side yard, a trench for a new irrigation line, a stump that has to come out, a backyard that needs regrading. We work with a mini excavator and a skid steer, and no job is too small.
As an excavation contractor in Boise, ID, we keep our focus on residential and light-commercial projects. We don't do large-scale earthmoving, basements or site development.
Small Excavator Services for Boise Yards
A mini excavator fits where bigger machines can't, which matters on established Boise lots with mature trees, fences and finished landscaping. We use it to dig trenches, pull stumps and dig out problem areas without tearing up the whole yard.
Much of Boise sits on old Boise River terraces, like the Boise Bench, where the ground often holds gravel and cobble and, in places, a hard cemented layer called caliche. That kind of ground is slow, punishing work by hand. With the right machine it's a manageable job, and we haul off the rock and extra dirt when we're done.
French Drain Installation in Boise
When water sits along a foundation, soaks a side yard or pools in a low corner of the lawn after a storm or a long sprinkler cycle, a French drain gives it somewhere to go. We dig the trench, install the drain to carry water away from the problem area, backfill and haul off the extra soil.
Not sure a French drain is the answer? Send photos of where the water collects and we'll talk it through with you.
Trenching Services in Boise
We dig trenches for irrigation, drainage and utility lines. Common Boise jobs include running a new sprinkler line across an older yard, trenching for a drain line, and digging for a utility run out to a shop or outbuilding. Tell us where the trench starts and ends and what it's for, and we'll plan the job around it.

We Call 811 Before We Dig
Before any digging starts in Boise, we call 811 to have underground utility lines located and marked. In this part of Idaho those requests go through Digline, and state law requires notice at least two business days before excavation, so we build that into the schedule. It's one less thing for you to track.
811 marks public utility lines, not private ones, so point out any sprinkler lines, septic system or other private lines when you book.
