Site Preparation, Clearing, and Post Hole Drilling Services
A strong foundation begins with a meticulously prepared site. At Spring Creek Excavation, we transform raw land into a clean, stable canvas for your construction project. Our comprehensive site preparation services include clearing vegetation, removing trees, rocks, and debris, and precision grading to ensure a level surface. Our post hole drilling services are perfect for preparing for your new fence installation project. We go beyond basic clearing by offering soil testing to assess composition and stability, ensuring your site is ready for construction. Our operators leverage their knowledge of Elko County’s unique terrain to address grading challenges, coordinating closely with builders, surveyors, and engineers to align with foundation plans and drainage requirements. We also specialize in site balancing, cut-and-fill operations, and lot clearing, delivering a site that’s ready for the next phase of your project.
Foundation Excavation
A solid foundation is the backbone of any structure, and our expert operators ensure your foundation excavation is executed with precision and care. We work closely with homeowners, builders, and engineers to excavate footings, basements, crawl spaces, and slab-on-grade foundations that meet structural specifications and comply with local building codes. Our reputation for accuracy and timeliness has made us a trusted partner for foundation work across Elko County and beyond.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, we achieve exact cuts and grades, even in challenging or tight-access sites. After excavation, we ensure site cleanliness and provide backfill services post-pour to ensure a stable base.
Our commitment to clean, level excavations and strict adherence to project timelines ensures your build stays on track without compromising safety or quality.
Trenching, Utility Installation, and Repair
Spring Creek Excavation provides comprehensive trenching and utility excavation services for water lines, sewer systems, electrical conduits, irrigation systems, and more. As a trusted partner of Great Basin Water Co. and Beck Built Homes we handle both new installations and urgent repairs, including emergency jobs that demand quick response times. Every trench is dug to precise depths and grades, ensuring proper utility function and long-term durability, with safe backfilling to prevent settlement.
Our full-service approach includes conduit bedding, pipe laying, and final grade restoration to leave your site ready for use. We cater to both rural properties needing septic or water hookups and urban projects requiring municipal utility connections. For sensitive sites, we offer hydro-excavation to minimize disruption and protect existing infrastructure. Before digging, we coordinate with One Call to locate subsurface utilities, ensuring safety and compliance with local codes and environmental standards. Our expertise and attention to detail make us the go-to choice for utility work in Northern Nevada.
Grading and Sloping
Proper grading is critical for effective drainage and site stability. Our grading and sloping services reshape your land to direct stormwater away from structures, preventing erosion, flooding, and foundation damage. Whether you’re preparing for a new foundation, driveway, or landscaping project, we use advanced equipment to deliver smooth, precise grades tailored to your needs.
We offer roadbed subgrade preparation, swale and slope creation for drainage, and terrace leveling for multi-use landscapes. For existing properties, we provide regrading to correct drainage issues or prepare for additions like patios or retaining walls. Our process begins with a detailed consultation with the site owner and ends with compacted, even surfaces ready for the next construction phase. In Northern Nevada’s dry yet flood-prone terrain, our grading expertise ensures your property remains protected and functional year-round.
Demolition and Debris Removal
Spring Creek Excavation offers safe, efficient demolition services for sheds, garages, mobile homes, concrete pads, and other small structures. Our turnkey approach handles every aspect of the process, from securing permits to clearing debris, leaving your site clean and ready for its next purpose. Safety is our priority, and we adhere to strict protocols to protect your property and comply with Elko County regulations.
Before demolition begins, we conduct thorough site walkthroughs to identify utilities, assess material types, and plan for proper disposal. We separate recyclable materials, such as metal or concrete, and dispose of waste responsibly. Whether you’re clearing space for a new build or removing an unsafe structure, our team delivers fast, reliable service with minimal disruption to your property.
Sand, Gravel, and Fill Dirt Delivery and Placement
We supply and deliver high-quality sand, gravel, and fill dirt to meet the needs of your construction or landscaping project. From leveling low-lying areas to creating stable bases for driveways or foundations, we provide the right materials in the right quantities. Our placement services include spreading and compacting to ensure a solid, uniform base ready for the next step.
We help you select the best aggregates for your project, including drain rock, pea gravel, Type II base, or screened fill dirt, based on site conditions and budget. Our services include pad compaction, berm creation, and leveling for slab pours, as well as repairs to existing driveways or paths with fresh, properly sloped gravel. With our efficient delivery and expert placement, your project stays on schedule and on budget.
Pond and Trampoline Excavation
For homeowners looking to enhance their property, we offer specialized excavation for backyard ponds and in-ground trampolines. These small-scale projects require precision and attention to detail, and our team delivers custom solutions tailored to your vision. We assess your site’s soil, drainage, and topography to ensure safety, functionality, and durability.
For trampolines, we excavate and compact a level base to prevent sinking or tilting, ensuring a safe and stable installation. For ponds, we dig to your specified depth and volume, incorporating drainage solutions like overflow channels or liners to maintain water retention. Our expertise in small-scale excavation adds value to your property while keeping the process affordable and hassle-free.
Driveway Construction
A well-built driveway enhances property access and withstands years of use and harsh weather. Spring Creek Excavation designs and constructs durable driveways, from simple gravel paths to engineered solutions with proper grading and compaction. We ensure your driveway is built to last, with a focus on functionality and aesthetics.
Our process includes excavation, base layer installation, and top surfacing with materials like compacted gravel, road base, or recycled asphalt. We incorporate culverts, ditching, and proper crowning to manage water runoff and prevent washouts. Additional services include drive lane widening, parking area excavation, and tie-ins to private roads. A professionally constructed driveway boosts curb appeal and property value, and we deliver results that stand the test of time.
Septic System Installation and Replacement
In rural Elko County, a reliable septic system is essential for residential living. We provide end-to-end septic system installation and replacement, handling everything from design and permitting to excavation and final installation. Our team works with local soil conditions and environmental regulations to deliver systems that are efficient, compliant, and built to last.
We install standard and alternative septic systems, including tanks, leach fields, and inspection ports, and perform percolation testing and soil analysis to ensure proper design. For failing systems, we offer fast, precise replacement services to restore functionality with minimal disruption. Working closely with the Nevada Health Department, we ensure every project meets strict regulatory standards for safe wastewater management.
Drainage Solutions
Effective drainage is critical to protecting your property from water damage. We assess your site’s runoff patterns and design customized drainage solutions, such as French drains, swales, culverts, and regrading, to safeguard foundations, driveways, and landscapes. In Elko’s dry yet flood-prone environment, our drainage expertise ensures long-term site stability.
Our process begins with topographical assessments and flow mapping to identify problem areas. We install trench drains, gravel-filled dry wells, gutter downspout extensions, and erosion control measures like riprap or fabric. For rural properties, we create diversion berms to steer water away from structures and prevent driveway erosion. We also repair clogged or failed drainage systems, restoring proper function and protecting your investment.
Road and Access Construction
Reliable access is essential for residential lots, ranches, and construction sites. We design and build durable access roads and driveways, evaluating topography and grading routes to ensure safe, functional access year-round. From short gravel paths to rural subdivision roads, we deliver sturdy solutions tailored to your needs.
Our process includes clearing, grading, base material delivery, and compaction, with final surfacing to withstand daily vehicle loads and Nevada’s harsh winters. We incorporate slope stabilization, culvert installation, and crown shaping for optimal drainage. A well-built access road enhances land usability and increases property value, and our team ensures every project is completed to the highest standards.
Water Truck Services
Our water truck services provide essential support for dust control, soil compaction, and fire prevention across Northern Nevada. We offer on-demand water spraying for construction sites, gravel roads, and rural properties, keeping your site clean, safe, and compliant with local regulations.
Water trucks are critical for compacting pads during site prep, cooling equipment in hot weather, and maintaining dust-free environments. We also provide scheduled fills for livestock tanks or remote sites and standby services for wildfire readiness during fire season. With a reliable fleet and experienced operators, we’re ready to support your project, no matter the size or conditions.
