Customer had a septic system failure. Another contractor replaced the drainfield, but we were called in after that replacement left unstable/uneven ground.

Year Completed:   2022

The Challenges

Customer wanted their river views back. Willows and beavers had taken over this peninsula and made it difficult for the owners to enjoy their beach-front property on the Snake River. We came in and cut down the larger trees. Then we up-rooted all of the existing plants. We burned all of the debris. Then, we buried the ashes and restored the beach with sand and raking. We added a TeePee ring, fire-place, boat ramp for the owners pleasure!

Project Description

Client:   Stolworthy Farms
Location:   Shelley, ID
Year Completed:   2022

The Challenges

This customer wanted a complete update of a potato cellar that is also used for hay storage. We shaved the walls down by approx 4 feet on each side to prepare the building for shot-crete. Then, when the walls were finished, we took about 2 feet out of the floor. This project increased hay storage by 33%. During the project, we had to work against cave-ins, slough-offs, and poor stability.
