Grass Seeding & Landscaping

Q: When is the best time to plant grass seed in Boise and surrounding areas? The ideal times for grass seeding in this region are typically early spring (March-April) or late summer/early fall (August-September). These periods offer optimal temperatures and moisture for seed germination and establishment.

Q: What type of grass seed do you recommend for the Idaho climate? We recommend grass varieties that are well-suited to the local climate, considering factors like sun exposure, foot traffic, and water availability. We often suggest blends that include fescues, rye, and Kentucky bluegrass for their resilience and aesthetics.

Q: How long does it take for grass seed to grow? Most grass seeds will show signs of germination within 7-21 days, with full establishment taking several weeks to a few months, depending on the seed type and growing conditions.

Irrigation Systems

Erosion Control

Q: What causes erosion on construction sites or properties? Erosion can be caused by various factors, including heavy rainfall, wind, steep slopes, and lack of vegetation, leading to soil loss and potential property damage.

Q: What methods do you use for erosion control? We employ a variety of erosion control methods, including hydroseeding, straw wattle installation, erosion control blankets, grading for proper drainage, and the installation of retaining walls.

Q: When should I consider erosion control for my property? Erosion control is crucial for properties with slopes, disturbed soil, or areas prone to water runoff. It's especially important during and after construction projects.

Excavation & Dirt Work (Including Trenching & Land Grading)

Q: What kind of excavation services do you provide? Our excavation services include digging for foundations, utilities, ponds, basements, and any other project requiring earth moving.

Q: What is "dirt work"? Dirt work is a broad term encompassing various earthmoving services, including excavation, trenching, backfilling, and grading, all essential for preparing a site for construction or landscaping.

Q: What is the purpose of land grading? Land grading is the process of leveling or sloping the land to achieve proper drainage, create a stable building pad, or prepare for landscaping. It's crucial for preventing water accumulation and foundation issues.

Q: What is trenching used for? Trenching is used to dig narrow excavations for the installation of utility lines (water, sewer, electrical, gas), irrigation pipes, drainage systems, and more.

Q: What does "site preparation" involve? Site preparation is a comprehensive service that includes land clearing, demolition, grading, excavation, and any other necessary work to get a property ready for construction or development.

Q: What is the difference between land clearing and site clearing? Land clearing typically involves removing trees, brush, rocks, and other vegetation from a raw piece of land to prepare it for development. Site clearing is a broader term that can include land clearing but also involves the removal of existing structures (demolition), debris, and other obstacles from a developed or partially developed site.
