Ada County, Idaho
Drainage & Utilities in Boise, ID
Idaho's capital, where the high desert meets the foothills
Boise's bench and foothill lots send water where you don't want it, and clay pockets hold it. Iron Crest Earthworks trenches and installs French drains, area drains, and swales, pipes them to a proper outlet, and grades so water leaves your foundation and yard.
What's included
- French drains & area drains
- Utility & service-line trenching
- Culvert & ditch work
- Erosion & sediment control
- Drainage grading & swales
In Boise, we take on drainage & utilities across the North End, the Bench, Southeast Boise & Warm Springs, and the rest of Ada County — sized to the lot and the access on each site.
Our process
How drainage & utilities works in Boise
- 01
Find the water
We look at where water collects and where it needs to end up, then quote the fix free.
- 02
Trench & install
We dig the runs and install drain pipe, culverts, or service lines to grade.
- 03
Pipe to daylight
Drains are routed to a proper outlet — daylight, drywell, or storm system — so water actually leaves.
- 04
Backfill & restore
We backfill, compact, and grade the surface back so the yard looks finished, not torn up.
Every Boise job includes coordinating the permits Ada County requires and hauling debris off-site — we leave the lot clean and ready for what's next.
Working in Boise
Idaho's capital, where the high desert meets the foothills
Boise spreads from the Boise River and its Greenbelt up into the Foothills, mixing dense established neighborhoods with hillside lots and high-desert ground on the edges. Older parts of town carry decades-old structures, mature trees, and tight access; the bench and foothill margins bring slope, rock, and drainage to plan around.
Boise jobs run the gamut — gutting and tearing out aging structures on tight North End and Bench lots where access and neighbors matter, and grading or clearing hillside parcels on the foothill edge where slope and runoff drive the plan. We keep dust controlled and coordinate the City of Boise permits and utility disconnects these jobs require.
