Ada County, Idaho
Excavation & Grading in Meridian, ID
Idaho's fastest-growing city, where farmland turns to neighborhoods
Meridian's flat valley floor and relentless new construction make excavation and grading constant work here. Iron Crest Earthworks cuts, fills, and grades to your plans and elevations, compacts the sub-grade to spec, and shapes the site so it drains right and your build starts level.
What's included
- Site & mass excavation
- Cut & fill / land leveling
- Rough & finish grading
- Trenching & backfill
- Dirt import & export
- Soil compaction
In Meridian, we take on excavation & grading across Ten Mile, the Linder corridor, south Meridian, and the rest of Ada County — sized to the lot and the access on each site.
Our process
How excavation & grading works in Meridian
- 01
Review plans & site
We work from your plans or elevations, check the existing grade, and quote the dirt work free.
- 02
Excavate & move dirt
Cut, fill, and haul soil as needed — importing or exporting dirt to hit the target grade.
- 03
Shape & level
We rough-grade to contour, then finish-grade to the elevations and slopes the project calls for.
- 04
Compact to spec
Sub-grade is compacted so what you build on top doesn't settle.
Every Meridian 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 Meridian
Idaho's fastest-growing city, where farmland turns to neighborhoods
Meridian sits on the flat valley floor between Boise and Nampa, and it has been converting ag ground to subdivisions faster than almost anywhere in the state. That means a steady mix of old farm structures coming down and fresh sites being prepped for new homes and shops on level, workable ground.
A lot of Meridian work is clearing the last of the old farmsteads — barns, sheds, and outbuildings — and prepping level pads for the new construction filling in around Ten Mile and south Meridian. The flat valley ground works well for grading and pads, and we handle the Ada County and city requirements that come with it.

Excavation & Grading in Meridian — FAQs
Do you offer excavation & grading throughout Meridian?

Do you work outside Meridian, too?
We do — along with Meridian, we regularly handle excavation & grading in nearby Boise, Nampa, Eagle, Star, Kuna and across the wider Treasure Valley. If you're near The Village at Meridian, you're well inside our service area.
Do you haul off the debris after excavation & grading in Meridian?
Always. Every Meridian job includes sorting, loading, and hauling debris off-site, so your Ada County lot is left clean — no pile left for you to deal with.
Do you grade for drainage?
Yes — proper drainage is the whole point of good grading. We shape the ground so water moves away from structures and toward where it should go.
Can you import or haul off dirt?
Both. We import fill when a site needs to come up and haul off spoils when there's excess, so the grade balances out.
Do you work from engineered plans?
Yes. We grade to your elevations and specs, and we're comfortable coordinating with your builder or engineer.
