Ada County, Idaho
Foundation & Retaining in Meridian, ID
Idaho's fastest-growing city, where farmland turns to neighborhoods
New Meridian construction needs footings and foundations dug to plan on the flat valley floor. Iron Crest Earthworks excavates footings and foundations, preps and compacts the base, and backfills so nothing settles — coordinating cleanly with your concrete crew.
What's included
- Foundation & footing excavation
- Basement & crawlspace digs
- Retaining-wall excavation & base
- Hardscape & paver base prep
- Backfill & compaction
In Meridian, we take on foundation & retaining 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 foundation & retaining works in Meridian
- 01
Stake to plan
We work from your foundation or wall plans, confirm dimensions and depth, and quote it free.
- 02
Excavate to grade
Footings, basements, and wall bases are dug to the correct depth and dimension.
- 03
Prep the base
We place and compact base material so the foundation or wall sits on solid, level ground.
- 04
Backfill & compact
After the structure is in, we backfill in lifts and compact so nothing settles or pushes.
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.

Do you haul off the debris after foundation & retaining 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 dig foundations and footings?
Yes — foundation, footing, basement, and crawlspace excavation are core to what we do. We dig to your plan dimensions and depth.
Can you prep the base for a retaining wall?
Yes. We excavate and build a compacted base for retaining walls, which is critical on the valley's sloped lots.
Do you backfill after the foundation is poured?
Yes. We backfill in compacted lifts so the soil around your foundation doesn't settle or push against it.
