Demolition & Earthwork Contractor in Star
From old barns and backyard pools to full lot clearing and grading, Iron Crest Earthworks brings the crew and the iron to Star. Debris hauled, site left clean.
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River.
Star is one of the valley's fastest-growing small towns, strung along the Boise River at the western edge of Ada County. It keeps a rural-residential character — acreage lots, horse properties, and farm ground — even as new subdivisions arrive, so old structures come down as new sites go in.
Star's acreage and horse properties mean barn, shed, and outbuilding teardowns, land clearing, and site prep for new homes on larger lots. Riverside ground brings drainage and grading into the plan, and we leave sites clean and build-ready.

What demolition & earthwork looks like in Star
Star is what the west valley looked like before the boom, and what it's becoming — at the same time. Horse properties and acreage lots along the Boise River still set the character, but subdivisions are filling in along the State Street corridor fast enough that old barns, sheds, and pasture fencing regularly need to come down ahead of a sale or a build. That handoff — rural structure out, build-ready ground in — is the shape of most Star projects.
The river is the other constant. Riverfront and low-lying parcels around Star hold water differently than bench ground, so grading and drainage decisions carry more weight here: where the site sheds runoff matters as much as how level it finishes. On teardowns near the water, we plan the finished grade before the first wall comes down, so the lot ends up dry as well as clear.
Star parcels run through Ada County systems, with the city's own Building Department handling in-town permits — all of it online. Acreage properties often add irrigation and older outbuildings to the scope; a single mobilization that takes the whole list usually beats piecemeal trips on these larger lots.
