Drainage & Utilities in Star, ID
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Riverfront ground near the Boise River and the irrigation canals that thread through Star can hold water and push it toward foundations on the acreage lots filling in around town. Iron Crest Earthworks trenches and installs French drains, area drains, and swales, runs utility and service lines, and grades the site so water leaves your home and outbuildings instead of pooling around them.
What's included
- French drains & area drains
- Utility & service-line trenching
- Culvert & ditch work
- Erosion & sediment control
- Drainage grading & swales
In Star, we take on drainage & utilities across downtown Star, riverfront Star, rural Star acreage, and the rest of Ada County — sized to the lot and the access on each site.
Our process
How drainage & utilities works in Star
- 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 Star 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 Star
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.
