Ada County, Idaho
Excavation & Grading in Star, ID
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Star's riverside acreage and horse properties sit on ground where the Boise River shapes how water moves, so dirt work here has to account for grade and runoff from the start. Iron Crest Earthworks excavates, cuts and fills, and grades to your plans and elevations, then compacts the sub-grade so your new home or shop on rural Star ground sits level and drains the way it should.
What's included
- Site & mass excavation
- Cut & fill / land leveling
- Rough & finish grading
- Trenching & backfill
- Dirt import & export
- Soil compaction
In Star, we take on excavation & grading 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 excavation & grading works in Star
- 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 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.

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

Do you work outside Star, too?
We do — along with Star, we regularly handle excavation & grading in nearby Eagle, Middleton, Meridian and across the wider Treasure Valley. If you're near the Boise River, you're well inside our service area.
Do you haul off the debris after excavation & grading in Star?
Always. Every Star 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.
