Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River

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.

Do you haul off the debris after site prep & pad work 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.
Can you build a pad for a shop or pole barn?
Yes — building and shop pads are a core part of what we do. We prep, place, and compact the base so your structure sits level and stable.
Do you install driveway culverts and approaches?
Yes. Where a driveway meets a county road or ditch, we install the culvert and build a proper approach.
