We absolutely love our new kitchen! A&J Hardison did an amazing job with our remodel and made the whole process so much easier than we expected. They were reliable, easy to work with, and the quality of their work really shows in the finished space. Even better, they came in on budget and had everything finished within the timeframe they originally gave us. No surprise costs or project that dragged on forever! Our kitchen turned out better than we imagined, and we couldn’t be happier with it. I would absolutely recommend A&J Hardison to anyone looking for quality work from people who actually do what they say they’re going to do. We’ll definitely use them again for future projects!

Expert Site Preparation in North Idaho And Eastern Washington
Site preparation in north Idaho and eastern Washington involves more than clearing brush and leveling ground. A&J Hardison Excavation handles the full scope of site prep for residential and commercial projects, including land clearing, topsoil stripping, rough grading, drainage planning, and utility corridor layout. Lots across the region vary widely. Wooded parcels need selective clearing and stump removal. Sloped sites need cut-and-fill grading to create a buildable pad. Rocky ground requires equipment and planning that accounts for what is below the surface. We assess every site before work begins so the prep work matches what the project actually needs. Proper site preparation reduces problems during construction and protects the finished structure long-term. If you have a lot in north Idaho or eastern Washington that needs to be prepared for development, contact A&J Hardison Excavation.

FAQ
Site Preparation FAQ
Common questions about site preparation in North Idaho and Eastern Washington.
Site prep typically includes land clearing, topsoil stripping, rough grading, drainage planning, and utility corridor layout. The specific scope depends on your lot type and what you are building.
Wooded lots require selective clearing, tree removal, and stump grinding or removal before grading can begin. We assess the lot and plan clearing to match your building footprint and site access needs.
Yes, sloped lots require cut-and-fill grading to create a buildable pad. We plan the grading to manage drainage and minimize long-term settling.
