Location: Hayden, ID 83835
Project Type: Custom Home Site Preparation
Year Completed: 2024
Scope: Full site prep, grading & utility trenching
Contractor: Peck & Peck Excavating

Peck & Peck Excavating was hired to prepare a raw residential lot in Hayden for custom home construction. The work included full vegetation clearing, precision finish grading, topsoil stripping and stockpiling for later reuse, storm drainage planning and installation, and utility trench excavation for water, sewer, and electrical. Our team coordinated directly with the homeowner’s general contractor to ensure the pad met exact foundation specs — ready for the concrete crew to move in without a single delay.

The Hayden lot presented challenges typical of North Idaho residential development — high clay content in the soil required additional work to achieve proper compaction and drainage, and the site’s proximity to neighboring properties meant tight equipment tolerances throughout the job.

Utility coordination proved to be the most time-sensitive piece. With multiple trades scheduled back-to-back, our crew had to complete trenching and backfill in precise sequences to avoid holding up the plumber and electrician. We pulled it off — finished on schedule and handed off a clean, grade-verified pad that the builder described as one of the best-prepped lots they’d worked on.

Project Type: Residential Site Development

Scope: Site clearing, grading & utility prep
Contractor: Peck & Peck Excavating

Peck & Peck Excavating was contracted to prepare a residential building site on the outskirts of Coeur d’Alene for a custom home construction project. The scope included full site clearing, precision grading, topsoil removal and stockpiling, storm drainage installation, and utility trench excavation. Our team worked closely with the homeowner and their builder to ensure the finished pad was perfectly level, properly drained, and ready for foundation work — delivered ahead of schedule.

This Coeur d’Alene site presented a unique set of challenges from the start. The sloped terrain required significant cut-and-fill work to achieve a buildable pad without compromising the natural drainage patterns on the property. The homeowner was also committed to preserving a stand of mature ponderosa pines along the north boundary, which required careful equipment maneuvering and hand-clearing in sensitive areas.

Access to the site was limited to a single narrow easement road, meaning all equipment staging and material hauling had to be carefully sequenced to avoid delays. Despite these constraints, our crew completed the work within the agreed timeline and left the site clean, graded, and ready for the foundation contractor to move in the following week.

Project Type: Residential Subdivision
Year Completed: 2024
Scope: Full site excavation & development
Contractor: Peck & Peck Excavating

Peck & Peck Excavating was brought in to handle full-site development for a new premier residential neighborhood in Post Falls, Idaho. The project involved clearing and grading over 40 acres of raw land, installing underground utilities, storm drainage systems, and preparing individual lot pads for home construction. From the first pass of the dozer to final grade, our crew delivered a finished subdivision ready for builders — on time and on budget.

Every large-scale subdivision comes with its share of surprises. This Post Falls project required careful coordination around existing tree lines and natural drainage corridors that the developer wanted preserved. Rocky subsurface conditions in the northeast corner of the site required additional excavation work and material hauling to achieve proper grade.

Tight scheduling windows — driven by the developer’s builder contracts — meant our equipment and crews had to stay ahead of a fast-moving timeline. We coordinated with utility companies, the City of Post Falls, and multiple subcontractors simultaneously to keep the project on track. The result: a finished, permit-ready neighborhood delivered without delays.
