Excavation Contractors in Cold Springs, NV

Excavation contractors in Cold Springs work at more than 5,000 feet in Reno's northwest corner, beside the California state line and just off U.S. Route 395. The valley has grown quickly: from 3,834 residents in 2000 to 8,544 in 2010 and 10,153 in 2020. Its name comes from the Shoshoni Eitse'ihpaa, meaning cold water or cold spring.

Newer neighborhoods

Most homes went up in the 2000s and later. Projects are additions, garages, RV and side-yard parking, landscaping grades and drainage fixes where newer subdivisions send runoff downhill.

Cold, open ground

At 5,059 feet, winters run colder than on the Reno valley floor, and wind sweeps the open valley. We keep spoil piles low and watered, and make sure water lines have proper frost cover.

White Lake and Peavine

White Lake and Peavine Mountain are the local landmarks. Flat ground on a valley floor drains slowly, while lots toward the hills deal with runoff from above, so grading plans differ from one street to the next.

Common Cold Springs jobs

• RV pads and side-yard parking
• Drainage swales and regrading
• Pads for sheds and shops
• Trenching for power and irrigation

Growth means tight subdivisions

The jump from under 4,000 residents in 2000 to more than 10,000 in 2020 came mostly as subdivisions with set lot sizes, fences and HOA rules. Many projects begin with a review of HOA requirements for RV parking, outbuildings and grading, and with measuring the gate opening that equipment must pass through.

Keeping water off the neighbors

When one owner regrades a lot in a dense subdivision, runoff can end up on the lot next door. We set grades so water reaches the street or a swale on your own property, which keeps the project from becoming a dispute with neighbors.
