Excavation Contractors in Golden Valley, NV

Excavation contractors in Golden Valley usually find more room to work than in town. The community sits about 7 miles north of downtown Reno, just south of Lemmon Valley, at around 5,135 feet. Only 1,580 people lived on its 3.61 square miles in 2020, about 437 per square mile, so lots tend to be larger, with space for shops, barns and parking.

Higher and colder

At more than 5,100 feet, Golden Valley sits several hundred feet above the Reno valley floor. Snow and freezing nights are more frequent than downtown, so we pay attention to frost depth on water lines and to drainage on drives that will see ice.

Slopes and driveways

Lots climb the hills, and long driveways need to be cut into slopes without sending runoff into the house or the road. We cut drives with a cross-slope, add ditches and culverts, and use crushed rock that locks in place.

Clearing

Sagebrush and bitterbrush cover undeveloped parts of many lots. Clearing for a pad or defensible space around a home is common work.

Common Golden Valley jobs

• Long gravel driveways and turnarounds
• Shop and barn pads
• Brush clearing
• Water and power trenching to outbuildings

Hauling and neighbors

With homes spread out and few through streets, trucks often share narrow local roads with residents. We stage loads where they do not block driveways, keep mud off the pavement, and time deliveries of base rock so a long drive can be built in one push instead of several half-finished visits.

Septic and wells

Plenty of Golden Valley parcels run on private wells and septic systems. When a project touches either one, such as a garage over an old line or a shop that needs water, we locate the existing components first and plan around setbacks so nothing gets crushed or contaminated.
