Excavation Contractors in Lemmon Valley, NV

Excavation contractors in Lemmon Valley work in a closed valley about 10 miles north of downtown Reno at roughly 4,990 feet. The census-designated place covers about 17 square miles, and 1.2 square miles of that is water, mainly the Swan Lake Nature Study Area, a small wetland that draws many bird species. Low ground near the lake and flat lots across the valley floor make drainage the first thing we look at here.

Plan where water goes

On flat lots, a few inches of grade decide whether storm water runs to the street or sits against the house. We set pads high enough, slope finished grade away from structures, and build swales or shallow ditches to carry runoff. Near the lake, lower lots can stay wet longer after storms, so we schedule earthwork for drier stretches.

Owners who stay put

The 2020 census counted 4,987 residents and 1,896 housing units, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 1.0 percent. Projects are usually improvements: garages, shops, RV parking and repairs.

Rural services

Many properties in the north valleys rely on wells and septic systems. We dig test pits, tank holes and leach fields to approved designs and trench water lines from wells to houses.
