Excavation Contractors in Silver Springs, NV

Excavation contractors in Silver Springs work on big, open parcels. The census-designated place covers about 77 square miles at roughly 4,200 feet, with 5,629 residents in 2020, fewer than 80 people per square mile. It sits at the junction of U.S. 50 and U.S. 95 Alternate, about 36 miles east of Carson City and 15 miles south of Interstate 80 at Fernley.

A planned desert town

In October 1949, two Los Angeles businessmen bought 1,800 acres and advertised lots in Los Angeles newspapers. Many parcels sat empty for decades, so clearing, access roads and first-time site prep are common here.

River and reservoir

The Carson River forms the community's southern and eastern edges and is dammed to create Lahontan Reservoir, with the Lahontan State Recreation Area on its shores. Lots near the water deal with different soils and rules than dry upland parcels.

Distance and planning

Because projects are far from town, we plan equipment, fuel, water and material deliveries so the job runs in as few mobilizations as possible.

The airport and open space

Silver Springs has a public airport with a 6,000-foot runway, and much of the land around it is open. Many owners are building on parcels for the first time, which means figuring out where the pad goes, how the drive reaches it and where the septic field fits with room to spare.

Dust and wind on bare ground

Clearing a desert lot leaves fine soil exposed. We clear only what the project needs, water as we go, and leave the rest of the native brush as a windbreak where it does not interfere with the plan.
