Excavation Contractors in Sun Valley, NV

Excavation contractors in Sun Valley usually work on smaller lots in a crowded valley. The census-designated place sits about three miles north of Reno on State Route 443, at roughly 4,725 feet, and fits 21,178 people into about 14.6 square miles. That is more than 1,450 people per square mile, one of the denser communities in the north valleys.

Housing has barely grown

Sun Valley had 6,703 housing units in 2000 and 6,807 in 2020, so nearly all the homes are decades old. Water and sewer services, settled yards, failing retaining walls and worn gravel parking are the jobs that come up most.

Hillside lots

The valley climbs on both sides. Many lots are cut into slopes, with short walls holding up driveways or back yards. Regrading to move water away from foundations and rebuilding parking areas on a slope require careful planning of where excess soil goes.

Access

Narrow streets and close neighbors mean compact equipment, trucks staged without blocking driveways, and mats to protect what we drive over. Smaller loads and more trips are sometimes cheaper than tearing out a fence.

Common Sun Valley jobs

• Water and sewer service trenches
• Regrading and swales on sloped lots
• Gravel parking and small RV pads
• Footings and pads for sheds and carports
• Hauling old concrete and debris

Retaining walls and slopes

Many Sun Valley lots rely on short walls to hold drives or back yards. When a wall fails, we excavate behind it, add drainage stone and backfill to the new wall design so water does not push it over again.
