Excavation in Clinton, MT

Clinton is country property. Head east from Missoula up the Clark Fork along I-90 and the lots get bigger, the driveways get longer, and city water and sewer are mostly behind you. That changes what a place needs from an excavator.

On acreage, you're usually responsible for all of it: the septic, the line from the well to the house, the road in and the pad the house sits on. Elevated Dirt Works handles that from one crew, so you aren't coordinating three contractors who each point at the others when something doesn't line up.

We're a Lolo-based, locally owned company, licensed, bonded and insured. We come out and look before we quote, at no charge, because a property you can't see from the road isn't something we'll price over the phone.

Clinton is in Missoula County, and septic work here is permitted by the Missoula City-County Health Department. Get that permit before a new or replacement system goes in, not after. The design depends on what the test pits show. That's why we dig them early: it keeps you from planning a house around a drain field spot that won't work.

Before any digging, somebody has to call Montana811. The law requires it, even on rural land where you're sure nothing is buried. Power, phone and forgotten lines turn up in places nobody remembers. We make the call and wait for locates before the bucket goes in. Owners down the river in Bonner go through the same county steps.
