Excavation in Huson, MT

Out in Huson, a lot of the work happens before anything gets built. Rural parcels west of Missoula along I-90, out near the Ninemile, often come with timber to clear, a long way in from the road and no sewer to tie into. Somebody has to open the ground up and get it ready.

That's the kind of job Elevated Dirt Works is set up for. We run compact excavators and a tracked skid steer, which get into wooded ground without tearing up more than they need to. Less disturbance means less to clean up and fewer ruts in the driveway you're about to build. We're licensed, bonded and insured, locally owned, and based in Lolo.

Planning your own build? We can take the site from raw land to ready for the foundation crew. Builders with a job out this way get a sub that works to their schedule and says so early when something changes.

Huson falls under Missoula County. Septic systems out here are permitted by the Missoula City-County Health Department, and the permit has to be in hand before a system goes in. Treat the permit as part of your build schedule and start it early, rather than finding out later that it's what is holding up the foundation.

Every dig also needs a Montana811 locate request first. It's required by law, and it applies whether we're trenching a waterline or setting a culvert. We handle the call. Winter projects depend on frost, snow and access; call and we'll tell you what's realistic. Neighbors toward Frenchtown work through the same county process.
