Expert Rough Grading in Lewiston, ID

Rough grading is the first major earthwork step on any construction site. It shapes raw land into a stable, workable surface before any structure, driveway, or utility work begins. At Evergreen Tree Service and Excavation LLC, we handle rough grading for residential and commercial properties across Lewiston, Idaho and the surrounding communities. We cut high spots, fill low areas, and move soil to match the planned elevation of your project. The terrain around Lewiston and the Clearwater River valley includes slopes, bench lands, and loess-based soils that shift and settle if not handled correctly. Getting the rough grade right from the start protects everything built on top of it. Poor early grading leads to drainage problems, uneven foundations, and costly rework later. We started this business to do honest work we can be proud of, and that starts with getting the ground right before anything else goes in. Call us to talk through your project.

I highly recommend, Tyler with Evergreen tree cutting business! He had a great response time and arrived exactly when he said he would.His quote was very competitive, and the work was outstanding — my trees look perfect. The clean-up afterward was amazing; you’d never know they’d been here except for how great the yard looks now. Very professional young man — polite, efficient, and clearly takes pride in his work. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this service again!
