Our Project Process

How It Works

At Flathead Excavation, we follow a structured approach to ensure every project is completed efficiently, safely, and to your satisfaction. Here's how we bring your vision to life:

1. Initial Consultation & Site Evaluation

We assess your property's specific challenges in Flathead County - examining soil type, seasonal impacts, drainage patterns, and local permit requirements.

This evaluation helps prevent costly surprises and ensures your project starts with a solid understanding of site conditions.

2. Customized Planning & Design

We develop site-specific plans that account for Flathead County's unique challenges - from rocky terrain near Whitefish to clay soils in the valleys.

Each plan details exactly how we'll handle your site's particular combination of soil, slope, and drainage needs.

3. Expert Execution & Supervision

Using techniques developed for Montana's varied terrain, we manage everything from rock breaking to clay soil compaction, adapting to local conditions.

Our experience with Flathead County's diverse soil types means we know exactly how to handle whatever challenges your site presents.

4. Final Inspection & Clean Up

We ensure proper drainage and soil stability before completion, crucial for Montana's freeze-thaw cycles and long term site success.

This final step guarantees your property is ready for the next phase, whether that's construction, landscaping, or immediate use.

Peter and Josiah do it all. On a recent project, they fine-tuned the driveway, completely recontoured a sloped site, installed a specialty ground-to-air heat transfer system, built trails, installed culverts and waterlines among other things. They are very conscientious and focused on getting the job done right the first time. We have a drain field, another driveway, and other projects waiting for them when the ground thaws.

Peter and his team were incredible to work with - very detail oriented, professional, creative and efficient. The deck/roof and skirting for my yurt in West Glacier turned out better than I could have imagined. They went above and beyond on the project, and their communication was fantastic. I look forward to working with them again and cannot recommend them enough!

I am so fortunate to have come across this company. Everything they did was spot on. I just had a general idea what I wanted and they did the most incredible job. In the end the revision of my old rotten deck was so well done with great craftsmanship. I expected to have to clean up after them, but they left the site immaculate. Friendly, respectful, timely, great communicators all the great adjectives. Thank you to all who worked on this project! Hire this company, you will not regret it.
