Land Clearing
Overgrown lots, sagebrush ground, fence lines, and ditch banks cleared down to clean, usable dirt, with the debris hauled off when you want it gone.

Grading is the difference between dirt that works and dirt that fights you. Glitter Gulch Ground Works grades and levels ground across Rexburg, Madison County and across the Snake River Valley: pads for shops, garages, and sheds, lumpy yards brought back to mowable, gravel drives re-crowned, low spots that pond every spring finally cut to drain. The machine is a skid steer with the right attachment, and the standard is simple: water leaves, dirt stays.
Around here the grade has one big test a year, and it comes in March. Snowmelt on frozen ground finds every low spot and every slope that leans the wrong way, and it tells on bad dirt work fast. We shape pads and yards so melt and irrigation runoff move away from foundations, out of gateways, and off the places you park and walk. If the site needs clearing first or a gravel surface after, it's one outfit and one estimate.

Eastern Idaho ground freezes deep and thaws messy, and a pad that was just scraped flat will heave and slump with it. A pad that lasts starts with the organics stripped off, gets built up in compacted lifts, and finishes with a slope you can't see but water can, enough fall to shed melt away from the slab in every direction.
That's how we build pads for shops, garages, hay covers, and sheds. On parcels with lava rock near the surface, common on the benches around Rexburg, we work with what the ground gives and tell you straight if what you want needs more dirt, more rock, or a different spot. You hear that before anything gets moved, not after.
Lots of yards in the valley were final-graded once, by the builder, in a hurry. Ten years later there's a dip that drowns the grass, a slope that sends water at the window well, and ruts from the one wet week somebody drove on it. Re-leveling a yard is quick work with the right attachment, and it ends with ground that mows clean and drains quiet.
On acreage it's gateways, corrals, and the spots where animals and equipment churn the same low ground every year. We cut the fall so the water quits standing, and where the traffic won't stop we'll tell you where gravel beats regrading. It's your dirt and your money; you get the honest version of what fixes it.

(701) 421-4235From the first walkthrough to the final one, here’s exactly how your project runs.
Dave comes out, looks at the actual ground — the growth, the slope, the wet spots, the access — listens to what you want done, and gives you a straight, written estimate. No pressure and no phone-quote guessing.
We lock in a date, plan machine access and where debris goes, and flag anything that needs protecting — fences, ditches, lines, the trees you want kept. You know the plan before anything starts moving.
The owner runs the machine — skid steer with the right attachment, dump trailer on hand — and works the plan you agreed to. If the ground surprises us, you hear about it and decide before it costs you anything.
We walk the finished ground with you, haul off or stack whatever the plan called for, and leave the property clean and usable — not a job site somebody abandoned.

Dump trailer hauling both directions: gravel, topsoil, and fill brought in; brush, debris, and the pile behind the barn loaded and gone.
Learn MoreGlitter Gulch is owner-operated: the guy who walks your property and shakes your hand is the guy on the skid steer doing the work. Nothing gets lost between the estimate and the job, and nobody treats your ground like a subcontract.
Based right here in the valley, not trucked in from Boise or Salt Lake. We know this ground — the sage benches, the river bottoms, the lava rock, the frost — because it is the same ground we live on.
You get an honest walk-the-property estimate and a plain-English price — no surprise add-ons, no lowball-then-upcharge. We tell you what the job really takes, then we show up and do it.
A skid steer with the right attachment and a dump trailer handle the clearing, grading, stump, and hauling work this valley actually needs — and they get into yards and gates big iron cannot, without wrecking everything on the way in.
