Dave was great!! He helped us quickly with our project and was very responsive.
- Samuel Haack
Great Divide was wonderful for us! Our standpipe for our horse water broke just when the horses were drinking 200+ gallons of water a day. There was no way we could be without water! They came right away and ended up having to do a lot of extra work to even access the water main. They had to go all the way to Idaho Falls (2 hours each way) to get the right parts to fix it, and they made sure it was up and running (literally) as fast as humanly possible. The guys were really nice and helpful and we felt we were getting top notch service every step of the way. If you need services we highly recommend them. They are fast and reliable!

Great Divide Earthworks is a go to for any and all of your excavation needs. We have turned to them for building excavation, septic and leach field installation, slab prep, and finish grade for landscaping to name a few. Dave and his crew have an attention to detail that you don't often find in excavation. Their skilled operators in conjunction with the latest BIM and Lidar tech in the cab ensures you are getting exactly what was designed. With Dave's knowledge base and years of experience, he has helped problem solve some of the more challenging site conditions we have had. Finally, and I can't say this enough, he takes PRIDE in his work! I will definitely coming back to these guys for future work!
