Landscape construction and excavation in Basalt, El Jebel and Missouri Heights
Complete sitework and landscape construction for the mid-valley: new-construction landscapes in Willits and Basalt, and excavation, septic and dry-country plantings on the rural lots of Missouri Heights.
The mid-valley is where most of the new construction in the Roaring Fork Valley happens. Willits and the Basalt town core are dense and finished to a high standard. Across Highway 82, Missouri Heights climbs onto a wide mesa of rural lots with wells, septic systems, wind and long views.
Ridgeline works both. In town, that means landscape construction from architects' plans, coordinated with builders on tight lots. On the Heights, it means excavation, driveway building, septic installation, drainage and native landscapes that survive dry, exposed ground. Our yard in Carbondale is about fifteen minutes away.

Services in Basalt
Building in Basalt.
Missouri Heights soils and exposure
Mesa soils are often tight and clay-heavy, and the wind and sun are relentless. Drainage, soil preparation, irrigation zoning and plant selection are built around that.
Wells and septic
Most Missouri Heights lots are on wells and onsite wastewater systems. Ridgeline holds OWTS installer licensing and installs septic as part of the site work.
New-construction coordination
In Willits and Basalt, landscape goes in behind several other trades on small lots. We claim base prep, sleeving and site restoration so nothing falls between contractors.
Rivers and setbacks
Properties along the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan carry riparian setbacks and review requirements. We build to approved drawings.
