About Cidnola

A Code-First Excavation Crew for Bozeman

Cidnola handles land excavation and grading for property owners, builders, and contractors across Bozeman, Montana and the surrounding Gallatin County. We run site preparation, foundation and basement digs, utility trenching, land clearing, drainage work, and structural fill, and we run all of it the same way: to code, with the inspection in mind from the first bucket.

The reason we lead with safety is simple. A trench that fails hurts people, and a pad that settles ruins the building on top of it. So every cut 5 feet deep or greater gets a protective system under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P, a competent person inspects each excavation daily, and 811 marks the underground lines before we dig. It is the two-business-day step that keeps a project on schedule instead of tangled with a struck gas line.

What Sets Us Apart

• 811 on every dig. We schedule the free utility locate before any machine breaks ground, from Baxter Lane to the newest subdivision off Durston Road.
• Compaction you can trust. Structural fill is placed in lifts and tested to 95 percent of maximum dry density, so footings sit on verified subgrade.
• Emergency response. We keep a crew on call for cave-ins and utility strikes and can often reach a Gallatin County site the same day.
• Local and accountable. A Bozeman-based crew that shares its credentials on request and stands behind the work.
