Retention & Detention Ponds in Athol

Retention & Detention Ponds built for Kootenai County ground

Located on the northern edge of the prairie, Athol sits on a thick layer of glacial gravel and massive "A-size" cobble that tests even our best operators. Any excavation here in northern Kootenai County involves managing these large stones while prepping sites for the heavy snow loads and frost depths typical of the Athol corridor. We often use the excavated rock found on-site in Athol to create naturalistic landscape features, turning the site's biggest geological challenge into its most unique aesthetic asset.

That local read is the part that matters. Every retention & detention ponds job we take on in Athol starts with the same discipline: read the soil, read the drainage, and read what the freeze-thaw cycle will do to the finished work three winters from now. Family-owned since 2005 and still run by the Gladish family — the same crew that walks your property is the crew that builds it.
