Retention & Detention Ponds in Potlatch

Retention & Detention Ponds built for Latah County ground

Nestled in the valley, the ground in Potlatch is heavily influenced by the Palouse River and the historical footprint of the local timber industry. We deal with complex soil profiles across Potlatch and Latah County that require careful compaction and structural fill to handle the transition from forest duff to the clay-heavy townsite. Our crews are particularly careful around old mill sites in Potlatch, where subsurface debris from the early 1900s can often be found lurking just a few feet below the surface.

That local read is the part that matters. Every retention & detention ponds job we take on in Potlatch 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.
