4A Farms LLC.

4A Farms is registered with the state as a general contractor, with excavation, grading and land clearing as its specialty, and the company dates to 2018. The work it advertises covers the full run of getting raw ground ready to build on: clearing land, forestry work and brush piling, tree removal, cutting in driveway access, building or removing roads, digging basements, utility ditching, demolition and septic installation. The state lists Virgle Alltus and Toni Alltus as principals since 2018. The focus is residential property. This suits someone with acreage north of Spokane who needs a site opened up, a driveway pushed in, a basement hole dug or a septic trench cut, and who'd rather deal directly with the person running the machine. It's an earthwork business, so framing, roofing and the rest of the house go to other trades. Large public infrastructure work isn't what this outfit does either. Before comparing excavation bids, have the job written down in the same terms for everyone. Mark where the house, driveway and septic field are meant to go, and get the septic design from the county or your designer so each contractor digs to the same plan. Note how many trees come out and whether stumps and slash are hauled, burned or piled. Ask whether spoils stay on site, who brings in gravel for the driveway base, and how utility locates are handled. Ground around Deer Park can turn up rock and wet spots, so ask each bidder how they price surprises once the dig starts.
