Environment West Inc.

Public agencies make up a real part of the record. Between 2009 and 2014 Environment West filed prevailing-wage work for the City of Airway Heights, Spokane School District 81, the City of Liberty Lake, the Spokane Public Facilities District and Coulee Community Hospital, usually as the prime contractor. Permits pulled on its licence run from 2012 to 2022 in Spokane and Spokane Valley, mostly residential plumbing permits of the kind that go with irrigation work, plus a right-of-way permit in the Valley. The crew runs in the 21 to 30 range. The state lists Stephen Smart, Sandra Smart and Kurt Kneeland as principals since 1980, and Scott Aitchison since 2022. This is a site and landscape outfit built for bigger jobs: grading and excavation ahead of a new house or shop, placing a building and driveway on raw land, or a full landscape with paver and stone work and an irrigation system. Commercial and institutional work makes up more of its book than residential. A small repair or a quick patch on an existing yard is a better fit for a smaller crew. Landscape and excavation demand in Spokane bunches up hard once the ground thaws. Spring and early summer fill quickly with new builds, irrigation startups and patio projects, and companies that also carry municipal work get busier still. Design conversations go best over the winter, so a plan and a spot on the schedule are set before the season opens. Concrete and planting both have windows that close as fall frosts arrive, which pushes late requests into the next year.
