Yards & conditions in Boise
Boise sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b with cold, snowy winters and dry, sunny summers. Local yards typically deal with alkaline, sandy-clay soils and high altitude, a short growing season, cold winters and low humidity. That’s why Boise lawns are usually planted with cold-hardy Kentucky bluegrass and fescue, with the best results in late spring and early fall. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule drainage work in Boise
Drainage problems in Boise show up worst after heavy rain, and fixes can be installed year-round. Boise’s conditions make spring and fall common times to tackle a soggy yard.

What affects your Boise drainage work price
No two Boise projects are priced the same. The biggest factors are the size of the wet area, the fix needed (French drain, regrading or a dry well), the linear footage, and how far the water must be moved. Because of that, an on-site look and an itemized quote will always beat a number pulled off the internet.

- Licensed and insured to work in ID
- Experience with Boise-area homes and conditions
- A written, itemized quote — not a vague phone estimate
