Owner-Led Expertise. Atlas Earthmoving is led by LeeJoe Lay, an Idaho excavation professional with 38 years in the dirt. As LeeJoe puts it, “I’ve moved more dirt than most people have ever seen.” That depth of field judgment is built into every plan and bid.

Generations of Experience. Our Boise heritage dates back to 1966. Between LeeJoe (38 years), Steve (60 years), and Cameron (25 years), our team brings 120+ years of combined experience to your project.

3,500+ Projects Completed. From neighborhoods to mountain properties and large commercial pads, we’ve completed an estimated 3,500 projects—and we treat the next one like our reputation depends on it.

Consultation Comes First. We slow down at the start—site walk, soils sense-check, scope alignment—so we can move fast later without backtracking. That’s how we reduce unexpected costs and avoid unnecessary work.

Built for Idaho Conditions. We design for Treasure Valley realities: freeze-thaw cycles, spring moisture, irrigation influences, and hillside drainage. Systems that look good on paper don’t matter if they fail in February.

Licensed, Insured, & Local. We’re a local Idaho company, licensed and insured, with equipment ownership and the skilled operators to match. You’re never guessing who will show up or how it’ll be done.

Quality Over Cut-Rate. We don’t chase low-bid shortcuts that risk safety, code compliance, and long-term durability. If you’re comparing numbers, we’ll show you how our approach saves money over the life of the project.
