Excavation is the controlled removal of earth to prepare a site for construction. This includes clearing vegetation and debris, rough grading, foundation excavation, utility trenching, and final grading after construction. In Colorado, soil conditions vary significantly — from expansive clay soils on the plains to rocky terrain in the foothills.
Who Is This For?
New construction projects, homeowners adding a foundation or basement, and property owners requiring site clearing, grading, or drainage improvements.
