Excavation & site work — Grand Junction, Colorado

The ground doesn’t move itself.

Cut, trench, pad, road. Site prep, utilities, foundations, driveways and demolition across the Grand Valley.

01 — Services

The line, section by section.

Five services, one continuous line through the ground — a cut here, a trench there, a pad flattened and a road run out to it.

01 — Cut

Site prep & grading

Topsoil stripped, cut and fill balanced, and the pad brought to the elevation on the drawing. This is the part of the job everything else is built on top of.

02 — Trench

Utility trenching

Water, sewer, power and gas lines opened, bedded and backfilled. Trench walls kept clean and straight so the pipe goes in once.

03 — Pad

Foundation excavation

Footings and slabs excavated to line and to depth, with overdig and spoil handled as we go. Left ready for formwork.

04 — Road

Driveways & road building

Long runs of driveway and access road, built up and compacted in lifts from the county road to the build site. Grade held so water leaves the surface instead of living on it.

05 — Demo

Demolition & haul-off

Structures down, concrete broken, rubble loaded out. The debris leaves with us and the ground stays cut to the line you asked for.

02 — Work

The work, halfway through.

Most of what we do is only visible for a few days — long enough to cut it, shape it and get out of the way of the next trade.

03 — Approach

How the line gets drawn.

Four steps, in order, every time. The order is the method.

  1. 01

    Walk the site

    We look at the ground before we talk numbers: how a truck gets in, where the slope falls, what is sitting under the topsoil and where the water wants to go.

  2. 02

    Read the drawing

    Bring plans, a survey, or a sketch on the back of an envelope. The pad, the trench and the road all start as lines on paper — that is the language we work in.

  3. 03

    Move the ground

    Cut, trench and grade to the plan, with haul-off handled as we go rather than piled up and left for the end of the job.

  4. 04

    Leave it ready

    Level, compacted and clean enough that the next trade can walk onto it and start.

04 — Area

Grand Junction and the valley out.

Two kinds of jobs, mostly. Builders who need a site cut, trenched and ready before the trades show up. And landowners past the edge of town who need a road in, a pad flat, or a knob of ground knocked down so a building can sit on it.

  • Site prep & grading Pads, cuts, finish grade
  • Utility trenching Water, sewer, power, gas
  • Foundation excavation Footings & slabs
  • Driveways & road building Access roads, base and grade
  • Demolition & haul-off Structures, concrete, debris out

Bring us a drawing. We’ll bring the line down to it.

Send the address, the drawing if you have one, and what needs to move. If there is no drawing yet, tell us what the ground has to end up doing and we will take it from there.
