Excavation in Colorado: questions
Which Colorado cities have the most excavation contractors?
Colorado Springs with 55, Denver with 51, Grand Junction with 28, Pueblo with 28 and Aurora with 27 lead the Colorado list. In total we cover 118 cities in the state, 622 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Colorado?
There is no Colorado rate card: contractors quote after seeing access, soil and haul distance. As national reference points, small residential digs commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000, land clearing runs about $1,500 to $5,000 an acre, and a conventional septic install is $5,000 to $15,000. Describe one identical scope to two or three of the 622 Colorado contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Colorado contractor clear, grade and dig?
99 of the 622 contractors we list in Colorado show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Alpine Earthworks, LLC in Climax, covering 6: excavation, land clearing, septic systems and trenching & utilities. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who installs septic systems in Colorado?
53 of the 622 Colorado listings show septic installation. Those are installers, not tank pumpers; we drop pump-only outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. A perc test and a permit come before any digging, so start those early, then filter a city page by "septic systems" to see who does the work near you.
