"These guys are responsive and professional. They delivered above and beyond what I expected. They didn’t just take care of the job I called them about. They also surveyed my property and let me know that I had a tree in the alley that had grown up through wires (no wonder our tv is so sketchy. I am delighted with their attention to detail and super happy with the value received. Will absolutely call them again the next time I need tree trimming or storm clean-up."

"We hired FC&T's for full interior painting and re-finishing wood floors in our mountain home located in Alma, CO. Malcom and his team were great to work with. We were very pleased with the results and would definitely work with them again on future projects."

"Jerry exceeded expectations. I had read previous reviews from past clients and they all turned out to be spot on! Jerry is meticulous in his work, timely, communicative, and professional. Jerry clearly has a strong work ethic, is very easy to converse with, and operates with integrity. I'm delighted with the final product and would hire Swiftcreek landscaping again in a heartbeat. Jerry and his loyal crew were a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to work with throughout."

"After our home burned down we found Grand Lake Excavating to do our clean up and demo. They were great! Mike and his team handled everything with our insurance company and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on the construction of our new house."

"Highly recommend Upslope for your next excavation project. Working with Sarah and Fritz was a very pleasant and great experience. Fritz came out to my home to assess and provide an estimate for the project I wanted to get done and about a week later he was here. To say Fritz is a hard worker and incisive would be an understatement. We were having some water drainage issues from snowmelt and heavier spring/summer rains that was washing out our driveway and causing other minor flooding problems. Fritz knew exactly what to do to fix our problem and his work withstood 1.5" of rainfall the next day. He also graded our driveway in preparation for blacktopping later this year. Thank you, Upslope!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
