"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"I highly recommend Cruz Landscaping. We needed to fix the negative drainage for our new house and I was struggling to find the right contractor for the job. Cruz immediately understood the drainage issue and thought of the big picture and how to combine grading, concrete and downspouts management to fix the issue. He also proposed different options to fit our budget instead of trying to upsell me. When it came to execution, they were flawless. Cruz and his son were on time every day, started when they said they would and ended when they said they would. Through the process they were very polite and communicative with me and my family. The owner himself was there every day. The final product looked even better than I expected, and you could tell they paid attention to details. The work spoke for itself, since one of my neighbors immediately hired them for a job! I am so glad I found this company and will use them again for future landscaping projects!"

"Rich Che and the CNS Empire Landscape crew did fabulous improvements on our family home in Wheat Ridge. They corrected drainage on three sides of an addition so water flows away from the house instead of into the crawlspace; replaced 30 feet of exit pipe from the perimeter drain around the foundation of the addition; installed new sod; and removed weeds from landscaped rock areas in the front yard. The improvements look great. Shortly afterwards, I engaged an inspector to check the foundation. The inspector said he visits about 400 houses each year, and this drainage remediation is among the best he’s seen."

"My wife and I decided it was time to xeriscape our front yard and we wanted to do it ourselves. The first thing we needed to do is have our beautiful lawn of 45 years removed. It was hard to say goodbye to an old friend but it was time. So, enter Miguel and crew with Summit Landscaping to do this back breaking job. They removed 1,201 sq ft of grass, cleaned up the area, and were finished and on their way in 4 hours. Now we can start transforming our front yard into a beautifully low to no water landscaped area. Thank you Miquel and crew. You all did a fantastic job!"

"Tanner and his crew were professional and thorough. They took care to minimize the impact of having a small loader in my yard, and rehung the gate to the back yard better than it was before. Well done and would recommend."

"Hired them to do some manual excavation in my backyard. It was one of those small jobs that itâ s tough to find someone to do for you. Small perhaps for them, but huge for us. From the first phone call to the end of the job, customer service and communication was outstanding. As far as the work, they did a fantastic job - hauled away the excess dirt and cleaned the site. Highly recommend them, and I will certainly use them again for any future needs."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.
