"This family owed business knocked it out of the park! I needed some serious cleanup on my property; tree trimming, tree removal, and more. Got a great quote, fast scheduling, and a beautiful finish. All of the workers I met were so friendly and happy to be on site. Will use again and recommend to friends and family over and over again. Thanks for taking care of us A.P.

"Jake and John provided demolition services for a minor subdivision in Englewood. They did an outstanding job. The job was completed on time and on budget without any surprises. I am getting ready to build a minor subdivision on the lot where they completed the demolition work. I am happy to say that they will be doing the excavation, foundations, flat work and landscaping for this project. I highly recommend them because they do a great job, have high standards and are great communicators. Thank you Jake and John! www.Kavodx.com is the real deal."

"Iâ ve used Marshall half a dozen times or more over the past 8 years. First project was scraping popcorn ceilings , tetexturing and repainting. His excellent team prompted me to recommend him many times and use him for more projects. A few other projects included installation of a large sliding patio door, electrical outlet install, shower valve replacement, drywall repair and retexturing, exterior window trim replacement, etc. You get the point - he does a variety of jobs, good quality and competitive pricing. Highly recommend Marshall and his team"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Proper soil management and thorough backfill compaction dictate the success of any excavating project in Denver. Contractors must account for expansive clay and severe freeze-thaw cycles to prevent uneven settling. Securing permits and verifying utility locations before digging prevents costly damage. Finally, actively maintaining the surface grading around your home protects your investment and ensures water drains away safely.

Helpful?

Denver sits on expansive clay soils that shrink and swell with moisture. Watch for diagonal cracks near door frames or wall corners, which indicate foundation movement. You should also look for standing water after spring snowmelt or soil pulling away from the foundation during dry summers. Address these warning signs immediately to prevent severe structural damage to your home.

Helpful?

Overwatering your foundation-adjacent plants introduces excess moisture into expansive CO soils, stressing your drainage systems. Discharging downspouts directly at the foundation or piling snow against your home also undermines recent excavating work. Avoid planting large trees near buried utility lines, and never park heavy vehicles over freshly backfilled areas, as this compresses the soil and damages buried infrastructure.

Helpful?

In Denver, the foundation perimeter requires the most excavating work due to pressure from expansive clay soils. Older homes regularly need exterior excavation to replace aging sewer laterals and water service lines. Additionally, properties with high water tables require excavated basement drainage systems. You will also need to excavate around basement sleeping rooms to install code-compliant egress window wells.

Helpful?

Completing an excavating project adds significant resale value when it resolves a known issue or expands your living space in CO. Upgrading old utility lines or installing a permitted foundation drainage system will reassure buyers. Lowering a basement floor to create more finished square footage also strongly boosts your property value. Always secure the proper permits to ensure your project adds true value.
