"We had an excellent experience with Elevated Environments from start to finish. Nick listened to what we needed and kept revising as we went until we came up with the perfect plan. Communication was excellent throughout. The crew was unobtrusive and efficient. Our drainage problem is fixed and we ended up with a beautiful fire pit area. We cannot recommend this company more highly."

"Jen2 Excavating is an exceptional company in multiple ways. Yes, Marcus Garcia and his Jen2 team are prompt, polite, hardworking, from start to finish and estimate and price the work accurately and fairly. There is more to the story. We attempted to contact eight Pueblo and Pueblo West Companies to clear the tall grass, weeds, and brush that was rapidly overtaking our desert landscaped property. We sent them all a brief standardized description of the work and the land areas involved. Jen2 alone, responded immediately, came out the same day to estimate the work, and a week later our acre size yard was restored and cleared, and we were delighted with the work done. The other service companies contacted either failed to respond altogether or sent prefabricated emails and text messages within the time it took Jen2 to finish the work. So, start by contacting Jen2 if you have tall grass, weeds, and brush removal job, and avoid the disinterested candidates."

"From the very beginning our experience with Kessler, Inc has been exemplary. We were in need of a specific septic system for our new build up in Crystal Park. Not very many companies will work up here unfortunately because it is very challenging. We had pleasant and informative communication from the start with Levi from texts messages and emails to coming out to view our property. He listened to our needs and not only was Levi able to construct a state of the art septic system on the side of the mountain but this marvel also drew the attention of El Paso county engineering who sent a team out to view it. Levi has since tackled so many more extensive projects like building a retaining wall that covers the entire upper portion of our driveway that runs along the back of our home and into the custom swim spa that his is building for us to digging out a large space to install our underground propane tank. He has also excavated a large chunk of the mountain out to widen our switchback driveway that he built the reinforced retaining wall for. He trenched our entire driveway to lay pipes for our water lines, our gas lines, and our septic. We have a water feature planned for our future and we know our vision is in beyond capable hands with Levi. Levi is also just genuinely good person. He has a very positive attitude and always pleasant even with all the hard work he and his team put in. Everyone is super friendly and we are happy to have them here with us helping make our dream come true. We trust Levi and his team in and around our home. Even had Levi lock up our home and close our garage on many occasions. We are so happy to have found Levi. You know you have a great partnership with a business owner and his team when you keep seeing more and more projects we know we can trust Kessler, Inc to not only take care of our needs but do it all with exemplary work. Hereâ  s to many more years of partnership and beautiful projects to come."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
