"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."

""Exceptionally well. Craftsperson Joe Puch carefully explained the repair steps and reasons for them. He did so at various points in the work progress. His work was meticulous. His manner was professional, polite and personable, right from punctual arrival to final clean-up of the work area. One of the best experiences I've ever had with a home services/repair contractor. Highly recommended.""

"David, excavated old septic tank, replaced with new tank, hooked up tank to house, filled in and covered the new tank. Leveled the land, raked the area affected and applied grass seed. Clean up was great! Was always available to answer questions. We would hire him again."

"These guys repaired my wooden fence from the January windstorm. Dug out and replaced 7 posts and reattached 10 - 8' sections. They showed up and worked through a January snow to get it done fast. Good price too."

"Eddie Caballeros completed my dirt removal job as promised, on schedule. His communication with me was great with frequent updates. He gave me a good quote and was available when I needed the job done. Eddie and Abel worked very hard, choosing hand shoveling to save the tree, I was impressed. The finished job was better than I expected with a good attention to the finishing touches. It looked nice! I would hire Eddie and his company again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
