"Steve and Tent did a wonderful job. The job turned into a bigger project than originally planned and Steve took it all in stride. He resloped the front of the property after installing 9 huge blocks for a retention wall, then reshaped the driveway and parking deck. It's exactly what I wanted! Thanks Steve for having the same sight I did!"

"We needed a walk way widened. These guys took out the old regraded and poured the new walk in. Got it done very quick and it looks great. They cleaned up very nicely and raked the yard out when they were finished. I will have them back for more work in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Overwatering your lawn near repaired areas will re-saturate the clay soil, causing it to expand and ruin recent excavating. Directing roof downspouts toward backfilled trenches also erodes the soil quickly. In Montrose, driving heavy vehicles over freshly filled trenches causes severe settling. Planting aggressive cottonwood trees near sewer lines and failing to winterize irrigation systems will create frost heave that destroys compacted earth.

Helpful?

You can identify the need for excavating by looking for specific signs around your property. Watch for standing water that persists after summer monsoons, sinkholes near older septic systems, or sewage odors in your yard. Montrose has expansive clay soils, so foundation cracks that worsen during spring snowmelt also indicate a need for professional digging. Minor foundation cracks without water intrusion only require surface-level waterproofing.

Helpful?

Your property layout will complicate excavating if you have irrigation ditches crossing your land, as these require strict coordination. Older homes in CO often feature fragile clay sewer pipes that require careful handling. Sloped lots near mesa edges demand special shoring to prevent soil collapse. Additionally, hard caliche layers hidden just below the surface require specialized equipment to break through during the digging process.

Helpful?

Several types of professionals handle excavating across CO. General contractors manage site preparation and land grading for new subdivisions. Utility specialists focus on trenching for water and gas lines, while septic experts handle rural waste systems. Foundation specialists manage basement digging in expansive clay. Finally, irrigation excavators maintain agricultural drainage ditches, and trenchless specialists offer alternative pipeline repairs that avoid tearing up established streets.

Helpful?

Watch out for quotes that skip utility locates, as state law requires contacting the utility tracking system before any excavating. Avoid contractors who ignore soil disposal plans, since Montrose has limited fill options for heavy clay and caliche. A reliable quote must include proper dewatering provisions for monsoon season and show proof of general liability insurance. Reject any proposal that lacks detailed surface restoration plans.
