"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."

""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.""

"I've used this company to regrade the drainage slope that moves the water away from my house. They were here to correct the work that was performed by another contractor. The work more than met expectations and the cost was very competitive. On another occasion, OAKDEN ENTERPRISES corrected a sloping wall on a post and beam barn. They did a great job at a great price."

"Awesome company! Owner is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions! Owner and his crew are great and hardworking! Even though during our project the snow and cold temperatures were a hurdle at times, they performed outstanding work with attention to detail. I highly recommend them for any turf project or landscaping project you want to pursue! We definitely will use them again in the future!"

"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."

"Super happy with how our backyard turned out working with Chris and his team! We received several quotes and they were by far the most cost effective and were able to get us in the quickest. We moved into our home last year and the backyard was severely neglected and had drainage issues. We had the Northwind team come in and fix our walkway to the backyard, bring in top soil and add in sod! It turned out awesome - we are so happy with it!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
