"Tatum Works showed up the next day, gave me a good price to fix my water leak (much better than the other two contractors I contacted) They finished the work faster than expected and restored my yard to the original state. We are so very happy with the entire project with Dustin and his crew. We would highly recommend this company."

"I needed weight bearing walls removed and replaced with beams, and other walls moved and reinstalled for my remodeling project. I was extremely pleased with Paragon Contracting and Consulting's work. I got multiple quotes from contractors and Paragon's was very competitive. It was obvious that Jeff Szentmartoni new what he was doing - he caught issues that other contractors did not, and explained thoroughly what needed to be done. He communicated well as the project proceeded, and he completed the work in a timely and quality manner. I would highly recommend Paragon for construction and remodeling projects. Dick Hill"

"The whole job was broken up into two parts to facilitate their schedule, our schedule and the City permitting weirdness.  Domian was there when they said they would be there, did what they said they would do and communicated it all clearly and completely before it happened.  Nathan, the business contact was extremely easy to work with and very good at communicating.  Kevin, the owner, is very knowledgeable and really knows how to get the job done.  A great combination!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Empire, CO

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
