"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"Tanner and his crew were absolutely amazing. Tanner was able to get me an estimate in a timely manner and very reasonably priced. I couldn't believe how nice and fun his crew was they had my driveway installed in no time, actually a day early! I have no doubt its going to last for years to come. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs an excavator!"

"Steve was so wonderful to work with. We needed someone to excavate and grade our side yard in preparation for laying gravel. He was very timely in getting us scheduled and his work was very well done. Overall, Steve was a clear communicator, gave a fair price, and took care to ensure we were happy with the results of his work. I would highly recommend him!"

They removed to deck boards, to determine the repair, it turned out to be a quicker repair than it might have been, then they put in new insulation in the garage area where the leak was, drywall, and drywall, painting, texturing, and done. the whole job took 3-4 days. 2 guys each day."

Customers say: True professional

"Bill at Vintage Stone Works has an amazing depth and breadth of experience. He has built homes from the ground up and now focuses on rehabbing. We have lived in our house for 16 years, and we had fairly severe cracks in our brick and mortar. Bill fixed those to the point where it's hard to even notice where they were fixed. He also was able to address structural issues by installing steel brackets for additional support. He is a skilled craftsman and also an artist. He got paint that matches with the color our brick almost perfectly. Our house is over 60 years old, so he even got 2 slightly different kinds of paint to address differences caused by UV weathering! Bill also was able to fix the bricks that had settled/broken off our chimney - he installed a new concrete footer under the chimney and doweled into the house foundation so that the chimney will never move again! I would absolutely recommend Bill for brick work, structural work, and concrete work. He even did a couple things that weren't in his scope and didn't charge anything for it - like some additional grading work around the house. Bill has great pride in his work, and he was excited to bring my house back to life. When he was done, my house looked 30 years younger!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Erie, 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.
