"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!"

Customers say: True professional

"Our house has typical crummy clay soil which drains poorly and we were concerned about our foundation. We also had a prominent negative slope towards the house so we hired Bill and his team at vintage Stoneworks. Bill is a wonderfully knowledgeable contractor with a great sense of humor and hard work ethic. He knew about subtle concerns or pitfalls and fixed them without making me feel like it was a way to make additional money but more out of true concern. Bill was often on the work site doing the more complicated tasks and he had reliable and friendly workers who assisted him. I would 100% hire Bill if you need help with drainage, resloping or repairing retaining walls. Thanks Bill!!!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I highly recommend this company. Fran Garcia, the owner, did an outstanding job on our basement remodel. Every stage of this project went smoothly, from the initial design to the finishing touches. I felt Fran went out of his way to provide excellent value. In addition, he did a great job of communicating with us. He was always willing to answer questions and provide advice. Overall, my wife and I were thrilled with the work, and we would definitely hire Fran again."

"Dustin immediately followed up with my initial request with an email, then a phone call. He answered all of my questions and provided information that was useful and helpful. His project quote was very reasonable, he returned phone calls and would follow up when he said he would. BMG did quality work and was very happy and satisfied with the outcome of this project. I had three additional companies that I contacted for quotes: one didn't bother calling back, and one didn't even ask any questions about our project. They threw out a figure that was nearly TRIPLE of what BMG quoted. When I asked them, "why their price estimate was so incredibly high," the rep stated, "that's just what it is!" BMG will have my fence and deck projects in the future!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Louisville, 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.
