"Garrett was so helpful and professional. He was the first person to contact me and gave me the best estimate. He arrive on time. He hauled everything by himself. I was impressed. I have saved his contact information in my phone as I will have more items to haul."

"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."

"They understood my problems with the pavers rising in certain areas and provided good solutions. They also showed me some leaks that I was unaware of in my water feature. They showed up on time; the crew was professional and courteous: the price was reasonable. I felt the quality workmanship showed and if something wasn't quite right, they fixed it. If I have landscaping issues in the future, I will hire them again."

"The owner Stephen was on top of this job. He communicated with me several times to ensure the time and date was good for my schedule prior to scheduling. He was very professional and knowledgeable of the three trees I wanted trimmed back. During the job, he made a few suggestions that would help with final appearance and didn't charge me for the extra cuts. I wanted to keep the larger limbs to burn in my woodstove and told Stephen I would cut them into manageable lengths. Well, guess what. He cut them into wood stove lengths for me. Cleanup was also exceptional. He hauled away the limbs and left no evidence of the tree trimming even being done! Overall, the experience was well above my expectations. Cost was extremely fair, and his professionalism was off the charts. I will definitely recommend Tree Toppin Services to anyone looking for help with tree maintenance."

FAQs for excavation projects in Manitou Springs, 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.
