"I hired Canyon Dirt Works to redo my driveway with gravel. I needed a French drain in front of my garage to prevent runoff. Chris and his crew did an excellent job! Even redoing a parking area in front of my house. Work was beyond my expectations."

"Eric came to us highly recommended. We discussed the project and he was able to get us on the schedule fairly quick. As the project progressed, he had an idea for drainage issues we had. We agreed to have him move forward with it. The drainage issue is resolved along with the original work of removing several tons of rock and regrading for water drainage and natural plant growth on our land. Eric was always friendly, easy to discuss our problems with, and had great solutions. We had landscapers quote us up to 2 weeks to finish this work and Eric completed it in 4 days with excellent quality."

"My barns used to flood badly whenever it rained, but since Eco contractings re-grading, there is no more flooding! I am very happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of grading work. Michael was professional and returned my call immediately and addressed any concerns I had about the project. The price was very reasonable for the work they did and I could not be happier."

FAQs for excavation projects in Monument, 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.
