"I hired Karsten for a full bathroom remodel. He gutted out old tub, tile, fixtures and counter. I had him install an arched shower floor to ceiling with a shelf and entirely new fixtures. He did the framing, plumbing, tile, and painting for the bathroom making it entirely custom. I’m very happy with the bathroom and the professionalism of Karsten and his team. Thank you !"

"We contacted City Farmer (Chuck/Charlie Wiegand) to have our sprinkler system manifold replaced. We needed yard zones (front & back) repaired and replaced. A new line with new sprinkler heads was also required. During this process, Chuck designed & installed new sprinkler heads that ultimately gave the very best coverage for the new landscape as well as yard coverage for both front & back areas?? He designed & recommended all for our back yard oasis ?.. including ideas for patio, trees, plants, gravel, stone elements, etc.) to accommodate our shady back yard while keeping everything environmentally friendly ?. thereby creating a very pleasing & relaxing atmosphere?? All work was done in a very professional & efficient manner. Chuck?s promises were kept and changes were addressed and resolved quickly. We are very pleased with the work and will highly recommend him to everyone??"

"Three Peak Enterprises, did a phenomenal job on our land. From the beginning Alex was very communicative, very professional and above all very fair on his Quote. Once we agreed and decided to proceed him and his team came out and began work promptly and were able to deliver an end result in a timely and effective manner. They have brand new and very clean equipment which speaks to their professionalism. Overall great to work with and would absolutely recommend!"

"We have about 35 movable acres that we just purchased, and without any equipment to take care of it. I came across this company because of a friend recommendation, and we were not displeased at all. Mike was very nice, professional, courteous, and kept us updated on what he was doing and how it was going. Just an overall great experience."

FAQs for excavation projects in Watkins, 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.
