"Jake and John provided demolition services for a minor subdivision in Englewood. They did an outstanding job. The job was completed on time and on budget without any surprises. I am getting ready to build a minor subdivision on the lot where they completed the demolition work. I am happy to say that they will be doing the excavation, foundations, flat work and landscaping for this project. I highly recommend them because they do a great job, have high standards and are great communicators. Thank you Jake and John! www.Kavodx.com is the real deal."

"Workers showed up on time and kept it great communication. Clean and respectful of property. Marco Construction provided great rates and were a pleasure to work with. When working with Mark and his team, it is best to come to the plate with everything you want to do. They did great working with me on my deck through each board and nail. I would advise you to do your homework and know everything you want done before hand. It will make the process a lot easier on you and them. If I had it over to do again, I would have them replace my whole deck and not piecemill each board. But if you need your deck refurbished or rebuilt, these guys will do well for you at a fair price and you might make a few friends in the process."

"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."

"We hired them to grade our driveway and take away all the excess dirt and concrete we had left from our construction project. They were very receptive to our needs and confirmed during and after the completion of the job if everything was done to our satisfaction. They worked hard and had everything done within one day. Throughout the day every team member was courteous and professional. If you want the job done, and want it done right, we would highly recommend them."

"Great experience from bid to completion! Alex was the most proactive of all the businesses we RFP’d on our project and his excellent communication followed throughout the entire process. He understood our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we were pleased with the final result. We would most definitely hire Three Peak Enterprises again in the future! A+++ Highly Recommend!"

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Aurora, CO

The time required to dig a 100-foot trench varies significantly depending on soil conditions and the type of equipment used. Most residential projects using walk-behind trenchers take between two and four hours for this length. Soft soil allows for faster progress, while rocky or clay-heavy ground requires more time. If you're new to operating trenching equipment, allow for additional time to learn the controls and work at a comfortable pace.

Standard trenches measure between 12 and 24 inches deep and approximately eight inches wide, which is within the capability of most walk-behind trenchers. The exact depth capacity varies by model and manufacturer. For specialized projects, such as French drain installation, an 18-inch depth is standard. Always confirm the specific depth capabilities of your rental equipment before beginning your project.

While formal certification isn't always required, basic training is highly recommended before operating trenching equipment. Most rental companies provide operational instructions and safety guidelines when you pick up the equipment. If you're uncomfortable with heavy machinery or have a particularly challenging site, consider hiring professionals. For those proceeding with DIY trenching, start slowly and practice in an open area before tackling your actual project.

For typical residential irrigation systems, a walk-behind trencher is generally sufficient. These systems require trenches between six and 12 inches deep, depending on your local frost line and system specifications. The narrow trenches produced by walk-behind models are ideal for installing standard irrigation pipes. For larger properties or particularly challenging soil conditions, consider a more powerful model.

Contact your local utility marking service before any digging project to identify underground hazards. Remove obstacles, rocks, and lawn furniture from your work area and planned trench path. Mark your intended trench line using stakes or marking paint to ensure straight, properly aligned trenches. Having a plan for soil disposal and eventual backfilling will also streamline your project and minimize rental time.

First-time operators often encounter issues with blade clogging in wet or clay-heavy soil. Hitting unmarked underground utilities can cause service disruptions and create safety hazards. Many DIYers underestimate project timelines, resulting in rushed work or additional rental days. Trench wall collapse can occur in unstable soil conditions. Following manufacturer guidelines, maintaining appropriate speeds, and thoroughly preparing your site can help avoid these common complications.
