What to Know About Excavation in Fort Collins

Common questions answered.

Why is grading important before foundation work?

Proper grading ensures water drains away from the foundation and soil compacts evenly to support the structure without settling or shifting.

Do I need a permit for excavation work in Fort Collins?

Most foundation and grading work requires a permit from the City of Fort Collins. We handle permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors.

How do you handle drainage on slopes?

We install swales, terraces, and drainage systems to prevent erosion and direct water away from structures on sloped Fort Collins lots.

Can you work with my builder or architect?

Yes. We coordinate grading plans, soil testing, and inspections with your entire construction team.

We handle selective tree and brush removal, demolition debris, and complete site clearing for new construction in Fort Collins.
