Excavation & Site Prep in Lafayette, CO
Excavation, pads and utility trenching for homes, garages and outbuildings across Lafayette.
Excavation and pads in Lafayette
Lafayette mixes older in-town lots with larger properties toward its edges, and the work we do here follows that: digging for homes and additions, cutting pads for garages and outbuildings, and trenching utilities out to them.
On bigger lots, the pad and the trench are often one project. We set the building pad where it needs to be, then run the trench for power or water from the house or service point out to the new building.
What we do in Lafayette
Outbuildings done right
A garage, shop or barn needs the same care as a house: a level, compacted pad, drainage that keeps water away from the slab, and a properly backfilled trench so the utility line does not settle and sag.
