The Cheyenne Excavating Company digs, grades, trenches and hauls for homes, ranches and businesses in Cheyenne and across southeast Wyoming, plus Wellington and Fort Collins in northern Colorado. Septic work, water lines, basements, pads and gravel roads make up much of what we do.
Building here means dealing with deep frost, steady wind and soil that can be loose gravel, hard caliche or swelling clay on the same property. Water lines go deep, bare dirt gets covered fast, and drainage is planned around snowmelt as much as rain.

Cheyenne Excavating Company did a great job fixing some grading issues on our property. They showed up when they said they were going to, contacted us every step of the way, and finished the job quickly. The price was right, too. I highly recommend this company.

Frequently asked questions
What does excavation cost in Cheyenne?
Nationally, excavation runs $2.50 to $15.00 a cubic yard in HomeGuide's 2026 figures, and most projects cost $1,100 to $5,600. Those are national ranges, not ours. Frost, caliche and hauling distance change Cheyenne jobs most, so we quote your site in writing after we see it.
How much notice does One Call of Wyoming need?
Contact One Call of Wyoming at least two full business days before digging. In Wellington and Fort Collins, Colorado 811 asks for three business days. We file the request before every job.
Do you install septic systems?
We do the excavation for septic tanks and drain fields under the approved design and permit. In Laramie County, septic systems follow the county small wastewater rules through the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department.
How deep do water lines go here?
Below the frost line, which is deep in Cheyenne. Your plumbing code and water provider set the exact depth, and the plumber confirms it before we dig.
Do you build ranch roads and barn pads?
Yes. We build gravel drives, ranch roads, culvert crossings and pads for shops, barns and arenas across Laramie County and nearby counties.
Can you dig in winter?
Often, yes, when the frost can be broken and nothing is backfilled frozen. Some grading and seeding has to wait for spring.
How much does excavation cost in Cheyenne?
It depends on the size of the dig, soil and rock conditions, access for equipment and how much material has to be hauled away. We visit the site and give you a written quote.
Do you locate utilities before digging?
Yes. We have underground utilities marked before any excavation starts.
Do I need a permit for excavation or grading in Cheyenne?
Grading, trenching in the right-of-way and demolition often need permits. We check what applies to your site.
Do you haul away the dirt?
Yes. Haul-off of soil, rock and debris is included in the quote when it is needed.
Do you work for homeowners or only builders?
Both. We do small residential jobs as well as site work for builders and businesses.
