Excavation & Site Work services in Fort Collins
Fort Collins sits where the plains meet the foothills, along the Cache la Poudre River, and the west side of the city has some of the most troublesome soil in the region: claystone and clay that swell sharply when they get wet and shrink when they dry. Foundations, slabs and basement walls there need careful drainage and often special designs. Closer to the river the ground turns to sand, gravel and cobbles with a shallower water table. The 1997 Spring Creek flood showed how fast water can move through the city in a hard rain. Old Town and the neighborhoods around Colorado State University have older homes with basements and aging sewer lines. In Fort Collins we do drainage and regrading for homes on expansive soil, utility trenching, foundation and addition digs, and site prep that meets the city's development rules.

Permits and local rules
Fort Collins Building Services issues building and demolition permits, and site grading on larger projects goes through the city's development review. Colorado 811 asks for at least three business days of notice before digging, and private lines on your property are not marked by 811.
