Forest Lakes, CO 81301
Excavation & Site Work in Forest Lakes
We are in Forest Lakes constantly, about 30 minutes from our Bayfield shop, comfortably inside our normal working radius for excavation & site work.
Forest Lakes is heavily wooded and heavily seasonal: a lot of cabins, a lot of deferred maintenance, and defensible-space clearing that matters more to insurers every year.
Forest Lakes is one of our core markets, which means faster scheduling and a crew that already knows the local building department, the terrain, and the supply houses.
What excavation & site work looks like in Forest Lakes
Most of what goes wrong with a building in this county traces back to water and ground that was never handled properly. A driveway that channels runoff into the crawlspace. A pad that was not compacted. A trench backfilled with the wrong material.
We pull permits through La Plata County and, where the work falls inside city limits, through the local building department. You do not have to learn their process.
Aaron runs the machine himself, which is worth more than it sounds. The operator who is going to build on the pad grades it differently than the operator who leaves after the dirt is moved.
What's included
- Lot clearing, grubbing, and rough grade
- Building pads and foundation excavation
- Driveways, road base, and culvert installation
- Drainage correction, ditching, and erosion control
- Utility and water line trenching, with 811 locates
- Demolition, debris removal, and site cleanup

Excavation & Site Work in Forest Lakes: questions we get
Not seeing yours? Ask us directly. We answer.
Do you charge extra to come out to Forest Lakes?
No. Forest Lakes is inside our standard service area and there is no drive-time surcharge on your invoice.
How fast can you get to Forest Lakes?
Small repairs typically go on the schedule within a week or two. Larger projects book further out, and it swings with the season. Pick a week on our site-visit page and we'll confirm the day with you. We're glad to walk a project months before it starts.
Are you insured to work in La Plata County?
Yes, we are insured, and we will send a certificate directly to you, your HOA, or your property manager before we start.
Do you call in utility locates?
Always, before a bucket touches dirt. Colorado 811 is on us, not you.
How do you price dirt work?
Defined jobs get a fixed bid. Where the ground could surprise us (rock, water table, unknown fill), you get a clear unit rate with a not-to-exceed, so it is never an open checkbook.
