Services

Site Preparation

Our site preparation services utilize TopCon 3D GPS technology to ensure precise grading and foundation preparation. We handle complete site clearing, utility connections, and surface leveling for residential and commercial developments. This process creates optimal conditions for construction while minimizing environmental impact through controlled excavation techniques.

Demolition Services

We perform controlled demolition of houses, commercial buildings, and outbuildings using specialized equipment. Our process includes debris management, hazardous material handling, and site cleanup. By employing precision techniques, we minimize collateral damage to surrounding structures and landscapes while ensuring safe and efficient removal operations.

Rock Breaking

Our rock breaking services use GPS-guided hydraulic breakers to target specific areas without over-excavation. This method reduces unnecessary material removal and eliminates the need for multiple survey checks. The precision technology ensures accurate grading while maintaining natural terrain features adjacent to the work zone.

We hired Larry after a recommendation by a long time local. The work was never actually completed, he didnt build our project square, he promised to bring his laser level to our project, which he never did, the base layers were not packed appropriately so we have pools all over what is suppose to be a well drained area, he charged us 11 x more than the almost exact project we had done (by someone else) 4 mos prior to his project. He is a ripoff artist that is akin to an 80s used car salesman. Pretends to be a devout man of God, oh please. Shop around and dont use this company. Deplorable

After many quotes and research for a challenging sewer hook up through rock and distance,I knew I was hiring Boulder Excavating. Larry came and did quote when he said, and then choreographed and organized everything! His operators Quinn and Alex are 2 of the hardest working young men ever. So professional and polite. Always kept me informed. The job was done in 2 days and what could have been a nightmare was actually a dream, because of there diligence and attention to detail. Absolutely best value and service I've ever had. Highly recommend this outstanding company.

Larry and his crew at Boulder Excavating were professional, prompt, efficient and an absolute delight to work with. Had small yard with challenging access that required careful maneuvering and great skill to build a large rock retaining wall, steps and ramp down to the water. The crew worked hard and effectively to deliver a new waterfront terrace and patio space that turned out beyond our expectations. Larry came by every day to inspect the work and ensure we were satisfied with the days results and his cost was extremely fair and detailed. I would highly recommend Boulder Excavating - they have

In November 2019, Larry and his team from Boulder Excavating was hired to redo our driveway ( drainage problems ) as well as some hardscape landscaping. The end result was a driveway skillfully tilted away from the house, a new drainage system, and two fabulously designed rock walls/gardens ready for planting. Throughout the whole process we found everyone very efficient, approachable, courteous, and professional. The outcome EXCEEDED our expectations !! We would have no hesitation in hiring Boulder Excavating again and recommending them as a company that can be relied on for excellent work at
