HESPERUS, Colo. - TelAve -- Animas Excavating, a licensed and insured excavation contractor based in Durango, has launched a new page for Hesperus property owners and builders. It follows one crew through site preparation, utilities, septic, and access roads, the ground work that has to happen before anything gets built. The full page is at the Hesperus excavation page.

Many Hesperus-area properties rely on septic instead of city sewer. Owner Mike Zarlingo is a licensed OWTS installer listed on the La Plata County Public Health roster, and because Hesperus is unincorporated, septic permitting runs through the county. Animas installs standard and engineered systems, including mounded systems and advanced treatment units for difficult terrain. More detail is on the septic system and OWTS installation page.

Landowners who have just closed on a parcel need an excavator first. Zarlingo describes where the excavator fits: "I am the first person that they are going to call," Zarlingo said. "After they purchase the property, they have to find an excavator to flatten the land, clear the land, and put all the infrastructure in."

What the page covers:

• Land clearing, rough and finish grading, and building pad preparation
• Driveways, access roads, and culverts
• Underground utilities from the road to the house
• Septic installation with on-site soil analysis
• Retaining walls in pre-cast engineered block and natural stone
• Sewer line repair, demolition, and stormwater work

Hard rock is common in this part of Southwest Colorado, so Animas looks for it during the estimate instead of mid-dig. On larger residential jobs and most commercial projects, it grades with 3D smart grade GPS technology in place of stakes and string line. Developers and general contractors can see capability for projects with dirt work up to about $1.5 million on the commercial construction page and completed work on the projects page.

Homeowners can start with the residential construction page, request a free estimate on the Hesperus page, or call (970) 403-2787.
