Excavation & Grading in Teller County, CO
Professional Land & Construction Solutions in Teller County
Teller County is home for Dotts Construction. We are based in Divide at over 9,000 feet, and we work Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Florissant, Victor, and the mountain subdivisions in between. This is high country built on Pikes Peak granite, with steep forested lots, decomposed granite and rock in the ground, deep frost, heavy snow, and a short building season. Almost every property out here runs on its own well and septic. That mix of rock, slope, and altitude is exactly the ground we know best, and we handle excavation, septic, land clearing, road and driveway work, tree removal, and site prep across the county.

Expert Excavation Services in Teller County
Expert Excavation Services in Teller County
Excavation in Teller County means digging through Pikes Peak granite. Decomposed granite, cobble, and solid rock sit close to the surface across Woodland Park, Divide, and Florissant, so excavation here takes the right equipment and someone who has done it in this ground before. Dotts Construction digs foundations, utility trenches, driveways, and building pads on steep, rocky, high-altitude lots.
We work with the slope instead of fighting it, set grades that shed snowmelt and summer downpours away from structures, and rip or break rock when the ground calls for it. From a cabin site off a forest road to a full building pad, we leave stable, well-drained ground at 9,000 feet and up.

Get Septic Tank Installation in Teller County
Get Septic Tank Installation in Teller County
There is no municipal sewer across most of Teller County, so a working septic system is not optional out here. Dotts Construction installs complete systems for homes and cabins in Divide, Woodland Park, Florissant, and the surrounding mountain properties, handling the perc test, county permitting, and final inspection.
High-altitude septic has its own challenges. Rocky ground, tight lots, and a deep frost line all shape where and how the system goes in. We size the tank and field to the home, set everything below frost, and place it to work with the rock and slope on your lot. Whether it is a new build or a failed system on an older property, we install it to hold up through hard mountain winters.

Tree Trimming & Removal Services in Teller County
Teller County forests carry heavy wildfire and beetle-kill pressure, and defensible space is a real concern for every mountain property. Dotts Construction handles tree removal across Woodland Park, Divide, and Florissant, from hazard and beetle-killed trees to full defensible-space thinning around homes and outbuildings.
We drop dead and dangerous trees, pull fuel back from your structures, and clear storm damage off driveways and fences. On forested lots we thin with a plan so you protect the home without stripping the land. Then we haul off or process the slash so you are not left with piles.
Landscaping & Dirt Work Solutions in Teller County
Building at altitude on rocky, sloped ground makes dirt work a foundation of nearly every Teller County project. Dotts Construction grades, levels, builds pads, cuts drainage, and shapes lots across Divide, Woodland Park, and the surrounding mountains.
Snowmelt and short, intense summer storms move a lot of water fast up here, so we grade and compact the ground to send it away from structures and hold through freeze and thaw. Whether you are prepping for a shop, smoothing a rough lot, or fixing drainage that washes out every spring, we get the ground right for the high country.
Why Choose Dotts Construction in Teller County
Dotts Construction is a Teller County company. We live and work at altitude, and we know how this county permits septic, how Pikes Peak granite digs, and how a short mountain season shapes a build schedule. That local knowledge saves you time, money, and callbacks. We show up with equipment sized for rock and slope, tell you straight what the ground will and will not allow, and stand behind the work. From a single driveway in Divide to a full building site outside Woodland Park, this is our backyard and we treat it that way.
Residential & Commercial Construction Services in Teller County
Dotts Construction supports Teller County homeowners and builders through the groundwork phase of a mountain project. We handle the excavation, road and driveway building, grading, and site work that a new cabin, home, shop, or addition depends on, coordinating with your builder so the site is ready when the season allows.
Access is half the battle up here. We cut and build the driveways and roads that get equipment and eventually your vehicles to the homesite, engineered for steep grades and heavy snow. When the groundwork is done right, the rest of the build in this county goes a lot smoother.
Complete Site Preparation for Land Development in Teller County
A build in Teller County lives or dies on its site preparation. Dotts Construction clears, grades, and shapes high-altitude lots, cuts in access roads and driveways, and sets drainage so the site is ready for a foundation and utilities.
On steep, rocky, forested ground, getting the pad, access, and drainage right up front is what makes a mountain build possible. We prep sites around Divide, Woodland Park, and Florissant and hand off stable, well-drained, build-ready ground that accounts for the rock, the slope, and the snow.
Efficient Land Clearing & Grading Services in Teller County
Dotts Construction handles land clearing in Teller County for building sites, driveways, pasture, and defensible space. We remove trees, brush, stumps, and rock from steep forested lots and grade the ground behind us.
Up here, clearing is fire mitigation as much as it is construction. Thinning an overgrown lot and pulling fuel back from your buildings protects the property and opens the ground up for a build. We clear across Divide, Woodland Park, and Florissant and leave the land clean, stable, and ready to use.
