Excavation & Grading in Colorado Springs, CO

Dotts Construction provides excavation in Colorado Springs for new home sites, additions, driveways, and commercial pads. The soils here are unforgiving. Expansive clay swells and shrinks, and pockets of decomposed granite and buried rock show up across El Paso County, so we dig, cut, and backfill to hold up under that movement instead of fighting it later.

From full basements in the city to building pads on rural acreage in Black Forest and Falcon, we set grades and elevations that keep water moving away from the structure. Our operators run modern equipment, protect the parts of the lot you want left alone, and leave clean, stable ground ready for the next trade.

The ponderosa forests around Black Forest, Monument, and the north end of Colorado Springs are beautiful, and they carry real wildfire risk. Dotts Construction handles tree removal for hazard trees, storm damage, and defensible space around homes and outbuildings.

We take down dead, beetle-killed, and overcrowded trees, clear the fuel back from your structures, and haul off or process the debris. On wooded lots we thin with a plan so you keep the shade and privacy that matter while giving your home room to breathe. When a tree comes down on a fence or across a driveway, we respond fast and clean it up.

Beyond the dirt, Dotts Construction supports Colorado Springs builders and homeowners through the whole early phase of a project. We handle the excavation, grading, and site work that a new home, addition, shop, or commercial build depends on, coordinating with your contractor so the ground is ready when the crews arrive.

Working across the city and the surrounding El Paso County communities, we keep projects moving with dependable scheduling and equipment sized to the job. When the groundwork is done right, everything built on top of it goes smoother.

From wooded lots in Black Forest to brush-choked acreage on the plains, Dotts Construction handles land clearing in Colorado Springs that turns raw or overgrown ground into usable property. We remove trees, brush, stumps, and rock, then grade the ground behind us.

Clearing here is also fire mitigation. Opening up an overgrown lot and pulling fuel back from structures protects your home and makes the land easier to build on and maintain. We clear for building sites, pastures, driveways, and defensible space, and we leave the property clean and ready for what comes next.
