What does Peak DirtWorks do?
Peak DirtWorks is a local excavation and construction contractor based in Florissant, Colorado. We provide excavation and site preparation, concrete foundations and flatwork, and septic system installation and repairs for residential and light commercial projects throughout Teller and Park County.
Why choose a local contractor for mountain construction projects?
Mountain construction presents unique challenges such as rocky soils, steep terrain, limited access, weather constraints, supplier availability, and local permitting requirements. Working with a local contractor who understands Teller and Park County conditions helps ensure excavation, septic systems, and foundations are planned and built correctly from the start.
Do you provide excavation services in Teller County?
Yes. Peak DirtWorks provides excavation and site preparation services throughout Teller and Park County, including building pads, grading, driveway cut-ins, utility trenching, drainage solutions, retaining wall excavation, and land clearing for mountain properties. We are also licensed for right-of-way and utility-related work.
Do you install septic systems in Teller and Park County?
Yes. We install new septic systems, engineered septic systems, and replacement systems for properties throughout Teller and Park County. Many mountain properties require engineered systems due to rocky soils, shallow bedrock, or limited soil depth, and we regularly coordinate with local engineers and health departments.
What is an engineered septic system and why are they common in this area?
An engineered septic system is designed by a licensed engineer based on site conditions, soil type, and local regulations. In Teller and Park County, rocky soils and decomposed granite often require upgrades treatment including sand filters that slow effluent and allow proper treatment before it returns to the groundwater system, and pumps to evenly disperse effluent across the sand filter.
Do you provide septic pumping services?
No. Peak DirtWorks does not provide septic pumping services. We specialize in septic system installation, repairs, replacements, and engineered systems. Septic pumping is typically handled by licensed pumping providers, and we can coordinate with them when needed as part of a larger project.
What types of excavation projects do you handle?
Peak DirtWorks provides residential and light commercial excavation services including site preparation, grading, driveway cut-ins, gravel driveways, trenching for utilities, drainage improvements, retaining wall excavation, and land clearing. Projects are evaluated based on site conditions, access, and terrain common to mountain properties.
Can you build trails, driveways, or access roads on steep or sloped property?
Yes. Many mountain properties require work on steep or uneven terrain. Using appropriate equipment and planning, we construct access roads, driveway cut-ins, trails, and grading solutions designed to manage slope, drainage, and long-term stability.
Are you a general contractor?
Peak DirtWorks is a specialty contractor focused on excavation, septic systems, and concrete foundations. While we are not a full-service general contractor, we regularly work alongside builders, engineers, and other trades and hold multiple licenses that allow us to perform most site work and foundation-related phases from initial excavation through readiness for framing.
