Here in Pueblo County, there are a few things that can go wrong fast if you’re not careful:

Unmarked or outdated utility lines

Hardpan and rock near the surface

Drainage issues on sloped lots

Erosion problems occur if the land isn’t graded correctly

Contractors rushing through jobs without planning

Our team takes the extra steps early on—like calling in locates, walking the land ourselves, and testing the soil—to avoid these headaches down the line.

You shouldn’t be left dealing with costly fixes because someone was in a hurry. We slow down when it matters, so you don’t have to worry later.

Residential vs. Commercial Excavation in Pueblo: What’s the Difference?

We handle both, but the needs are different.

Residential excavation usually means:

Digging for house pads or basements

Trenching for water, sewer, or electrical lines

Clearing and grading driveways

Creating slopes for proper drainage

Commercial excavation often involves:

Working with architects or GCs

Digging for larger foundations or slab-on-grade builds

Following the city engineering plans

Coordinating with multiple subs and inspection teams

Whichever you need, we keep communication tight and timelines realistic. And we don’t disappear mid-project—we’re there till the last scoop of dirt is where it should be.

Choosing the Right Contractor: What Makes Minch Enterprises LLC Different

We’re not trying to be the biggest outfit in town. That’s never been the goal.

What we are is focused. We don’t take on too many jobs at once. We don’t outsource work we should be doing ourselves. We don’t show up just to tear up the ground and hope it works out.

Instead:

You get real people who care about your project

We walk the site with you, not just send a crew

You get a clear timeline, price, and plan

We stay on until it’s done—and done right

We’ve worked on family farms, new builds, small commercial pads, and private drives. And we treat each one like it’s the most important thing on our calendar.
