Animas Excavating Launches Residential Construction Page for Durango Homeowners

DURANGO, Colo. - Rezul -- Animas Excavating has launched a new page on residential site work in Durango that explains the ground-up work that happens before a home goes up. The company has worked residential projects in the Durango area since 2018 and is a licensed and insured General Excavation Contractor that's also fully bonded. It's a licensed OWTS installer, OWTS being the technical name for a septic system, listed on the La Plata County Public Health roster.

Most residential builds involve clearing, grading, septic, utilities, and driveway work. When separate crews handle each phase, a grade that conflicts with the leach field can mean rework and a permit hold. Animas Excavating puts one team on the full scope under one contract, with one point of contact from the first cut to the day the builder starts.

Many residential customers buy land from out of town and aren't sure how the process works in Durango. "I can really help them because I'm the first person that they're going to call," said owner Mike Zarlingo. "After they purchase the property, they have to find an excavator to flatten the land, clear the land, and put all the infrastructure in."

Residential site-work services Animas Excavating provides in Durango and La Plata County include:

• Site preparation and land clearing
• Excavation and grading with 3D smart grade GPS technology
• Foundation and stem wall site prep
• Septic system installation
• Sewer line repair and new construction hookups

The page also breaks down what residential site work costs in the Durango area and what drives the number, from terrain and rock to utility and septic run lengths. It covers who the company works with, how a project moves from the first exploration call to final grade, and common questions about permitting, timelines, and steep or rocky lots. It lists the communities served across Southwest Colorado as well.
