DENVER - s4story -- Animas Excavating has launched a new site preparation page, built for property owners who need raw land cleared, graded, and fully prepped before a builder can start.

Based in Durango, the licensed and insured excavation contractor handles the full scope of raw land infrastructure, from land clearing and building pad grading to underground utilities, septic systems, access roads, and retaining walls.

"I'm the first person that they're going to call. They have to find an excavator to flatten the land, clear the land, and put all the infrastructure in. Once they contact me, I can connect them with a builder, plumbers, electricians, pretty much anyone," said Mike Zarlingo, owner of Animas Excavating.

The new page walks visitors through what to expect:

• Reach out by phone, text, or email and hear back promptly.
• A short exploration call to understand the project and make sure it's a good fit.
• A site visit scheduled soon after.
• Plans reviewed and regulating offices contacted as part of the bid.
• A fixed-cost bid for straightforward scopes, or time and materials when conditions are uncertain.
• Weekly progress invoicing once work begins, so there are no surprise bills at the end

The page joins the company's broader set of excavation services, including sewer line repair. It also answers the questions landowners ask most, like what permits are needed, what happens when there's hard rock, and whether out-of-state owners can have a project managed remotely.

The service area covers Durango, Bayfield, Hesperus, Mancos, Cortez, Pagosa Springs, and the surrounding Four Corners region, where the company's roots go back to 1939.

The page also details the 3D smart grade GPS satellite technology Animas uses on larger residential and most commercial projects, which can save roughly $90,000 in surveying costs on commercial jobs. And it documents the company's track record: a 5.0 Google rating, an A+ BBB rating with zero complaints, licensed OWTS installer status on the La Plata County Public Health roster, and FMCSA carrier registration.

Property owners can get started by requesting a free estimate on the new page or by contacting Animas Excavating directly.
