DURANGO, Colo. - s4story -- Animas Excavating, a licensed and insured General Excavation Contractor based in Durango, has launched a new page dedicated to excavation services in Durango. The page covers every phase of site work, from site preparation and grading to underground utilities, septic systems, drainage, demolition, and plumbing excavation.

It's written for homeowners, builders, and general contractors who've dealt with unreturned calls, late site visits, and bids that say nothing about permits or rock. Owner Mike Zarlingo founded the company in 2018 to take that uncertainty off the table.

The page explains how the company works, built on being responsive, precise, and locally accountable. Clients hear back promptly, get a site assessment quickly, and receive a written bid that reflects the real scope. Mike takes the first call himself and stays involved from start to finish, and readers can learn more about the team behind Animas Excavating.
