DURANGO, Colo. - s4story -- 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."
