Barn Pad capped with Road Base in Elizabeth, CO

Before a new barn needs to be built anywhere in or near Elizabeth, Colorado – your would be a wise to contact (and hire) Dirt Dogs is your “Go-To” for your barn pad. Because under your barn – when we do the barn pad work – is a perfectly level surface that will bring cheers of joy to the folks who pour your concrete on top.

Laser Leveling
Did we mention that we laser level our barn pads…so they are perfectly smooth? We do!

This project took about 4 days of work. It was about 40′ x 50′ and if you notice the photo above – we graded around to create a flow-line that moves water away from the barn. We brought in 3 trucks and  laid down a 6″ surface of road base at the engineer’s request.

Bottom line..
If you’re building a barn in Elizabeth, CO (or anyplace in the Colorado Front Range )and want the barn pad for your building to be done by the best around – give Dirt Dogs Excavating, Grading and Earth Moving a call today!

Building Pad Excavation in Elizabeth, CO

Dirt Dogs Excavating is proud to have excavated a new building pad for an indoor horse arena for yet another equestrian rider (ie. horse fanatic)  Elizabeth, CO. This building pad will be the foundation of a beautiful indoor horse arena for some exceptionally well taken care of pair of horses. This building pad is 57′ by 97′ and on top of a hill so the views are amazing.  We’ll be back to do the finish grade after the building is erected in a few months down the road. (We previously excavated another horse arena for this same equestrian fanatic not too long ago.) So these horses will end up having both an indoor and outdoor arena and their own barn to boot!
Of course…if you’ve got a horse…give us a ring and we can get you started on your new horse arena or barn too!

Cut to Fill Excavation

This is another “cut to fill” pad for a horse barn out in Elizabeth, CO. The building will be a 52’x72′ structure that will keep the horses and hay warm and dry in the winter. If it rains up above the building we have the ground landscaped so water will flow nicely around the building. You can see how we have created a nice flat spot which will make both the people and animals joyful! Right now there’s no driveway but typically we put one in. If you need a nice little horse barn or shop on your little slice of heaven give us a ring!

Clay base for Horse Arenas

Installing clay base for horse arenas is one of our specialties here at Dirt Dogs Excavation.  This is a 4 inch hard clay base which has been laser leveled and rolled for compaction. This creates a hard surface but still has enough ” bite” to keep the surface from being slick. It keeps the dirt sub-base permanently separated from the sand which  is now ready for the sand footing to be installed.  When you want the best surface for your horses to train and prance around on – you can’t get much better than this. Of course we would invite your calls if you’re in need of excavating or sprucing up your Colorado horse arena!
