Category: Driveway Excavation

Dirt Dogs just knocked out (installed) another gorgeous driveway in Centennial, Colorado. In our neck of the woods…that is – beautiful Colorado horse country where there’s a good bit of elbow room between neighbors – we’ve got REAL  DRIVEWAYS. Not those little bitty baby things you see in suburbia. Nope. Out here we’re talking about nice wide and long driveways of 500 feet or more. In this case we the brand new granite driveway was about 700 ft. long – complete with a nice spot for parking  vehicles.  This driveway is built to handle the weather and make the drive to and fro comfortable and dreamy. We should mention that it’s going to end at a new barn that will be built this spring.  AND we’ll be helping them on that barn pad excavation too. The job only took about 20 loads of granite road base and took 2 full days of work. It looked so good we hated to see it in our rear view mirrors when we left.

Need a nice big driveway for your home or barn? We’ve got you covered. Just give us a ring!

When its time to upgrade your driveway you might want to consider having Dirt Dogs install a new recycled asphalt driveway just like we did out here in Elizabeth, Colorado.  Of course, before we lay down that beautiful asphalt surface we smooth it out so the end result is a smooth-riding surface that won’t rattle your teeth out – like your current driveway.

Sweet, sweet summertime! Summer is the time for driveways and driveway improvements and Dirt Dogs Excavation is busy as a beaver taking care of our clients this summer. Isn’t this driveway a beauty? Here’s yet another gorgeous driveway  and parking lot combo we did for the Oakland ranch in Parker, Colorado.

It’s finished off with a red road base which is durable and easy to maintain. Sorry about my tilted camera angle but we were trying to squeeze in so much beauty that our camera got almost too heavy to hold onto! If  you need some of this driveway beauty in our neck of the woods give us a shout! (And I mean shout loud! We can be hard of hearing with all that equipment going on all the time.) We can take care of  your driveway and get it into the best shape its ever been – adding beauty and value to your property at the same time!

This is truly and amazing driveway we installed for a client in Morrison, Colorado which is nearby the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater. Not everyone has a 3/4 of a mile driveway but that’s what we had to work with. And what a beautiful place to work! In fact, there’s even a waterfall on the property that is said to be the location which Coors used to create its waterfall artwork for their world famous beer. You can see a photo of that waterfall down at the bottom. But before I get distracted thinking about a cold beer on a hot summer day….back to the driveway…. We smoothed off and excavated this driveway and laid down a beautiful layer of granite road base. And afterwords all anyone had to say was…”AMAZING!” Yes, it was an amazing driveway indeed! If you need your driveway to look just as pretty give Dirt Dogs Excavation a call!

 

 

Driveway Grading & Excavation is one of the earth moving services that homeowners enjoy the most because it instantly improves the approach and look of your home while smoothing out your ride.  Prior to us fixing it up, this driveway had so many lumps, bumps and washboards it would rattle your teeth out trying to get your car up the driveway. After grading it and filling it with crush brick road base its so smooth you could almost play pool on it. (That is if you wanted to lay on your belly in the driveway with a pool cue.) Needless to say its another beautiful driveway that makes their neighbors jealous and the homeowner happy as can be.

Dirt Dogs Excavation just finished off another driveway installation in Parker, CO. After we leveled and smoothed it off we finished with a real nice looking crushed rhyolite road base.  Before we installed this beauty the driveway would just about knock the fillings out of your teeth when you drove up to the house. Now…it’s so smooth you can roll a marble for about 200 feet in a straight line. (Well, that might be a little exaggeration but you can see from the photo it is pretty darn smooth!)

What is rhyolite you ask? Most people ask us that too. Well, the short story is it comes from volcanoes that used to be active around Douglas County. The longer story is Rhyolite is extrusive equivalent of granite magma – which means its perfect for driveways and can be a great conversation starter at your next BBQ.

Bottom line, the home owner is proud of his new driveway.

Next time you need a upgrade your driveway in Parker, CO or anywhere nearby we’ve got the driveway expertise and crushed volcanic rock to get you all fixed up!

Dirt Dogs Excavating is proud to show off a driveway installation we just installed at a nice home in Elizabeth, Colorado. What’s interesting about this project is that this driveway was in TERRIBLE shape before we took care of it. The driveway was rutted out with big holes and bad drainage cutting across it. It was a good place to drive if you wanted to lose your muffler!  We cut in new flow lines and installed recycled asphalt and now (like all our jobs) it’s a thing of beauty – a work of art in the driveway world.

After we got done the owner is happy as a clam because now he has 300 feet of smooth riding to enjoy! If you need some driveway work we invite you to give a call and we’ll fix you up too!
