Excavation and grading in Golden
Ramstetter Excavating digs and grades building sites around Golden and the foothills west of Denver. That means cutting pads for new houses and garages, digging foundations, shaping driveways, and leaving the lot graded so water runs away from the house. The company has done this work since 1958.


The jobs this covers
Most excavation on a house lot falls into one of these four.
Building pads
Cutting and leveling the spot a house or garage sits on, on flat ground or on a slope.
Foundation digs
Digging out for footings and foundation walls to the depth on the plans.
Driveways
Cutting the drive into the lot and shaping it so it drains.
Final grading
Setting the ground around the finished house so water moves away from the walls.
