About Anthracite Excavation

Local excavation and dirt work experts serving the Gunnison and Crested Butte Valley.

Anthracite Excavation is a family-owned dirt work and excavation company with roots running generations deep in the Gunnison and Crested Butte Valley. We grew up on this ground, and that local knowledge shows in every job — from how the soil and frost behave to what it takes to build a site right at altitude.

We take on projects of every size, from a single driveway to a full commercial build. Our work includes foundation excavation, septic system installations, dirt road building, grading, and maintenance, irrigation, and sewer and water line repairs — handled start to finish by a crew that does this every day.

With a full fleet of equipment — skid steers, dump trucks, front-end loaders, and compact mini excavators and bobcats for tighter work — we’re set up to handle both the big moves and the fine detail on your property.

Whatever your dirt work or excavation needs, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime for a free estimate — no question is too small.

"We hired Anthracite Excavation to clear land for our new home, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Not only did they remove trees and debris quickly, but they also handled all the foundation excavation and trenching for our utilities. Their attention to detail and commitment to safety really stood out. We felt like we were in great hands the entire time. Thanks to the whole team!"

"I had a complex landscaping project that required precision excavation, and Anthracite Excavation delivered flawlessly. They excavated for a large retaining wall, graded the land perfectly, and even removed several large boulders without damaging the surrounding area. Their team was friendly, professional, and clearly very skilled. I would definitely use them again for future projects."
