Pitkin Excavation & Dirt Work Services

At 9,242 feet, Pitkin is the highest community we serve and one of the oldest — Colorado's first mining camp west of the Continental Divide, tucked along Quartz Creek near the head of the valley. That elevation brings the shortest building window in the region, deep frost, and access that winds up County Road 76 well past the pavement. Excavation in Pitkin rewards crews who know how to make the most of a tight season and a remote, historic townsite.

Anthracite Excavation handles the full range of dirt work in Pitkin — foundation excavation, grading, utility and waterline trenching, septic installs, and dirt road maintenance — sized for everything from a single cabin site to a larger build. We plan around the season, the terrain, and Gunnison County code so your project is finished right before the snow returns.
