Full-scope excavation, site work, road building, and utilities, delivered on time and on budget across western Colorado.
Heyl Construction has been doing civil work on Colorado’s western slope for over 27 years. We work with commercial developers, general contractors, and municipalities on everything from raw land clearing to build-ready site prep. We handle the whole scope ourselves: excavation, grading, utilities, road construction, paving, and demolition under one contract. No handoffs. No subcontracted crews you’ve never met. One team that shows up and finishes the job.
Our bids are detailed and accurate. Our schedules are realistic. And when you hand us a project, you know what it’s going to cost and when it’s going to be done. That’s not a tagline; it’s our track record across 27 years of work in Garfield, Eagle, and Pitkin counties.
One contractor. One contract. Raw land to build-ready, start to finish. No subcontracted crews you’ve never met.

Years on the
Western Slope
Heyl Construction has been based in Silt, Colorado since the beginning. For more than two decades we’ve done civil work up and down the western slope, from Glenwood Springs to Aspen and Vail to Parachute, this isn’t a market we moved into, it’s home, and we know it well.
We deliver a quality civil construction product at a price that makes sense, and we do what we say we’re going to do: accurate bids, realistic timelines, and a GPS-guided Trimble fleet that keeps grading and excavation precise. From a 42-acre mixed-use development with a water ski lake and CDOT improvements to a half-mile private road paved under budget and ahead of schedule, we deliver at every scale across this region.
We handle the full civil scope, from the first cut to the finished surface. Seven service categories we bring to every project.
Commercial excavation, precision grading, and full earthwork for developments of any size. GPS-guided Trimble equipment delivers accurate cuts, fills, and finished grades, reducing rework and keeping your project on schedule.
Licensed underground utility installation for commercial and civil projects: natural gas, electric, telephone, and cable mains and services, coordinated with local providers. Water and sewer mains, services, and lift station work included.
Full road construction from raw cut to finished surface: sub-grade and road-base prep, asphalt placement, curb and gutter, pans, and fillets. Private roads, subdivision streets, and public infrastructure built to last through Colorado winters.
Complete site development for commercial projects, from raw land to a build-ready pad. Excavation, utilities, grading, and paving under one contract, so you’re not coordinating between five different contractors on a lot, subdivision, or mixed-use project.
Residential and light commercial demolition, including related infrastructure and asphalt-concrete removal. We clear the site cleanly, with equipment, haul-off, and disposal included, so new construction starts on solid, unencumbered ground.
We manage all phases of civil construction using computer-based estimation and project management software. From the initial bid through final walkthrough: accurate schedules, transparent cost tracking, and a single point of contact.
We run our own fleet: 10-yard tandem dumps, 20-yard side dumps, 20-yard end dumps, and lowboy services. Keeping hauling in-house means tighter scheduling and no third-party delays on material delivery and equipment transport.
Deep local knowledge of Colorado’s terrain, soil conditions, seasonal freeze windows, and utility requirements. We’ve worked this corridor for decades and know what it takes to deliver here.
Trimble machine-control equipment means accurate cuts and fills on every project. Less rework. Tighter tolerances. Better finished grades.
Excavation, grading, underground utilities, road construction, paving, and demo, all handled under one contract by one crew. No coordination headaches between subs. No finger-pointing when something slips.
Qualified for public road and municipal infrastructure projects. If your project touches a public right-of-way or requires state certification, we have the credentials to handle it.
We don’t low-ball to win work and make it up in change orders. Our estimates are detailed and our timelines are realistic. If something changes on site, you hear about it early, not at invoice time.
Tandem dumps, side dumps, end dumps, lowboy, and GPS-guided grading equipment, all in-house. We control the schedule, not a third-party operator.
We keep it straightforward. No vague timelines, no scope-creep surprises. Here’s how a project moves with Heyl from first contact to completion.
Reach out by phone or through our online form. Share the project location, scope, and timeline. The more detail upfront, the more accurate our initial estimate.
We visit the site, evaluate existing conditions, and build a detailed, itemized bid. No ballpark numbers. You know exactly what it’s going to cost before you commit.
Once accepted, we lock in a realistic start date and mobilize crew and equipment, accounting for freeze dates, asphalt season, and your downstream schedule.
Our GPS-guided crew gets to work with a single project manager as your contact. We track budget and schedule in real time and flag changes early.
When the work is done, we walk the site with you and review the finished scope against the contract. The job isn’t closed until you’re satisfied.
The Tree Farm PUD is a 42-acre mixed-use development in the Roaring Fork Valley with a water ski lake and extensive CDOT improvements. When we needed an experienced civil contractor to handle all the infrastructure, including a lift station adjacent to the lake, Heyl won our trust and our business. They’ve been a pleasure to work with, and I’d recommend them for any civil construction needs.

They paved our half-mile stretch of private road, had to deal with ten contrary homeowners, and they did a great job. I was one of the few who didn’t want the road paved, but they were very professional, worked with us as much as possible on the disruption, came in under budget, and finished quicker than planned. Absolutely five stars.

Questions we hear often from developers, GCs, and municipalities before they get started with us.
We handle the full civil scope: commercial excavation, precision grading, earthwork, underground utility installation, water and sewer lines, road construction, asphalt paving, site development, demolition, and hauling. We work with commercial developers, general contractors, and municipalities on projects of all sizes across western Colorado.
Yes. Heyl Construction is fully licensed and bonded in the state of Colorado. We’re also an approved CDOT contractor, which qualifies us for public road and municipal infrastructure projects that require state certification.
We put together detailed, itemized bids, not ballpark figures. We visit the site, evaluate existing conditions, and give you a number you can actually work with. Civil construction costs vary by scope, site conditions, and season, so reach out for a current project-specific proposal. We don’t low-ball bids and we don’t pad change orders.
The earlier the better, especially for work that needs to fall within a specific seasonal window. Western Colorado’s freeze dates and spring asphalt season create real scheduling constraints for grading and paving work. If you have a project on the horizon, reach out now so we can plan the timeline around site conditions and your downstream construction schedule.
