Excavation, grading, utilities, and paving under one contract, delivered on time and on budget.
Heyl Construction handles commercial and public site work as one contractor, one crew, one point of contact. We work with developers, general contractors, and municipal public works departments across the Western Slope, from initial excavation through final paving. When you’re running a development timeline or managing a public bid, you don’t need five subcontractors and a project manager trying to keep everyone on the same page. You need a team that owns the whole scope and delivers what they bid.
One Contract, One Crew. Full-scope civil work from excavation to paving, delivered by one accountable team.
Full-Scope Civil Work Excavation, grading, utilities, and paving under a single scope, no coordination gaps between subs.
CDOT-Approved Qualified for public road and municipal infrastructure work, in addition to private commercial development.
GPS-Guided Precision Trimble machine-control grading gets your pad, road base, or lot to spec on the first pass.
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.
From site clearing to final paving, here’s what’s in scope.
We clear raw land or tear out an existing structure and site conditions so your project can move to the next phase without delay.
Bulk excavation, cut-and-fill, and earthmoving for commercial pads, retention areas, and infrastructure work.
GPS-guided Trimble grading gives you accurate cuts, fills, and a drainage-ready subgrade, the first time.
Water, sewer, and storm utility installation coordinated directly with your engineer’s plans.
Erosion control and stormwater infrastructure built to meet CDOT and municipal permitting requirements.
Asphalt paving and road construction for parking lots, access roads, and public infrastructure.
Every commercial and public project has its own scope, timeline, and permitting requirements. Tell us about yours and we’ll put together a proposal built around it.
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.
A detailed bid, a realistic schedule, and a finished site handed off on time.
We walk the site, or review your plans, to understand scope, access, and any known constraints before we price anything.
You get an itemized bid covering excavation, grading, utilities, and paving, plus a realistic schedule built around the season.
Once you sign off, your project gets locked into our schedule and we mobilize our own fleet, no waiting on a sub’s availability.
Our crews handle the work phase by phase, and you get real updates if site conditions or scope change along the way.
We walk the finished site with you, confirm grades, utilities, and paving meet spec, and close out any punch list items.
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.
CFO, Geronimo Ventures LLC
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.

Heyl Construction is based in Silt and works the Western Slope directly, from Glenwood Springs to Aspen and Vail to Parachute. That local base means shorter mobilization times and a crew that already knows the terrain, permitting requirements, and seasonal timing for this region, rather than a company traveling in from outside the area.
Site prep typically covers clearing, demolition of any existing structures, initial grading, and getting the site ready for excavation and utility work. We handle that prep in-house as part of the full project scope, so there’s no separate mobilization for a site prep sub before the main work begins.
Yes. Heyl Construction is a CDOT-approved contractor, qualified for public road and municipal infrastructure work in addition to private commercial development.
Every project gets an itemized bid based on a site visit or plan review, covering excavation, grading, utilities, and paving. We build accurate estimates upfront so you’re not dealing with change-order surprises later. Contact us for a current quote on your project.
Timelines depend on project size, scope, and the western Colorado seasonal freeze window, which affects grading and paving schedules. We’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of your proposal, not just a best-case estimate.
We handle the full scope, site clearing, excavation, grading, utilities, and paving, under a single contract with one crew and one point of contact. That means no coordinating between multiple subs or managing handoffs yourself.
Whether it’s a new development, a public works bid, or a site redevelopment, we’ll give you a straightforward proposal and a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
