Service Area
Excavation, septic and utility work for Gunnison homes and cabins, from new systems to driveways and building sites.


Local Groundwork
Gunnison sits at about 7,700 feet in a wide valley along the Gunnison River, home to Western Colorado University and close to Blue Mesa Reservoir. It is also known as one of the coldest places in the country in winter, and that reality shapes how every project in the area gets planned and built. Utility lines need to be placed at the proper depth, septic systems have to keep working through long freezes, and driveways and building sites need grading that handles snowmelt every spring. Many homes and cabins outside town depend on their own septic systems and long gravel drives. J&K Excavating is a veteran-owned company founded by Jerry Golden, who spent years doing hands-on construction work before starting his own business. We bring that same reliability to Gunnison, with groundwork that is done right.

Our Services
Whatever you are building in the Gunnison Valley, our services cover the groundwork it needs. Septic Construction & Repair and Septic Install & Repair give homes and cabins reliable systems, whether that means a new install or a repair to an existing one. Excavation Services dig foundations and trenches to plan, and Site Preparation clears and levels land for new homes, garages and shops. Grading Services shape driveways and building sites so snowmelt and rain drain away from structures. Utility Work trenches and installs water lines, sewer and electrical conduit, and Concrete Prep creates solid bases for slabs and foundations. Gravel Placement builds driveways and parking areas. If it involves dirt work, we can do it, and we will quote it to fit your Gunnison project.
