Alpine did a great job completing septic repairs for us. They were able to fit our project into their schedule on short notice. Larry walked me through the process and sent pictures to keep me updated on progress. Very easy to work with, highly recommend.
Alpine did a great job completing septic repairs at my home. Larry and Brandon were able to finish the work on a very aggressive schedule, with initial excavation beginning on a Sunday. They are very knowledgeable on septic topics. The team took care in the put back, making the walkway and drive look just like they found it.
Alpine helped us dig out our burried culvert under our driveway. They were able to complete the project by adding an extension to our culvert and rebuilding the surrounding area. The finished product is safe and secure and looks like it will drain well next spring. The finishing touches look professional. Larry…

Larry and son were very professional throughout the process and did a great job dealing with the situation. I would hire again!

Alpine did the “impossible” for us. While digging trenches to install a comprehensive patio and downspout drainage system, we ran into some pretty solid rock that needed to be broken through and removed over about a 50’ distance to a max depth of about 6’. The work needed to be accomplished along a very tight path (as narrow as ~9’) between a dry-stack wall and our house. Several other excavators reviewed what needed to be done and came to the conclusion it just could not be done, it was not possible since not enough clearance. Larry and Brandon came and reviewed our challenge and said they could absolutely do it. And they accomplished the "impossible" feat in 6 business days while protecting both the house and the dry-stack wall. They brought the right tools for the job (see “The Claw” in the picture!). After completing that task, they were willing to team with our patio contractor to share knowledge and help install a key part of the drainage system which included an 80' run of 10" diameter SDR35 sewer pipe and ensured we had the required 2% grade to daylight. We recommend Alpine for their Perseverance, Skill, Can-Do Attitude and Knowledge.
AL got my small but labor intensive back yard fill and grade correction job by default: contacted 4 other companies for estimates and AL was the only company to respond. No regrets at all. Courteous and professional, with all work done by Larry and his son on time and at estimate. Would I hire again? You bet, because they listen to needs and exceed them. And although their company is more suited to heavy duty excavation, if you have a smaller job, do not hesitate to contact Larry.
We had water bubbling up out of the ground from a frozen pipe, and a 2 foot snowstorm was predicted to arrive in two days. We called every excavating company on the list Evergreen Metro District provided. Alpine got there within a couple of hours, had their equipment on-site the next morning, and got our buried pipe dug out, replaced, and filled in before the snowstorm arrived. They were very skilled and careful despite the time pressure. Overall excellent service.
When we were selling our home, we had to get work done quick to meet closing deadlines. Larry listened to our need and treated us like family. He was incredibly responsive, came to our aid quickly, and offered an afforable price for the fix. We would recommend Larry and team at Alpine again and again to those who are looking for high quality work by a team of responsive and dedicated professionals. Thank you!
