Fire Mitigation

Wildfires burn 5-10 million acres in the United States every year. It's never too early to prep for wildfire season.

CF&E is here to help customers better understand the importance of fire mitigation. We offer services like masticating, saw cutting, and mulching to effectively reduce fuel loads.

By creating a defensible space against wildfires, we implement defensive measures to better protect your property.

Land Clearing

CF&E specializes in the expert removal of unwanted vegetation such as trees, brush, and existing structures from any area. We are highly skilled in land clearing, making us the go-to choice for all your vegetation removal needs.

Tree Thinning: Tree thinning not only creates fuel breaks for forest fires, but helps promote healthy growth of the native tree species adding value to your property.

Site Preparation

Effective site prep is fundamental to the success of any construction project, and reduces the potential for future issues. Our team is dedicated to thoroughly assessing the site and executing a comprehensive plan that addresses all necessary groundwork. This includes leveling, grading, compacting, and debris removal, ensuring your project is built on a stable foundation.

For sites with hard, rocky ground or difficult terrain, our mechanized equipment and state-of-the-art rock-breaking system is designed to handle the most demanding conditions. Whether your project requires trenching for utilities, excavation for foundations, or other critical groundwork, we have the expertise and equipment to prepare your site efficiently and effectively.

Erosion Control

We understand the importance of managing erosion from the start to finish of every project. Without proper erosion control, soil, sediment, and debris can wash away, leading to property damage, compromised foundations, and water quality issues. Our team utilizes a range of proven methods to control erosion, including: Silt Fencing, Geotextile Fabric, Rip-Rap, Seeding, Erosion Control Blankets, Check Dams, & Sediment Basins. By using these methods, we not only protect your site from erosion but also contribute to sustainable land solutions, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Foundations

Stability starts with the foundation. We will ensure your structure is on solid ground so your legacy lasts.

Hardscaping

While we won't pick out the shrubs and flowers, you can count on us for any hardscaping around your property!

Road/Driveway Building

CF&E specializes in construction and maintenance services for subdivision roads and driveways, ensuring convenient access to your property, building sites, or any other destination. We've even built an airstrip!

Our experienced team takes care of everything, from hauling road base to delivering rock and fines.

Septic Installations/Utillities

We are licensed by the state of Colorado to design and install On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems in Custer and Fremont County. Furthermore, we are licensed to perform soil analysis that will need to be done prior to obtaining a septic permit which will be used to determine the size of the system and whether or not an engineered system will be required. We can also trench any utility as well as set and bury tanks.

Proper septic installation means fewer surprises down the line!
