— The way we work
A Family Legacy

Three generations of dirt,
dust, and done-right work.

Gopher Excavation Inc.is a family-owned and operated excavation company out of Berthoud, Colorado. We've been breaking ground across the Front Range for over 29 years — fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with specialty certifications in septic and water distribution.

Government contracts. Commercial job sites. A new pond on the back forty. Whatever the sector, whatever the scope, we show up with the right equipment and the right crew — and we finish when we said we would.

In the Community

Rooted in Berthoud.

Family-owned means more than a business structure — it's how we show up for our neighbors. Whether we're working alongside local fire crews or giving back to those who serve, being part of this community is part of the job.

Free Veterans Day Breakfast

Each year at Grandpa's Cafe in Berthoud we host a free breakfast and lunch — tips covered — for all veterans, active military, and first responders.

Thank you for your service.
