Over a decade of digging, fixing, and doing it right — for homeowners and businesses across Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
Matt Peterson started Absolute Excavating LLC with one conviction: that homeowners in Colorado Springs deserve an excavation contractor who shows up on time, tells the truth, and stands behind their work.
After more than a decade in the field — running crews, learning every soil condition in El Paso County, and handling everything from simple sewer camera inspections to full septic system installs — Matt built Absolute Excavating into the most trusted name in Colorado Springs underground utility work.
What makes him different? He's on every job. You won't call and get handed off to someone you've never met. Matt answers his phone, drives out to see the problem himself, and gives you a straight quote before a single shovel hits the ground.
"I started this company because I was tired of seeing contractors rip off homeowners with inflated quotes and sloppy work. When you hire Absolute Excavating, you're hiring me — and I take that personally."
— Matt Peterson, Owner
These aren't marketing slogans — they're the standards Matt holds himself and every crew member to on every job.
We diagnose before we dig. A sewer camera inspection takes an hour and can save you thousands. We never skip the step that tells us exactly what we're dealing with.
If you only need a spot repair, we'll tell you — even if a full replacement would be more profitable for us. Our reputation is worth more than any single job.
We treat every yard, driveway, and landscaping feature like it's our own. Clean excavation, careful backfill, full site restoration. You'll barely know we were there — except the problem is fixed.
No voicemail purgatory. Matt answers calls during business hours, and his emergency line is always available for genuine crises. Your sewer problem doesn't wait, and neither does he.
Written quotes. Written scopes. Written diagnostic reports. If it's not on paper, it didn't happen. You deserve to know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Most of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. We'd rather do one job so well that you call us for the next five than cut corners and never hear from you again.
