Private Utility Locating in Falcon, Peyton & Elbert, CO
Big lots, long private runs, and 811 stops at the meter. We find and mark the rest before the auger, the trencher or the skid steer goes in. Falcon and Peyton with no travel charge.
Falcon, Peyton & the east side
Country lots and everything 811 leaves unmarked
East of the Springs the lots get big and the private runs get long. Falcon, Peyton, Meridian Ranch, Woodmen Hills and Latigo are inside our home zone with no travel charge; Calhan, Ellicott, Yoder and the Elbert County side toward Elbert and Kiowa carry a flat travel fee that is shown on the quote before you approve it.
811 marks the utility companies' lines up to your meter and stops. Out here that leaves a lot unmarked: the power from the road to the house and on to the barn, the well line, the propane run, the irrigation, the septic and leach lines, and whatever the last owner buried for the fence. We trace what carries a signal with an electromagnetic locator, sweep with ground-penetrating radar for what does not, and paint the results in APWA color code where the line runs. Anything we could not find goes in writing, so you know where to hand-dig before the auger, the trencher or the skid steer goes in.
Work we have done on the east side, from the job log: a church playground on Bradshaw Road in Peyton; locates on Bradshaw Road for an electrical contractor; an in-floor heat and utility locate on Kolstad Loop in Elbert; a locate on Hallelujah Trail in Elbert; a locate on Ellicott Highway in Yoder; and a Route Day locate on Cactus Hills Lane.
We also scan concrete before cutting or coring, trace sewer laterals from the cleanout, manage Colorado 811 tickets for contractors, and measure utility footage off plan sets. Residential locates are a flat rate for the visit. Send the address and what you are digging and we send a firm number, within one business day.

Falcon and Peyton questions
Questions we get from Falcon and Peyton
Anything else, call or text (719) 800-4937.
811 marked my lines in Falcon and Peyton. Why do I still need you?
Because they marked their lines, not yours. The 811 members mark the gas, electric, water and sewer they own, up to your meter or the end of their own line. The gas to the fire pit, the power to the shed, the irrigation, the sewer lateral from the house to the main and the line to the well are private, and none of them are on that ticket. Those are what we mark.
How fast can you get to a Falcon and Peyton address?
Usually within a few days, and same-day or next-day when the schedule allows. Send the address and what you are digging through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937. You get a firm quote within one business day, often the same day, and once it is approved with the deposit the date is held.
Do you give the depth of the lines you mark?
No. We mark the horizontal position on the surface in APWA color, and we do not give depth: a number that is off by a foot is worse than none. Hand-dig or pothole to expose a line before you cross it with a machine.
