WHY CHOOSE ICON X?
As a locally owned and operated Colorado business, we take pride in building strong relationships with the people and communities we serve. That means you’re not dealing with a distant outfit — you're working with a team that’s accountable, responsive, and deeply invested in the success of your project.
We proudly serve clients across the state with professional excavation, fire mitigation, land clearing, and heavy equipment services. Whether breaking ground, clearing land, or protecting property, we bring the right experience and tools to every job.
With more than six company-owned pieces of heavy equipment, we’re built to deliver — no waiting, no excuses. We show up with capability, commitment, and the drive to do things right the first time.
Better relationships. Better execution. That’s what we’re built on. Let’s get to work.
We founded Icon Excavation with a straightforward belief that trust, accountability, and quality work should be the foundation of every project. As a locally rooted company, we’re built on relationships — with clients, communities, and the land itself. From fire mitigation and land clearing to excavation and restoration, we approach every job with care, precision, and pride.
Our commitment starts with showing up prepared — with a skilled team, the right equipment, and a promise to get the job done right.

"Jarrad and his crew did such an amazing job on our project!!! We had no idea how to start the process or even where to start and he took care of everything from start to finish with us, so we still felt involved. He had great ideas to help save money but also to help bring our vision to life!! He was very observant throughout the entire job and honest with any questions we had, and his crew were great and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him and his team if you are in need of an experienced contractor. Cant thank him enough."
