About working in Cheyenne.
Cheyenne is a short run up I-25 from our home base, and we cross-state work jobs throughout Laramie County — from south Cheyenne residential builds out to the rural east-county properties near Pine Bluffs and Burns. The work pattern is similar to Northern Colorado but with two real differences: wind and frost.
Wyoming wind is a daily factor on Wyoming jobs. It changes how we stockpile, how we handle erosion control, how we time concrete pours we're prepping for. Frost depths run deeper than Northern Colorado — typical water lines go 6' minimum to stay below it. We plan utility depths and foundation excavations accordingly.
We work residential builds, ranch and ag work, and small commercial projects across Laramie County. Coordination with local plumbing/electrical sub-trades, local engineers, and county requirements is part of the job.
Common projects in Cheyenne.
The work we see most often around Cheyenne, WY — though we handle plenty more. If your project doesn't fit one of these, call us anyway; we've probably done it.
- Residential pad and foundation
New builds across south Cheyenne and the Cheyenne foothills — engineered pads, basements, and crawl spaces dug to Wyoming frost depth.
- Rural drives and roads
Long ranch drives east toward Pine Bluffs and Burns, with culverts sized for the bigger rain events these properties see.
- Stock ponds and reservoirs
Cattle ponds and small irrigation reservoirs across Laramie County agricultural properties.
- Utility trenching
Water, sewer, gas, and electric lines trenched and bedded — to Wyoming frost depth, with local code compliance.
What we do in Cheyenne.
Cheyenne dirt-work has its own playbook. Foundation excavations go deeper to clear Wyoming frost (typically 5–6'), and water lines follow suit. Drives need to be built with grade and base depth that survive real winters and the freeze-thaw cycle that comes with them. Stockpile management on every job has to account for wind. Erosion control plans factor in higher wind-driven dust and sediment movement than Front Range jobs see.
NLS handles the full service line in Cheyenne and across Laramie County. The list below applies — with Wyoming-specific depth, frost, and wind considerations baked into every scope.
