Peter and Alexandra Blake have called Western Colorado home for more than 35 years, building their business while working and managing their own ranch. That experience has shaped Peter’s hands-on approach to excavation—understanding how water moves, how land responds, and knowing that sometimes the best solution isn’t the most obvious one.
They founded Environmental Excavation LLC in 2001, building the company around that same experience and work ethic. Today, EE is a full-service water and land management company serving private clients, contractors, and government agencies throughout Western Colorado.
Peter brings years of experience and a natural ability to problem-solve in the field. Whether working in a river, rebuilding a diversion, restoring damaged land, or taking on an unusual project, he is known for coming up with creative solutions that work.
Some of our previous and current clients.
“Environmental Excavation has been critical in our land restoration efforts. They are a full-service shop, offering expertise in all tasks that range from earthmoving and excavation, to erosion control and irrigation design/install, to soil amendments and planting. Peter Blake has a deep passion for restoration work and has an artist’s eye when it comes to large-scale landscape design. Peter is reliable and goes the extra mile to complete projects.”
“The work the Blakes did on a native fish barrier in rural Gunnison County was an exercise in creative problem-solving and perseverance. Despite winter conditions and the project site being “in the middle of nowhere,” EE finished on time and on budget, exceeding expectations. I can highly recommend working with the Blake Family and their crew.”

“Peter and his crew far exceeded our expectations. We were most impressed with their attention to detail and unique design ideas. They are true pros!”
