We all know that a solid foundation is the most important part of any construction project. Without properly compacted soil or appropriate sloping and water runoff mitigation, natural settling or weather elements can ruin a property and its structures. At Nixcavating, Inc., our experiences with the different types of soil throughout Colorado have enhanced our capabilities of giving you a sturdy base to build on.
