"We were very impressed with the paver work the Accurate Grading team did for our driveway and sidewalk to our house. Cameron did a thorough walk-through with us and provided a very reasonable quote, compared with others. They got our project going within a week, and showed up on time daily. The crew paid great attention to detail and kept us up to date and confirmed decisions on design along the way. They did an excellent job grading and prepping the driveway after finding several large boulders. Can't recommend enough - great value and enjoyable experience!"

"The gentleman was on time and very professional. During the quote, he stated the job would be approximately $900.00 to remove and preserve the metal fence. I believed that to be a reasonable price. However, after receiving a quote for $1800.00 which is double the price, and the cost of a new fence is approximately $1300.00 I decided to go elsewhere and replace the fence."

"I had the pleasure of working with John Dickie Construction for a remodel of both my kitchen and master bathroom, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, John and his team were professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of workmanship was exceptional, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. They listened to my ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and delivered on time. The kitchen and bathroom turned out even better than I imagined, blending modern functionality with stunning design. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers top-notch craftsmanship with excellent customer service, I highly recommend John Dickie Construction. I’ll definitely be reaching out for future projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
