"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!"

"I am with a National GC. We hired Barrios to complete a complex drainage repair for one of our commercial projects. Michael and the crew did an outstanding job. They were punctual and adhered to the schedule. I was very pleased and Michael had great communication through the project."

"I normally don’t leave reviews, but the amazing service I received inspired me to share my experience with others. Kan Builders just completed my project and the entire process was nice. My project manager was incredibly respectful of my home, made sure her crew kept everything clean and out of the way. She truly treated my home like her own. The communication with the entire team was great from start to finish. I am so grateful for the results my husband and I love that we can now host and have staycations in our own home . I highly recommend them to anyone. To Keme thank you for our great human to human conversations. Now that the project is over that is what I’ll miss. Thank you Kan Builders"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
