"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!"

"It took us almost a year to be able to get our retaining wall done. Kristian and Quetzal Landscaping did a fantastic job including dealing with our neighbor and his concerns. We are moving out of the area, however, if we stayed and needed another wall built Kristian would be our go-to guy. Thank you so much Kristian."

"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

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
