Services
Nixcavating is a Longmont based and family-run company founded by owner Scott Nix in 1982. He started the company with a broken backhoe and a determination to work for himself, and over the years, he has acquired some very valuable project management experience, a large heavy equipment fleet, and priceless personnel.
Nixcavating has been providing quality excavation, underground utility, and site preparation and grading services along the Colorado Front Range for over thirty-five years. We have the capabilities to manage all your civil needs, from the project layout to the final grading. We strive to be not only a resource, but also a guide and adviser throughout your project.
Thank you for your outstanding contributions, commitment, and participation in this project. Your willingness to be a part of our total project team made it possible for us to realize the completion of a sometimes challenging job. Nixcavating has the equipment and experience to safely and efficiently remove any unwanted structures, buildings, landscaping, or walkways and driveways from your project.
We all know a solid foundation is the most important part of any project. Without properly compacted soil or appropriate sloping and water runoff mitigation, natural settling or weather elements can ruin property and structures. Our experiences with the many different types of soils throughout Colorado help us to ensure we are able to give you a sturdy base to build upon.

Don't let them near your irrigation system. They trenched through mine and buried the lines without pressurizing the water. Sure, you can call them up and ask them to fix it, but I'm not sure they can find good help. I gave up asking them to come back. Now almost 3 months later, I still spend every other Saturday digging up irrigation lines in my yard and fixing leaks myself... even ones they had already dug up and "fixed". What a disaster.

I have dealt with Nixcavating several times on different jobs around my small farm. I hesitate to write a great review simply because I want to keep them to myself! But they deserve the best review I can give, so 10 stars to these fine folks. They are attentive, fair, thorough, honest, and they always make sure that I am 100% satisfied before they finish. You will not find another company of this type that is better than Nixcavating.

WOW, We had a water leak at the Bar L Motel so I needed the ground opened up and leak fixed very quickly. I would usually make all the arrangements and align the subs and city myself, but Nix said they would do it, 'Turn Key'. WOW, they were prompt, they had the city out on time, they did the underground utility location, they dug, repaired, ordered fill, covered and compacted. Professional and Quick. Thank You!

We have a very limited access to our backyard, when a fire destroyed the garage Nixcavating came in to demo the garage and remove the concrete slab. They expertly maneuvered several large vehicles on the narrow drive to get the structure demoed with no damage to the drive, fence, or landscaping. The heavy equipment operators were impressive at getting the structure and slab completely down with limited access!

We love working with Scott and his crews. We have used them several times on various projects and all done to expectations. We will definitely use them again and highly recommended them to anyone.
