The complete scope

Plan what shows. Build what supports it.

Beautiful finishes cannot overcome a site that moves water the wrong way. Nikao addresses elevations, drainage paths, compaction and soil movement so the patio, wall, turf or landscape above it has a better foundation.

  • Positive drainage away from structures
  • Regrading and soil correction
  • Excavation and compacted base work
  • Preparation for patios, turf and planting

How the work comes together

A disciplined build, step by step.

01

Read the site

We identify high points, low points, runoff, access and the intended finished elevations.

02

Move material

Excavation, import, export and compaction reshape the site in controlled stages.

03

Confirm the flow

Final grades and transitions are checked before surface materials are installed.

Built for the Front Range

Grading & Drainage that account for Colorado.

A Front Range project has to manage seasonal movement, sun exposure, runoff and the conditions already present on the property. Nikao evaluates the visible design and the site work required beneath it as one scope.

Common questions

Before you build.

Can grading help water near my foundation?

Positive grade and managed drainage paths can often improve surface-water conditions. More complex foundation or groundwater issues may require a specialist.

Is grading part of a patio project?

Yes. Elevation and drainage planning are core parts of a durable patio, wall or landscape installation.

Do you haul away excess soil?

Export, haul-off and imported base or soil can be included when the project requires it.
