72 years on Front Range ground
Since 1953, Nicon has helped build the Denver metro from the dirt up.

Nicon Excavating
Nicon Excavating has cleared, graded, and dug the Denver metro since 1953. Three generations, one standard: get the site right, and every wall, road, and foundation that follows stands straight.
Serving general contractors, developers, municipalities, and homeowners across the Front Range.
Why builders call Nicon first
A blown site-work phase pushes every trade behind it. That's why contractors keep Nicon on the call sheet: experienced operators, a well-maintained fleet ready to roll, and crews that hit grade the first time instead of chasing it. We've been doing this in Colorado soil since 1953 — we know how it moves, how it drains, and how to keep your project on the calendar.

An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a clean federal safety record. We stand behind the work.
What we do
Nicon handles the technical, ground-up phases of construction: the clearing, excavation, utilities, and grading that determine whether everything built afterward holds. One company for the full arc of the site means fewer subs to coordinate and one number to call when it matters.
Who we work with
A dependable site-work sub who reads plans, holds grade, and keeps your build on schedule.
Talk site workRoad widening, storm systems, inlets, and public infrastructure, with the licensing and record to bid public work.
