Our Services
Excavating Services Built Around Your Project Needs
We offer a full range of excavation solutions for properties throughout the Ogden area. Each service is performed with attention to proper techniques and site-specific requirements. Our team brings the right equipment and expertise to handle residential and commercial projects of any size.
Land Grading
Establishing the right slope and elevation is critical for drainage and construction. We grade properties to positive slopes that direct water away from structures and prevent pooling. Whether you need rough grading for new construction or finish grading for landscaping, we set the groundwork for a stable, well-drained property.
Land Clearing
We remove trees, brush, stumps, and vegetation to prepare your site for development. Our land clearing services include the option to stockpile materials on-site or haul everything away, depending on your preferences. The result is a clean slate ready for grading, construction, or landscaping work.
Shed & Hot Tub Pads
A properly prepared pad prevents settling and creates a stable base for sheds, hot tubs, and other backyard structures. We excavate to the correct depth, ensure proper compaction, and create a level surface that will support your installation. Our pad preparation includes attention to drainage so water doesn't collect around your structure.
Driveway Excavation
New driveways start with proper excavation and base preparation. We grade the driveway path, remove unsuitable material, and prepare the sub-base for either gravel or paved surfaces. We can also install permeable pavement systems like TrueGrid for driveways that manage stormwater effectively.
Utility & Plumbing Excavation
Installing or repairing underground utilities requires precision trenching and proper backfill techniques. We dig utility trenches for water lines, sewer connections, electrical conduit, and gas lines while protecting existing infrastructure. We coordinate with utility companies for locates and handle backfill and compaction to prevent future settling.
Propane Tank Installation
Installing a propane tank requires excavation to the correct depth with proper clearances and safety measures. We dig the tank pit, ensure stable bedding, and coordinate the installation process with your propane provider. Our excavation work meets all code requirements for propane tank placement and proper backfill.
Erosion Control
Protecting your property from soil loss during and after excavation is part of responsible site work. We implement erosion control measures including proper grading techniques, temporary sediment barriers, and permanent solutions. Erosion control is especially important on sloped properties or areas with heavy water flow.
Site Preparation
Complete site preparation covers everything from initial land clearing through final grading. We clear and grade the land, excavate for footings or basements, install drainage systems, and handle backfill work around foundations. We finish with final grading that leaves your property ready for landscaping or other finishing work.
