Dirt Done Right
The Excavation Crew Utah County Builds On
From a commercial pad in Saratoga Springs to a custom home foundation on the bench, we handle the dirt phase that every project depends on.
Utah County is booming, and the ground here does not make it easy. Cobble and river rock along the old lakebed. High water tables near Utah Lake. Tight municipal grading and drainage requirements. Aggressive build schedules where the whole job waits on the excavation crew. A contractor who does not know this ground, or does not communicate, becomes the bottleneck that holds up every trade behind them.
Pro Excavating & Grading is different. We have been digging and grading the Wasatch Front since 2017, for general contractors and homeowners alike, and our reputation comes down to two things our customers say again and again: on time, and great communication. We show up, we hit the grade, and we keep you in the loop.

Why Pro Excavating
Precise, Professional, On Time.
Anybody can move dirt. What sets a professional excavation contractor apart is precision and communication: hitting the survey grade, keeping the site safe and clean, and telling the GC or the homeowner exactly where things stand. That is what keeps a project on schedule and off the punch list.
- On time, every time. We show up when we say and keep the schedule moving.
- Great communication. You always know the plan and the status.
- Commercial and residential. Two sectors, the same professional standard.
- Grade-accurate work. We hit the numbers the survey and inspector require.
- Utah owned since 2017. Local, accountable, and here to stay.

A Closer Look
Every Service, Explained
What each service actually involves, and why it takes a professional crew on Utah ground.
Excavation & Grading
The core of everything we do. We dig, cut, fill and grade to precise elevations for commercial and residential builds. On the Wasatch Front, that means working around cobble, high water tables near Utah Lake, and tight grading tolerances that a GC and a city inspector will both check. More on excavation & grading →
Site Preparation
Turning raw ground into a buildable pad: stripping topsoil, rough grading, establishing drainage and getting the site ready for foundation and utilities. Clean site prep keeps every trade that follows on schedule. More on site prep →
Foundation Excavation
Footings, basements and building pads dug to plan and compacted to hold. We coordinate with your builder, hit the grades, and keep the excavation safe and accurate so the concrete crew keeps moving. More on foundations →
Underground Utilities
Our specialty. Water, sewer, storm drain and dry-utility trenching, set to depth and slope, bedded and backfilled to spec, with Blue Stakes locates called every time. Commercial and residential alike. More on utilities →
Demolition & Tear-Out
Structures, slabs, foundations and site tear-outs removed and hauled clean, leaving you workable ground ready for the next phase. More on demolition →
Concrete Breaking & Removal
Breaking, hauling and removing concrete, driveways, flatwork and footings. Heavy, straightforward work that clears the pad for whatever comes next. More on concrete removal →
Dirt & Debris Hauling
Import and export of dirt, spoil, gravel and debris, in and out, so your site stays workable and on schedule. One crew for the whole material flow. More on hauling →
Driveway Excavation
Excavation, removal and prep for new driveways, approaches and hardscape, dug to grade and compacted so what gets poured on top lasts. More on driveways →
Built For Utah Ground
Excavation That Understands The Wasatch Front
Good excavation is invisible when it is done right and impossible to ignore when it is done wrong. It is the layer nobody sees once the building is up, and it is the layer that decides whether the slab stays flat, the utilities stay put and the site drains. On the Wasatch Front, that starts with understanding this specific ground.
Cobble & River Rock
The old Utah Lake lakebed left cobble and rock through much of the valley. It slows a dig, eats trench walls and changes how you compact. The right iron and an operator who expects it keep the job on budget instead of hitting rock and stalling.
High Water Tables
Close to Utah Lake and the wetlands, groundwater can show up shallow. Trenching and foundation work near it takes planning and care, and we build drainage and dewatering into the approach so water is managed, not fought.
Grades & Inspections
Utah County cities hold tight grading and drainage standards, and a commercial job answers to a survey and an inspector. We work to the numbers so the grade passes the first time and the trades behind us are not held up.
None of it is glamorous. It is dirt, rock, water and grade. But it is the foundation, literally, of every project we touch, and it is why builders across Utah County keep our number. When the grade has to be right and the schedule cannot slip, you want a crew that knows this ground and communicates like a professional.

The Point Of The Mountain Boom
Growing With Utah County
There may be no busier building corridor in the country right now than the stretch from Point of the Mountain down through Lehi, Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. Tech campuses, retail centers, multi-family, and thousands of new homes are going in across ground that was farmland a few years ago, and every one of those projects starts with excavation and grading.
Pro Excavating & Grading grew up right in the middle of it. Being based in Saratoga Springs puts us minutes from most of Utah County and a short run into Salt Lake County, which means fast mobilization, competitive pricing and a crew that already knows the cities, the inspectors and the ground. As the valley keeps building, we are built to keep up, with the equipment, the experience and the communication that busy commercial and residential schedules demand.
Whether you are a GC breaking ground on a commercial pad or a family building a custom home on the bench, we bring the same professional standard: on time, on grade, and easy to work with. That is how you grow a reputation in a market this competitive, and it is how we plan to keep earning yours.

Absolutely. On commercial and larger residential jobs we work to the engineered plans and survey stakes, hitting the elevations the design and the city inspector require so the grade passes and the project stays on schedule.
What size projects do you take on?
