Driveway Excavation

Excavation, removal and prep for new driveways, approaches and hardscape, dug to grade and compacted so what gets poured lasts.

A driveway is one of the hardest-working surfaces on any property, and like everything else, it is only as good as the excavation and prep underneath it. Dig and compact it right and it lasts for decades. Skip the prep and it cracks, settles and heaves the first hard winter.

Pro Excavating & Grading handles driveway excavation and prep across Utah County for residential and commercial properties: excavating and removing old drives, cutting to grade, and building the compacted base that new concrete, asphalt or pavers need.

Whether it is a new home driveway, a commercial approach, or a hardscape project, we prep the ground so what gets built on top holds up.

Removal & Excavation

We remove old, cracked or failing driveways and excavate the area to the depth and grade the new surface requires. Careful excavation around the home, landscaping and utilities keeps the rest of the property protected.

Getting the depth and grade right is what sets up a driveway that drains and lasts, not one that ponds water and cracks.

Compacted Base

Under every good driveway is a properly prepared, compacted base. We place and compact the base material to the right depth and density so the concrete, asphalt or pavers on top have a stable, non-settling foundation.

On Utah's cobble and variable soils, this prep is what separates a driveway that holds from one that fails, and it is the step cheap jobs skip.

Grade & Drainage

A driveway has to shed water. We cut the grade so the surface drains away from the home and off the drive, and tie it cleanly into the street and the surrounding grade.

Because we handle the whole prep, your concrete or paving contractor gets a driveway pad that is dug, based and graded and ready to pour.
