Excavation & Grading

Precision digging, cut and fill, and grading, the foundation under every commercial and residential build on the Wasatch Front.

Every project that starts with raw ground starts with excavation and grading. It is the shaping of the earth itself, cutting what is too high, filling what is too low, and grading the result to the exact elevations a pad, foundation or drainage plan requires. Done right it disappears under everything you build. Done wrong it shows up as ponding water, cracked slabs and failed inspections.

Pro Excavating & Grading handles excavation and grading of every size across Saratoga Springs, Lehi, Eagle Mountain and the wider Utah County market, for general contractors and homeowners alike. As a professional, established outfit, we bring the right iron and, just as important, operators who read the ground and hit the numbers the survey and the city inspector demand.

Whether you are prepping a commercial building pad, cutting a home site into the bench, or balancing a whole subdivision, the fundamentals are the same: read the ground, respect the water, and grade to spec.

Cut, Fill & Site Balancing

Rough grading is the heavy shaping, establishing the general elevations and contours by cutting and filling. On a commercial site or a subdivision, that often means balancing cut and fill across the whole job to minimize import and export, which keeps your budget in check.

We read the plans and the site first, where water needs to go, how the pads tie together, how the grades meet the streets, then move material with a plan. On the cobble and variable ground of the old Utah Lake bench, that experience is what keeps a job efficient.

Precision Finish Grading

Finish grading is the exact final pass that readies a site for concrete, asphalt, sod or landscaping. Tolerances tighten up here, and on a commercial job the grade answers to a survey and an inspector. We grade to the numbers so it passes the first time.

Positive drainage is built in at this stage: subtle, deliberate slopes that carry water away from buildings and off the site the way the civil plan intends. It is precise work, and it is where a professional crew earns its reputation.

Commercial & Residential

For general contractors we handle mass excavation, building pads, site grading and the earthwork that keeps a commercial schedule moving. We coordinate with your superintendent and the trades so the dirt phase is never the bottleneck.

For homeowners and home builders we cut foundations and basements, balance lots, and finish grade for landscaping and drainage, working clean and careful and communicating clearly the whole way.
