Excavation Contractors in Bountiful, UT

Excavation contractors in Bountiful work on some of the steepest residential ground in the area. The original town sits at the base of the Wasatch Range, and most neighborhoods climb high up its slopes; the city is listed at about 4,771 feet. Perrigrine Sessions settled Bountiful on September 27, 1847, making it Utah's second settlement, and it incorporated in 1892.

Snow and slope

Bountiful averages about 58.7 inches of snow a year, with 13.3 in December and 12.1 in January. On slopes, that much snowmelt drives water into back yards and against foundations. Curtain drains, walls and grading are the core of most projects here.

Lake terrace soils

USDA Parleys soils, with their type location in Davis County, form in lake sediments on terraces, escarpments and foothills with slopes up to 40 percent. They are well to moderately well drained, with clay loam subsoils. Cut slopes in them need support and drainage.

Common Bountiful jobs

• Retaining walls and terraces
• Curtain and perimeter drains
• Lateral replacement

Long-term owners

About 71 percent of homes are owner-occupied and 85 percent of residents lived in the same house a year earlier.

Access on steep streets

Steep streets and driveways limit truck size and staging. We use smaller trucks when needed, set chocks and plan loading so equipment is never parked on an unsafe grade.

Original town at the base

Below the benches, the original town has older homes on flatter ground. Sewer laterals, garage teardowns and drainage fixes there are a different kind of job from hillside wall work above.
