Excavation Contractors in Millcreek, UT

Excavation contractors in Millcreek mostly work on homes built between World War II and the 1980s. The area was largely rural until after the war; suburbs then spread south and east, and by the 1980s neighborhoods like Canyon Rim and Mount Olympus were built out. Millcreek became a city on December 28, 2016, and counted 63,380 residents in 2020 on 12.77 square miles.

Homes now 40 to 75 years old

Houses that age bring sewer laterals near the end of their life, settled yards, leaning walls and basements that take on water in spring. Additions and ADUs are common too, because owners tend to stay: about 87 percent of residents lived in the same house a year earlier.

Toward the canyon

Mill Creek Canyon, undeveloped and part of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, borders the city on the east, and the ground rises toward it. East-side lots handle runoff from above, so curtain drains and retaining walls show up often.

Common Millcreek jobs

• French and curtain drains
• Retaining wall rebuilds
• Sewer lateral replacement
• Addition footings and basement work

Permits

As a newer city, Millcreek runs its own permit office. We confirm grading, right-of-way and wall permit requirements before quoting.

Four community councils

The city is divided into four community councils, and neighborhoods differ in lot size, slope and age. Streets closer to the canyon are steeper than those on the valley floor. We treat each property on its own terms rather than applying a one-size plan.

Mature landscaping

Decades-old trees and hedges are part of what owners value here. Trench routes and access paths are planned to protect them, and hand digging is used near large roots.
