Excavation Contractors in South Jordan, UT

Excavation contractors in South Jordan dig into the floor of Lake Bonneville. The city's flat valley floor is built on lake sediments laid down between roughly 75,000 and 8,000 years ago, and land rises from about 4,300 feet at the Jordan River to 5,200 feet in the foothills.

Lake clay and drainage

Fine lake sediments drain slowly and need careful compaction. Pads, pool decks and walls are built on prepared, compacted bases, and grading carries water to the street or a drain rather than into the soil next to the house.

Daybreak

Kennecott Land began Daybreak in 2004 as a 4,200-acre planned community for more than 20,000 homes. The Daybreak Community Association enforces architectural standards, so projects there often need HOA approval before work starts.

Large households

About 81 percent of homes are owner-occupied and households average 3.09 people. Pools, play areas, ADUs and RV parking are frequent projects.

Common South Jordan jobs

Jordan River corridor

The east edge of the city drops toward the Jordan River at about 4,300 feet. Low lots there can have higher groundwater in spring. Deep digs get a dewatering plan.

Rising toward the foothills

West-side neighborhoods climb toward 5,200 feet. Slopes there need walls and runoff control on many lots.
