Our site prep services include clearing vegetation and debris, rough grading to proper elevation, creating level building pads, establishing proper drainage slopes, soil compaction, and preparing access routes. We ensure your lot meets local building code requirements before foundation work begins.
Foundation depth depends on your specific project and local codes. In Southern Utah, residential footings typically need to be 18-24 inches below grade to get below the frost line. Deeper foundations may be required for basements, slopes, or specific soil conditions. We excavate to whatever depth your engineer specifies.

Permit requirements vary by project type and municipality. Foundation excavation, septic systems, significant grading, and work near property lines typically require permits in Washington County. We can help guide you through the permit process and coordinate with local building departments.

Hitting a gas, water, or electrical line can result in injuries, costly repairs, and legal liability. Professionals know how to locate and avoid buried utilities.
