Utah Excavation — Dig Once, Grade Right
Foundation digs, utility trenching, rough grading, demolition, and drainage work with equipment on-site and haul-off included — not a dirt pile left in your yard for weeks.

Excavation is the unglamorous work that everything else depends on. A patio that floods because the grade is wrong. A foundation dig that hits the wrong depth. A utility trench that nicks an existing line. We have seen what happens when excavation gets rushed — and we do not rush it.
Our excavation services cover residential and light commercial work across the Salt Lake Valley: rough grading for new landscaping, footing and foundation digs, trenching for water and sewer lines, French drain installation for chronically wet yards, and selective demolition with debris haul-off.
We bring the right equipment for the job — not an oversized machine that tears up your existing lawn unnecessarily, and not hand digging when a mini excavator finishes in an hour. Every job includes cleanup and finish grading so the next trade or landscaping phase can start immediately.

How excavation works with JB Landscaping & Construction
Site survey
We locate utilities, assess access, measure depths and slopes, and confirm scope before equipment arrives.
Permits & planning
Projects requiring permits are flagged upfront. We coordinate with your builder or engineer on depth and grade specs.
Excavate & grade
Dig, trench, grade, or demolish per plan. Spoils are hauled or stockpiled based on your project needs.
Cleanup & handoff
Site is left graded, clean, and ready for the next phase — landscaping, concrete, or construction follow-up.
Seasonal note: Excavation runs year-round in Utah when ground conditions allow. Frozen ground limits winter digging — we advise honestly on timing. Spring through fall is peak season for foundation digs, drainage work, and site prep.
