"I hired Brad (On Grade Construction) because his bid was thorough and detailed. My job necessitated the removal of a lot of tree roots, which he did methodically and painstakingly. He had the perseverance and all the necessary equipment to do the job as thoroughly as I had hoped. For the most part Brad is a one man show so he is the guy who is there on the job, doing the labor, answering questions and making suggestions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. I like that. For the same reason, the job took a little longer than I might have hoped in the beginning, but the end product is well done and completely satisfactory. Brad is forthright in explaining his costs and rates, and was honest in deducting costs when they turned out to be less than he had anticipated. The actual price of my finished job was slightly less than his original bid. Brad was honest, hard-working, and I am very pleased with my new curb, gutter and sidewalks."

"The hardwood floors in our property were really in bad shape after been rented for several years and I didn’t think anyone could fixed the damage. When Chris Geoff came to give us the estimate, he was so confident that he could bring back the beauty of our floors that I think, it was the main factor to choose them for the job. I have never been so happy with a contractor in my life, the job that Chris did was AMAZINGLY beautiful. He was 100% right, my floors are so smooth and beautiful that you can appreciate the grain of the wood. Before sanding the floors, Francisco (Paco) Del Angel removed all the baseboards and replaced them with new ones after Chris finished with the floors, and he also did an amazing job. They both treated our place with care and cleaned everything before leaving. I recommend these contractors 100% and thank them for an outstanding job."

"These guys ROCK! They went above and beyond to get my project done in a timely manner. They installed a new sprinkling system, they graded my property and installed sod. Also, they did curbing, fixed my leaning retaining wall & installed gravel! Communication was spot on. My place looks fantastic! Can’t wait to plant stuff next spring. I highly recommend using them and would hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Running secondary irrigation systems heavily during the summer saturates the soil and undermines compacted backfill. Piling snow directly over restored areas also creates localized frost heave. Avoid parking heavy vehicles on recently backfilled spots until a full UT freeze-thaw cycle completes. Finally, planting large trees directly over utility corridors introduces root intrusion that destroys your recent excavating project.

Helpful?

You face unexpected complications if your contractor encounters hidden cobble, boulders, or bedrock in the local soils. High groundwater near the Ogden River requires specialized dewatering pumps. Unearthing unmapped private utility lines or abandoned septic systems also creates immediate delays. Additionally, winter excavating demands specialized frost removal equipment and heated backfill, which drastically expands the scope of your project.

Helpful?

Watch for uneven or sunken ground surfaces, especially after the spring thaw in Ogden. Cracking in driveways or walkways that follows an old trench outline indicates the soil was improperly compacted. You should also check for standing water pooling in your yard or sinkholes forming above aging utility lines. These signs mean your previous excavating work requires professional attention.

Helpful?

Always contact the local utility locating service at least two days before starting any excavating project. Secure all required permits from the local building department. Schedule your project between late April and October to avoid the heavy spring snowmelt in UT. Request a soil assessment to identify expansive clay, and notify your homeowners association to ensure complete compliance.

Helpful?

Horizontal foundation cracks indicate lateral soil pressure, which requires excavating to fix exterior drainage. If standing water enters your basement, exterior waterproofing is necessary. Conversely, water pooling far from your structure only requires surface grading. For slow drains, hire a local professional to perform a camera inspection before assuming you need a major excavating repair in Ogden.
