Frequently Asked Questions
What types of excavation projects do you specialize in?
We specialize in custom home basement excavation for high-end residential builds—particularly in mountainous or complex terrain. Most of our work supports $5M–$25M estates in Park City, but we're equipped for a wide range of residential and small commercial projects.
How quickly can you start once a contract is signed?
We understand that time is money—especially in a short building season. Our large fleet allows us to mobilize quickly, often within days of final approvals and utility clearances. We'll coordinate closely with your builder or superintendent to hit the ground running.
Do you handle utility trenching and installation?
Yes. We handle full trenching and backfill for sewer, water, electrical, and storm drain systems. Our crews are experienced in working alongside utility companies and coordinating with city inspectors to keep your project on track.
Can you build retaining or decorative rock walls?
Absolutely. We stack natural boulder and block walls that are engineered for both function and aesthetics. Whether it's a structural hillside retention wall or a design-forward landscape feature, we build walls that match the scale and quality of the home above them.
