Land Development · Excavation · Underground Utilities
Raw ground to
finished site.
We self-perform the entire site package — clearing, earthwork, wet and dry utilities, storm, and grading — so a developer signs one contract and holds one crew accountable for the whole sequence.
The case for one contractor
The seams between subs are where schedules die.
On a typical development, earthwork, utilities, and concrete are three contracts and three schedules. Every handoff is a demobilization, a new mobilization, and an argument about whose grade was wrong.
J & J holds an E-100 General Engineering and a B-100 General Building license and self-performs across every phase. One contract, one schedule, one warranty, and one party responsible when something under the ground has to be uncovered.
That control is what keeps commercial builds, multi-family projects, and full land developments on the calendar they were underwritten against.
How we workSite sequence · the critical path
Six phases. One crew.
This is the order every development runs in, and the order most projects lose time in. We hold all six.
- 01
Clear
Grubbing, tree removal, and demolition of what is already there.
- 02
Cut
Mass excavation and cut/fill balance to the engineered elevation.
- 03
Wet
Culinary water, secondary, and sanitary sewer with tie-ins and testing.
- 04
Dry
Power, gas, and fiber conduit trenched and vaulted.
- 05
Storm
Storm mains, catch basins, and detention built to the drainage report.
- 06
Grade
Finish grade, compaction, and certified pads for the vertical trades.
Heavy civil & site work
What we dig.
Land Development
Raw ground to recorded, buildable lots — clearing, mass grading, and the full wet and dry utility backbone under one contract.
Scope & detail → 02Excavation
Cut, fill, and haul that takes raw ground to a pad-ready, engineered building site at the elevation the plans call for.
Scope & detail → 03Underground Utilities
Water, sewer, storm, gas, power, and fiber installed and tied in by one licensed crew — no handoff between the trench and the pipe.
Scope & detail → 04Grading & Site Prep
Rough and finish grading to plan, compacted and certified, so the next trade starts on a surface that will pass inspection.
Scope & detail → 05Demolition
Full structure and site demolition, hauled out, with the ground left graded and ready for the next build.
Scope & detail → 06Trenching
Straight, accurate, properly shored trench for utilities, drainage, and footings — cut to line and grade the first time.
Scope & detail →Vertical construction
We can build it too.
The B-100 license means we do not have to stop at the pad. On commercial, multi-family, and custom residential work we can carry a project from raw ground through the finished structure.
- Commercial Building Ground-up commercial construction from a licensed B-100 general building contractor who also owns the site work.
- Multi-Family Apartment, townhome, and condominium construction with the site infrastructure self-performed underneath it.
- Custom Homes Custom homes and additions on difficult lots, where the site work is the hard part and we already own it.

Where we work.
From the yard in American Fork north to Salt Lake and east over the pass into the Heber Valley and Park City. Every city below has its own ground conditions, and we price them that way.

What owners say
Jody noticed a problem with my job while driving by one day. He came over and fixed the problem without charging us. I know that J & J Services pride themselves in taking care of the customer.
They came and cleaned the area and even took care of a tree that would have caused me problems with the neighbor. We have other projects coming up and we are for sure going to be using them again.
Next step
Send us the civil set.
Give us the grading and utility plans and we will price the site package. If you are still in entitlement, we will walk the ground and give you a budget number to underwrite against.
