Sergio and his team at Ecohabitat by Design built a large addition to our home. We love the result. It was good to work with Sergio during the months (as planned) of construction. We appreciate the work done by Sergio and we are enjoying our new home living areas.

Utility Line Excavation in Cottonwood Heights, UT
Ecohabitat By Design provides utility line excavation in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, with careful attention to the area's rocky alluvial terrain and sloped lots.
Expert Utility Line Excavation in Cottonwood Heights, UT
Utility line excavation in Cottonwood Heights means working through rocky alluvial soil deposited by Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. That mix of quartzite cobble, coarse gravel, and clay behaves differently from flat valley ground. Sloped lots shift soil over time, and water lines in Utah must be buried below the frost line to prevent freeze damage. Ecohabitat By Design handles the trench work needed to run, repair, or replace buried water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines across residential and commercial properties. We plan each trench path around existing root systems, established landscaping, and any infrastructure already in the ground. Before any machine touches your yard, underground utilities are located so nothing gets struck. After the line work is done, we backfill and compact the trench properly so the ground stays stable. We approach every job the way we would want it done on our own property, holding the same quality standard you would expect for yourself.
What's included
