Altamont got its start in 1935 around a new high school, and its name came from a student contest that blended Altonah and Mount Emmons. The town sits on the upper benchlands along SR-87, on the south slope of the Uintas, with oil fields all around it. It also catches about 38.7 inches of snow a year, more than most Basin towns.
All that snow has to go somewhere when it melts. On sloped bench ground, poor grading sends runoff straight at foundations and across driveways. We shape the ground to carry water off safely, dig footings below the frost, and compact the base so it holds through hard winters.
General excavation in Altamont for foundations, shops, and additions, dug to the size and depth in your plans.
Altamont trenching for water, sewer, gas, and power, kept below the frost line and backfilled once lines are in.
Grading for Altamont's sloped benchland lots so heavy snowmelt runs away from homes and outbuildings.
Drainage solutions in Altamont, from swales to regrading, built to handle a big spring melt.
Excavation and backfill for utility runs on Altamont properties, coordinated with the trades who set the lines.
Driveway base in Altamont built and compacted to carry pickups, trailers, and work trucks through freeze and thaw.
Call early, since Altamont is one of the farther stops on our route and we schedule trips ahead. Duchesne County’s frost depth is 30 inches, and with winters this snowy, footings and water lines need to be planned around it.
Give us a call too if spring melt runs toward your foundation, your driveway washes out on the slope, or a low spot collects water every thaw.
Bench soils on Altamont's slope can change from one lot to the next, and we set our depths and compaction to match what's there.
We bring equipment sized for your Altamont job, so a trip out covers the full scope of work.
Grades, slopes, and depths follow your plans, and we check them before backfill so snowmelt goes where it should.
Spoil piles stay neat, nearby structures stay protected, and we leave the site cleaned up when the work is done.
We schedule a visit to Altamont, walk the property, go over your plans, and look at slope and runoff before quoting.
We call Blue Stakes at least 3 business days ahead, then plan depths, grades, and the best time to bring crews out.
We excavate, trench, and grade to plan, shaping the slope so snowmelt has a clear path away from buildings.
Backfill gets compacted in lifts, then we finish the grade so your site is firm and ready for construction.
