Dutch John went up starting in 1957 to house the workers building Flaming Gorge Dam. The townsite was privatized in 1998 and incorporated in 2016, so a lot of what happens here now is homeowners adding on, fixing old drainage, or building on lots that finally became theirs.
That makes good groundwork important. Dutch John gets about 44 inches of snow a year, and melt has to go somewhere. We dig to your plans and grade so water moves away from homes. Since it’s a long drive north on US-191, we group Dutch John work into planned trips.

Because we group work in the area, reaching out early in the season gives us the best shot at fitting your job into a trip north.
Lots in Dutch John range from older fill to undisturbed native ground, so we look closely before setting depth and compaction.

We put in the Blue Stakes ticket at least 3 business days before digging and map out depths, routes, and spoil.
