Civil Construction Services for the Wasatch Front

J and J Civil Construction, LLC self-performs the scopes that make a site buildable: earthwork, utilities, concrete, paving, and drainage. We work directly for developers and municipalities and as a sitework subcontractor for general contractors. Every service below is delivered by crews dispatched from our Millcreek yard, supervised by superintendants who have built through Utah winters and summer monsoon seasons alike.

Site Development and Earthwork

Raw ground becomes a buildable site through clearing, grubbing, topsoil stripping, and careful mass grading. We run GPS machine control on dozers and excavators so the pad matches the civil plans within tight tolerance, and we balance cut and fill volumes to keep trucking costs down. Embankments are built in lifts with moisture conditioning and compaction testing at the frequency the engineer of record specifies.

Our sitework scope also includes temporary erosion control, dust suppression, hauling, and pad certification surveys. Whether the project is a half acre commercial pad or a forty lot subdivision plate, the goal is the same: hand the next trade a surface that is flat where it should be flat, sloped where it should be sloped, and compacted everywhere.

Underground Utilities

We install water mains and laterals, sanitary sewer, storm drain, irrigation, and conduit banks with disciplined trench safety and bedding practice. Pipe is laid to line and laser grade, jointed to specification, and backfilled in controlled lifts with detection wire, tracer boxes, and warning tape where required. Pressure tests, mandrel pulls, and closed circuit television inspections document every line before we close the trench.

Tie-ins to live municipal systems are scheduled with the utility operator to minimize service interruptions, often in overnight or low demand windows. As-built drawings, valve and manhole records, and camera footage are delivered at closeout so owners and city crews can maintain what we buried without guesswork.

Concrete and Flatwork

Our concrete crews form and place footings, stem walls, structural and slabs on grade, curb and gutter, valley gutters, sidewalks, ADA ramps, and alley approaches. We batch to the mix design the plans call for, control joint spacing to manage shrinkage cracking, cure through temperature extremes, and protect fresh work from freeze damage in shoulder seasons.

Finish quality is checked against straightedge tolerances and slope requirements so surfaces drain to the inlets instead of toward buildings. Decorative and broom finishes, integral color, and sealing options are available for streetscapes and private improvements where appearance matters as much as strength.

Roadway and Asphalt Paving

From subgrade proof rolling to the final wear course, we build roadways that ride smooth and hold their shape. Aggregate base course is placed, watered, and compacted to density, then primed or tacked before asphalt lifts are paved to grade with controlled joints. We pave municipal streets, subdivision roads, commercial access drives, and parking fields of every size.

The paving scope includes grade control, joint sealing, temporary and permanent striping coordination, traffic control planning, and sweeping for turnover. Where a project calls for pavement rehabilitation instead of new construction, we mill, patch base failures, and overlay to extend the life of the existing section.

Drainage and Storm Systems

Water is the force that ruins sites, so we treat drainage as the backbone of every plan. We build detention and retention basins, truncate and regrade channels, set catch basins and manholes to exact rim elevations, install culverts and outfall structures, and armor concentrated flow paths with riprap, gabions, and geotextile.

Storm water quality features such as forebays, bioswales, and hydroseeding for slope stabilization are part of the package. After every significant storm event during construction, our crews walk the system, clean inlets, and repair erosion before it becomes a compliance problem with the authority having jurisdiction.

Project Management and Permitting

Behind the machines is an office that plans the work. Our project managers prepare line-item estimates, procurement schedules, SWPPP documentation, traffic control submittals, and permit applications for municipalities across the Salt Lake Valley. We run weekly owner updates with photos, progress against schedule, and a transparent cost to complete.

Closeout is handled as carefully as kickoff: punch lists worked to zero, as-builts transferred to digital files, compaction and material test reports compiled, warranties assembled, and final utility clearances obtained. The result is a turnover package that lenders, cities, and facility managers actually want to receive.

How a Project Runs

Five Steps From Inquiry to Closeout

Consult and Walk the Site

We visit the ground, review plans, and listen to your goals before pricing anything.

Estimate and Budget

A line-item proposal lands within days, with scope, exclusions, and schedule spelled out.

Permits and Scheduling

Submittals, SWPPP, and inspection sequences are locked in with the authority having jurisdiction.

Build and Inspect

Crews mobilize, work is tested as it goes, and you get weekly photo updates from the superintendant.

Closeout and Warranty

As-builts, test reports, and warranties are handed over, and our phone keeps working after the final invoice.
