Utah County
Alpine sits right against the mountains, and that's the whole story for sitework here: steep benches, big custom estate homes, and expansive clay soils that move if you don't grade, drain, and compact them correctly. Just up the road from our American Fork yard, Cadoava handles the excavation, retaining, concrete, and driveways that hillside Alpine homes demand.
Alpine's bench lots mean significant cut/fill and retaining walls. We engineer them for the slope so the grade — and the home above it — stays stable.
The clays here swell and shrink with moisture. Proper subgrade prep, drainage, and compaction are what keep driveways and foundations from cracking.
Alpine's large custom homes expect precise, clean work — from the foundation excavation to the finished concrete driveway and flatwork.
What we focus on here: Retaining walls, excavation, concrete driveways and flatwork, grading, and foundations for Alpine's hillside custom homes.
Yes — Alpine's benched, hillside lots make retaining walls common. We build engineered concrete and segmental walls, drained correctly so they don't fail.
Usually the expansive clay soils. Without proper subgrade prep, drainage, and compaction, the soil moves and cracks slabs and foundations. We fix what's underneath so the concrete lasts.
