About Us
Our Story: Built on Grit
Grit Excavation was founded by Brandon Ledkins with a simple but powerful goal — to bring honesty, precision, and dependability to excavation work across Utah. With years of hands-on experience and a deep respect for the land, Brandon saw the need for a company that not only moved earth but also built lasting relationships through quality work and strong values. What started with a single machine and a commitment to do things right has grown into a trusted excavation partner serving homeowners, builders, and developers across multiple counties.
Today, Grit Excavation continues to grow — expanding our equipment, capabilities, and service area without compromising the standards that built our reputation. Whether it’s digging a foundation, installing critical infrastructure, or tackling a large-scale land development project, we bring the same grit, attention to detail, and personal service to every job. As we look ahead, our mission remains clear: to be the most reliable, skilled, and respected excavation team in Utah.
