Land Reclamation Services
Expert environmental restoration and land reclamation across gravel quarries, highway corridors, mined lands, pipelines, and drainage canals throughout Utah.
Environmental Restoration and Site Reclamation
Gilbert Development Corp has built a strong track record of successfully completing land reclamation projects across a wide range of environments throughout Southern Utah and the western United States. Our reclamation division combines our deep earthwork expertise with a thorough understanding of environmental regulations, soil science, and revegetation techniques to restore disturbed lands to stable, productive conditions that meet all regulatory requirements.
Land reclamation is an essential component of responsible construction and mining operations, and it is a service we take seriously at every level of our organization. Whether restoring a gravel quarry to its natural contours, reclaiming a mined landscape in compliance with state and federal requirements, or rehabilitating a highway corridor after construction, our team brings precision, compliance expertise, and a commitment to long-term site stability that ensures successful outcomes for our clients and the communities we serve.
Our reclamation work is guided by a focus on three core principles: precision in execution, strict regulatory compliance, and long-term site stability. We understand that reclamation is not simply about moving earth back into place — it requires careful attention to soil horizons, drainage patterns, erosion control, and revegetation strategies that will ensure the restored landscape remains stable and ecologically functional for decades to come. Our experience in the varied terrain and climate conditions found across Southern Utah, from the red rock desert around St. George to the higher elevations of Iron County, allows us to develop reclamation plans tailored to each site's unique characteristics.
We work closely with regulatory agencies including the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining, the Bureau of Land Management, and local planning departments to ensure all reclamation activities meet current standards. Our team handles the full scope of reclamation work, from initial reclamation plan development through final bond release, giving our clients confidence that their sites will be properly restored and their regulatory obligations fully satisfied.

Soil Restoration
Replacement and amendment of topsoil horizons to support revegetation, including soil testing and nutrient analysis.
Erosion Control
Installation of temporary and permanent erosion control measures including silt fencing, blankets, check dams, and drainage structures.
