Excavation Contractors in Farmington, UT

Excavation contractors in Farmington work across a short, steep transect from the Wasatch to the Great Salt Lake. The city sits at about 4,246 feet with mountains to the east and the lake's wetlands to the west. Settled in 1847 and incorporated on February 18, 1852, it was named Davis County seat the same year.

Lake-effect snow

Lake-enhanced snowfall is frequent in winter. NOAA normals show about 48.6 inches of snow and 22.25 inches of precipitation a year, well above the Salt Lake City airport. Spring melt drives drainage work.

Two kinds of ground

East-side lots sit on foothill and terrace soils with slopes; west-side lots approach wetlands with flatter, wetter ground. Walls and curtain drains dominate on the east, raised pads and drainage on the west.

Large households

Farmington households average 3.43 people and 81 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Pools, play areas and RV parking are common projects.

Trails and open space

Farmington's trail system covers about 146 miles with 36 named trails from the eastern hills to the western wetlands. Many back yards border open space, which affects access and where spoil and runoff can go.

Historic district

The Clark Lane Historic District is on the National Register. Older homes there call for compact equipment and care near old foundations.

Downslope breezes

Cool downslope mountain breezes occur on most summer evenings. Combined with dry days, they lift dust from bare soil, so we water and limit how much ground is exposed at once.
