Excavation in Clearfield, Davis County
Clearfield is a compact city in north Davis County, with Hill Air Force Base on its east side and the Freeport Center industrial park inside its borders. Its neighborhoods are mostly established, with a lot of modest lots and homes that have been around for decades. Many of those houses were built close together, with narrow side yards and fences on every line.
Smaller lots make access the first question on almost every job. A machine has to fit through a gate or down the side of the house, and there is not much room to stage dirt. Photos of the yard, the fence line and the path in from the street let Ryan work out what fits before he quotes it. Tight corners next to the house, the deck or a neighbor's fence are worked by hand instead of with the machine.
Typical Clearfield projects are the ones that come with owning an older home. A detached garage or shed is past saving and needs to come down. A water line or drain line needs a fresh trench. A backyard that has settled over the years needs regrading so water stops pooling against the foundation. Trees whose roots are lifting a fence or crowding the house can come out as part of the same visit.
Commercial work comes up here too, and Dig Daddy takes jobs for general contractors as well as homeowners, from small residential digs to larger projects.
