Excavation in Clinton, Davis County
Clinton sits in north Davis County between Clearfield and West Point, on flat ground that used to be mostly farms. Today it is largely residential, with subdivisions from several different decades mixed in with properties that still have room for a shop, a big garden or a few animals. Fields have given way to streets over the years, but many lots are still roomier than what you find in older parts of the county.
Flat ground sounds easy to grade, but it is the hardest kind to drain. With no natural fall, water sits wherever the yard is lowest. Getting a Clinton backyard right usually means setting a slight, deliberate slope away from the house and toward the street or a drain, then adding rock where it makes sense. The change in height can be small enough that you barely see it, and still be enough to keep water away from the foundation.
Other common jobs follow from how the town is laid out. Bigger lots need trenches for water, power and drainage lines out to a shop or the back corner of the yard. Families on standard lots put in in-ground trampolines, which get dug, set flush and graded back so the yard looks finished instead of torn up. Old sheds and fence lines on the bigger lots sometimes need to come out first.
