Excavation in Hooper, Weber County
Dig Daddy Excavation is a Hooper business, so this is the closest ground to home. Hooper is in west Weber County near the Great Salt Lake, and it is still largely farm country: wide lots, open fields, barns and outbuildings, and homes set well back from the road, with new subdivisions filling in pieces of old farm ground. Some of those properties carry a lifetime of sheds, coops and old fencing.
Big lots bring big-lot jobs. Old barns, coops and sheds that have stood for years get torn down and cleared away. Acreage that has gone to weeds gets brought back into shape. Pads for a new shop or garage are cut and leveled, and long trench runs carry water and power from the house out to the outbuildings. Rock for a driveway or a shop pad can be priced in as an option, next to the cost of leveling alone.
The soil here is the west-side kind: fine lake clay and silt that holds water, with groundwater that comes up in spring. Flat fields drain slowly, so grading a Hooper property is mostly about giving the water a direction. For a new home or an addition, the foundation dig and backfill are planned around how wet the ground gets. Low spots that hold water after a storm can often be fixed with a careful regrade.
