Excavation in Plain City, Weber County
Plain City is in the northwest corner of Weber County, out on flat farm ground west of I-15. It has kept more of its rural character than most towns on the Wasatch Front, with fields, big lots, animals and outbuildings, and newer homes going in where farmland is being split up. It is the kind of place where a shop, a barn and a pasture can all sit behind one house.
Rural properties bring rural jobs. They tend to be bigger in area and simpler in layout: clearing a few acres of brush and old fence, tearing down a barn or a coop that has stood empty for years, cutting and leveling a pad for a new shop, or digging a long trench to carry water and power out to it. Old posts, wire and junk piles that turn up during clearing are dealt with as part of the same job.
The soil is the fine, slow-draining kind found across the west side of Weber County, and the land is close to flat. That means a finished grade has to be set with care. Without a planned slope, water from a new roof or driveway has nowhere to go but toward the house or across the neighbor's field. Ditches and low ground along field edges are part of figuring out where that water should end up.
