Excavation in Roy, Weber County
Roy is in south Weber County, between Hooper and Hill Air Force Base, and much of it was built out in the decades after the base grew. Streets are lined with ranch homes and split-levels on standard suburban lots, many with a detached garage, a carport or a shed out back. Most of those lots are flat or close to it, and the way into the backyard is usually through a side gate.
Houses that age bring their own list of projects. Old outbuildings get torn down to open up the yard. Trees that have outgrown the lot come out. Backyards that have sunk and shifted over the years get regraded so water moves away from the foundation instead of toward the basement. Trenches for a new water line, power to a shed, or a drain to carry roof water away also come up on homes this age.
A standard Roy lot is also a good fit for an in-ground trampoline. The hole is dug, the frame is set flush with the lawn, and the yard is graded back around it, which looks cleaner and is easier to get on and off than a frame standing above the grass. Spring books up, so getting the trampoline on the schedule early is the best way to have it ready for summer.
