A County Seat With Very Old Trees and Very New Ones

Farmington was settled by the Haight family in 1847 and incorporated on February 18, 1852, the same year the territorial legislature made it the Davis County seat. Tree Service in Farmington covers that whole span: big trees on the old blocks where residents built a defensive wall around the townsite in 1853, and young trees in subdivisions that helped the city grow from 18,275 people in 2010 to 24,531 in 2020.

Old blocks near the fort

The original walled townsite, known as the Fort, gave Farmington a compact grid of older homes. Trees on those lots tend to be large, long-established and close to houses, sheds and neighbors. Pruning there is often about clearance: lifting limbs off roofs, thinning out interior deadwood and taking weight off branches that hang over property lines. Removals usually come down in sections.

Newer neighborhoods

Newer homes around Station Park and on former farm ground have trees that are still small enough to train. Getting structure right early means a single central leader, branches spread out along the trunk instead of bunched at one height, and no tight forks. That kind of pruning is quick and inexpensive, and it prevents most of the splitting we see on older trees.

Snow and storms

Farmington averages about 22.25 inches of precipitation and 48.6 inches of snow a year. Wet spring snow on leafed-out trees is a common cause of broken limbs, and like the rest of the east-bench cities in Davis County, Farmington is exposed to strong canyon winds from the east. Trees that have been thinned and had weak limbs shortened ride those events out much better than dense, untouched crowns.

Trails, Lagoon and lots of open ground

The city's trail committee maintains about 146 miles of trails with 36 named routes, and Lagoon, founded in 1886, takes up about 100 acres. Homes that back onto trails or open space often have native growth creeping in from the edges. We can clear brush and volunteer trees on your side, raise limbs over paths, and leave a clean edge.

Homes and owners

Census figures put Farmington's owner-occupied rate at about 81 percent, with a median home value near $650,700 and about 3.4 people per household. Most of our Farmington work is planned maintenance rather than emergencies.

Farmington Questions

My older Farmington home has a huge tree over the roof. Do I have to remove it?

Not necessarily. If the trunk and main limbs are sound, reduction and clearance pruning can keep it off the roof for years. If there is decay, a crack or a lot of dead crown, removal may be the better choice. We'll show you what we see.

Can you clear brush where my yard backs onto a trail?

Yes, on your side of the property line. We clear volunteer trees and brush, raise limbs over the edge, and haul the material away. Work on trail land itself is up to whoever manages it.

When should young trees in a new subdivision be pruned?

Within the first few years and then every few years after. Late winter is a good time for most species. Early structural pruning takes little time and heads off problems that are expensive to fix later.

Can you work on trees near my property line with the neighbor?

Yes. You can generally prune limbs that hang over your side, but cutting so much that the neighbor's tree is harmed can cause disputes. We will talk through what is reasonable, and it is a good idea to let your neighbor know before the work.

How do you protect my lawn and landscaping during a removal?

We put down mats or plywood where heavy wood will land or equipment will travel, lower big pieces instead of dropping them on turf, and rake and blow the area clean. Anything that might be affected, like sprinkler heads or garden beds, we discuss before we start.
