River sand in every seam after a week on the Weber. Gone. Moved a visit from my phone in about a minute.

GoogleBetween the lake and the Wasatch, the detail comes to Farmington's driveways.
Farmington is the county seat, bounded by the Wasatch on the east and the Great Salt Lake on the west, with the pioneer townsite and the Rock Church on Main Street, Lagoon just east of I-15, and North Station growing west of the tracks toward Shepard Lane. Farmington Canyon Road leaves the east side for Skyline Drive, The Farm bike park sits on the East Bench above the Upper Farmington Pond lot, and the city plows about 180 lane miles with 9 trucks. A Fresh Tracks professional does the detail in Farmington right where the vehicle is parked, at home or at work, and the monthly plan keeps the visits coming.

Farmington has been the Davis County seat since 1852, and Utah's first courthouse was built here in 1854 to 55.
In Farmington the canyons send the dirt down and the lake blows it in.
The city salts its hills and may not sand them, UDOT brines I-15, US-89 and Legacy Parkway, the canyons send debris in spring and gravel dust in summer, and the Shade Tree Districts drop their leaves in fall.
Winter
Salt on the city's hills and intersections, because Farmington spreads two kinds and is not allowed to use sand or grit, and in a cold snap it just sits there, since salt works poorly below 20 degrees. UDOT's brine and salt cover I-15, US-89 and Legacy Parkway, and from November 15 through February the car, the trailer and the boat all stand in the driveway overnight, since nothing may park on the street from 1 to 7 a.m.
Spring
Debris and flood water out of the canyons, which the city has fought since the flash floods of the 1920s and 1930s and again in 1984 and still holds back with debris basins, and metal-laden dust off the Great Salt Lake's exposed bed on a windy day, with the lake on the city's west line.
Summer
Chain lube and trail grit on the tailgate after The Farm's downhill trails on the East Bench, gravel dust from Farmington Canyon Road and Skyline Drive on the way to Bountiful Peak, and bait, a wet net and goose droppings after a day at Farmington Pond.
Fall
Leaves on State Street and Main Street, the city's two Shade Tree Districts, where the city picks them up when it can; the canyon road's winter camping closure begins November 1 and the street parking ban November 15, so by the first storms the truck is home in the driveway overnight.
