Home Ground in Ashley Valley

Ashley Valley takes its name from fur trader William H. Ashley, who floated the Green River in 1825. Settlers arrived along Ashley Creek in 1873, and Vernal itself was first called Ashley Center. Today the valley takes in Vernal, Naples, Maeser, and the farms and homes around them, all at about 5,300 feet.

Because this is our home base, we see how Ashley Valley ground behaves, from creekside lots that stay damp to drier ground up off the bottom. With roughly 20 inches of snow a year and winter lows around 10°F, good compaction and drainage are what keep foundations and driveways sound.
