Lehi, Utah
Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
Tell us about your project. Jackson gets back to you fast.
When a Lehi yard keeps failing, we take it down to dirt, fix the grading and drainage underneath, and rebuild the whole thing so it stops fighting you.
“They leveled our yard and placed a pickleball court, patio, fire pit, and artificial grass. It looks great.”
“We would absolutely hire this team again and recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping help.”
Backyard Rebuild in Lehi
Some yards cannot be fixed one piece at a time. The lawn has dead patches no matter how you water. The patio has sunk along the house. A low corner holds water every spring, and you have replaced the same sprinkler heads three times. In Lehi, that pattern almost always points to the ground under the yard, not the plants or parts on top of it.
On the clay flats, the usual cause is grading. The builder shaped the lot roughly, then sod went on top without anyone fixing it, so water collects instead of leaving. On Traverse Mountain, it is often fill that was never compacted, or a wall with no drainage that has started to lean. Either way, the top of the yard keeps paying for what is wrong underneath. We see both kinds every season, and the fix starts the same way: find the real cause before spending a dollar on the surface.
A rebuild means we strip it back to dirt. We regrade so water leaves the yard, fix or replace walls, put in a new sprinkler system sized for Lehi's metered secondary water and add real topsoil. Then we rebuild the patio, beds and lawn on ground that will finally hold them. It is a bigger job up front, and it is the last time you fix the same problem.
Lehi is two towns in one: bare new-build lots on clay down by Thanksgiving Point with an HOA clock ticking, and steep gravel benches up on Traverse Mountain that need engineered walls.

The Lehi challenges
Many Lehi yards were sodded right over compacted subsoil. The roots never went deep, so the lawn wilts in heat and wants water every day. On a metered line that gets expensive, and no amount of fertilizer fixes ground the roots cannot reach into.
Over the years, soil settles along the foundation and the slope reverses. On Lehi clay that water does not soak away. It sits against the house, and we see it in window wells and damp basement corners more often than people expect.
On Traverse Mountain, a wall built without drain rock or a footing starts to lean once water and frost get behind it. Rebuilding it right may push it over 4 feet from the bottom of the footing, which means a permit and engineered design in Lehi.
The J&H approach
We pull sod, old rock and failed hardscape, then study the bare ground. That is when soft fill, clay pockets and old pipe show up. The rebuild plan comes from what is actually there, not from what we assumed.
We regrade so water flows away from the house and off the lot. On clay we add drains or dry wells where needed. Failing walls get rebuilt with a proper base and drainage, and engineered and permitted when the height calls for it.
We rip the subsoil, bring in screened topsoil and install a new sprinkler system zoned for sun, shade and slope. Then the lawn, beds, patio and lighting go back in on ground that will not fight them.
