Backyard Remodel in American Fork
Most backyard remodels in American Fork start with a yard that kind of works. The lawn is there, a small patio sits outside the back door and the sprinklers mostly run. What is missing is a place people want to spend a summer night. A remodel keeps what is good, takes out what is not and adds the patio, kitchen, fire pit or shade that makes the yard worth walking out to.
Older yards near the historic downtown come with big mature trees and older homes on roomy lots. That shade is worth saving, and it changes where a patio goes and what grows under it. Newer yards on the east side and around the Mount Timpanogos Temple sit higher, closer to the mountain front, and the dig there often turns up more rock. Each one needs a plan made for its own lot.
This is premium work, and we price it that way and say so up front. Jackson walks the yard, we draw the plan and you get a written price before anything starts. We build in the right order, grading and drainage first, then hardscape, then planting, so nothing gets torn up twice and the crew is not working around fresh sod.
American Fork sits at the foot of Timpanogos where the river comes out of the canyon, so one town runs from soft lakebed silt that ponds and settles on the flats to boulder ground at the canyon mouth, all watered on the city's metered PI schedule.

The American Fork challenges
Older American Fork yards have trees that took decades to grow. Digging a patio base through the root zone can kill one in a year or two. We set the patio edge back, bridge roots where we can and plan around the trees.
An older system was laid out for a yard that is about to change. Building a patio on top of old lines means leaks you cannot reach. We map the old system and reroute zones before the base goes in.
Many older patios here sank because they sat on a thin base over lakebed silt. We break out what failed, dig out the soft ground and rebuild on a compacted base that slopes away from the house, so the new patio does not follow the old one down.
Privacy walls, tall screens and some fences cross the 48-inch line, which means a plan and a permit in American Fork. Gas and power for a kitchen or fire feature need the right permits too. We take care of that before building.
The J&H approach
We look at the trees, the lawn, the old patio and the sprinkler system and tell you plainly what is worth saving. Keeping the good pieces puts more of your money into the parts you want to add.
You get a drawing of the whole yard and a written price broken into clear pieces. Change your mind on a feature and you see what it does to the total before we build a thing.
Grading, drainage and utilities go first, then hardscape, then sprinklers and planting. Your yard gets torn up once, not three times, and you end up with a clean, finished yard instead of a project that drags into next summer.
