Fences, decks and pergolas for Lehi yards. Privacy on tight new-build lots, shade where no trees have grown in yet, and decks that make a sloped bench lot usable.

Fencing, Decks and Pergolas in Lehi
Most of Lehi was built in a hurry. Whole neighborhoods around Holbrook Farms, Ivory Ridge and the Silicon Slopes corridor went from fields to houses in a few years. That leaves a lot of backyards with no tall trees yet, neighbors close on three sides and full afternoon sun on the patio. A fence and a pergola do in one season what trees take a couple of decades to do.
Up on Traverse Mountain the needs change. Lots slope away from the house, so the best spot to sit is often out over the hill. A deck there gives you the view and a flat place to live. But posts and footings on a slope take more thought, and wind up high pushes hard on anything tall you put up, so the framing has to be braced for it.
We build fences, decks and pergolas with Lehi's ground in mind. Posts go below frost and get set for clay or gravel, whichever you have. Pergolas get placed for the sun angle your patio actually gets. And we check HOA rules and city requirements before we build, so the fence you pay for is the fence you keep. Nobody wants to pay to move a fence twice.
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
In the clay on the Lehi flats, water around a post freezes and grabs it. Each winter it can jack the post up a little. After a few years the fence line goes wavy and gates stop latching. Shallow posts set in plain dirt are the usual cause.
Lehi gets strong gusts coming past the Point of the Mountain. A solid 6 foot privacy fence acts like a sail, and a pergola with a solid roof can lift. Posts, spacing and fasteners all have to be sized for wind, not just for looks.
Many Lehi subdivisions set fence material, height and color, and some want approval first. A fence that does not match can bring a violation notice. It comes up a lot in newer neighborhoods where every house fences in the same year.
On a Traverse Mountain lot, a deck can stand tall on the downhill side. Footings on a slope, and on fill pushed out to build the house pad, need care. Decks usually need a building permit too, so we confirm requirements with Lehi before we start.
The J&H approach
We dig post holes below the frost line, put gravel at the bottom so water drains and set posts in concrete shaped to shed water. On clay we keep sprinklers from soaking the fence line. Gates get heavier posts so they stay square.
We size posts and spacing for Lehi gusts and pick fence styles that let some air through when the spot is exposed. Pergolas get louvers or open slats unless the frame is built to carry a solid roof. Hardware is rated for outdoor use, not the cheapest box.
On a treeless new-build lot, we look at where the afternoon sun hits your patio and set the pergola or shade sail to block it. Sometimes that means turning the pergola or adding a side screen. Small changes make the space usable in July.
