Fencing, Decks and Pergolas in Lindon

Fences and shade on Lindon ground

On a bigger Lindon lot, a fence is not a weekend project. A former-orchard parcel can have a lot of property line, and every foot of it adds up in posts, panels and labor. The material you pick matters more here than on a small subdivision lot, because the difference in price per foot gets multiplied across the whole run.

Up on the Lindon bench, under the Timpanogos foothills, the reasons for a fence shift. Deer come down off the mountain, mostly in fall and winter, and they will eat a new garden or young trees down to the stem. A fence there has to be tall enough to keep them out, and it often runs up and down a slope.

Decks and pergolas follow the same idea. On the bench, a deck makes a sloped yard usable and frames the view. On the flats, a pergola puts shade back where old orchard trees came out and never got replaced. We build all of it with deep posts and the right hardware, and we check the city rules before the first hole is dug.

Lindon still has that little-bit-of-country feel, which usually means bigger former-orchard lots, more yard to design and water, and old ag ground to work around.

The Lindon challenges

What Lindon asks of a fence or deck

Long runs add up fast

On a big Lindon lot, a small choice like post spacing or panel style changes the total price a lot. Cheap material that fails early also costs more to replace when there is that much of it. We help you pick a fence that fits the budget over its whole life, not just on install day.

Deer on the bench

Foothill deer browse through Lindon's bench yards, mostly in the colder months. A standard 6 foot fence slows them, but a garden or young orchard may need a taller or open deer fence. Getting it right is what keeps new plantings alive.

Clay that moves posts

Near the Marina, wet clay freezes around fence and deck posts and lifts them a little each winter. After a few years the fence waves and gates sag. Posts set too shallow, or set in plain dirt, are the usual cause.

Front-yard and height limits

Lindon has rules on how tall fences and walls can be, especially in front yards. A fence that is too tall near the street can bring a notice from the city. We confirm requirements with Lindon Building and Inspection before we set posts.

The J&H approach

How we build fences, decks and pergolas in Lindon

1 How we handle it

Material chosen for the run

For long runs, we price vinyl, wood, metal and ranch-style rail side by side and show you the full number. Many Lindon owners mix styles: privacy near the patio, open rail or wire along the back of the lot where the view matters more.

2 How we handle it

Posts set for frost and clay

We dig below frost, add gravel at the bottom for drainage and set posts in concrete. Gate posts go heavier. On slopes we step or rake the panels so the fence follows the ground without leaving gaps a deer can slip under.

3 How we handle it

Decks and pergolas where they pay off

We place decks to catch the view on bench lots and pergolas where the afternoon sun hits hardest on the flats. Decks and attached structures often need permits, and we confirm those with the city before we build.

"Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life. We had them do a retaining wall, grading, underground trampoline, sprinkler system, and sod. They met deadlines, communication was on point, and the whole crew was friendly.…"

Lindon questions

Fencing, Decks and Pergolas in Lindon: what people ask

What fence keeps deer out in Lindon?
Deer can clear a short fence, so a garden or young orchard on the bench usually needs a taller fence or an open deer fence. For the main yard, a solid 6 foot privacy fence keeps most of them out. We look at how deer move across your lot before we suggest one.
Do I need a permit for a fence or deck in Lindon?
Fence height has limits, especially in front yards, and decks usually need a permit when they are raised or attached to the house. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements with Lindon Building and Inspection for your project before any work starts.
Can a pergola replace the shade from old orchard trees?
It can help a lot. A pergola with a slatted or louvered roof cuts strong afternoon sun, and a climbing vine fills in over a few seasons. We often pair a pergola with new shade trees, so the yard has shade now and even more later.
