Fencing, Decks and Pergolas in Pleasant Grove
If your Pleasant Grove patio faces west, you already know the late-day summer sun. It comes in low over Utah Lake right when you want to sit outside, and it bakes the pavers. A pergola or covered deck in the right spot fixes that. Put it in the wrong spot and it blocks the view you bought the house for, the face of Mount Timpanogos to the east.
Fences have their own fight here. On the bench below Battle Creek and Grove Creek, a fence line runs downhill, so panels have to step or rack to follow the grade without gaps under them, and post holes hit canyon rock. Down on the flats, posts sit in clay that swells and freezes. A post set too shallow gets pushed up a little every winter until the whole line wanders.
We build in cedar, vinyl, metal and composite, and we set every post for the ground it is in. Pergola and deck posts get real footings, sized for snow and for the wind that comes down out of the canyons. Fence height and placement have city rules, and some neighborhoods add an HOA, so we check those for your lot before we order material.
Pleasant Grove's bench lots sit on the alluvial fans below Grove Creek and Battle Creek, the exact ground built by debris coming out of the canyons, so how a yard grades and drains is the whole game.

The Pleasant Grove challenges
Valley-floor clay in Pleasant Grove holds water, and when it freezes it lifts anything set shallow. That is how fence lines go wavy and gates stop latching. We dig below frost depth and set posts in concrete with gravel under them, so water drains away from the bottom of the post.
Bench lots drop toward the valley, so a side-yard fence runs downhill. Straight panels leave triangles of open space underneath where the dog gets out. We step the panels or rack them to follow the grade, and close the gaps at the bottom so the line looks clean from the street.
Wind coming out of the canyons above Pleasant Grove can catch a pergola or a solid fence like a sail. Light posts on shallow footings rack and loosen within a season or two. We size posts, beams and footings for wind and snow, and use louvers or spaced slats where a solid roof would catch too much air.
Fence height, corner sight lines and setbacks are set by the city, and some neighborhoods have an HOA on top. A deck built high off the ground may need a permit. We check the current Pleasant Grove rules for your address and build to them, so nobody is tearing out panels later.
The J&H approach
We stand in your yard and look at where the sun sits at 5 p.m. in July and where your Timp view is. The pergola goes where it blocks the first and frames the second. A few feet one way or the other changes how much you use it.
Clay or canyon rock, every post gets a footing that suits it. On the bench we break through cobbles to full depth. On the flats we drain the bottom of the hole. Deck posts land on poured footings sized for the load they carry.
Sun at this elevation is strong, and it fades and checks cheap wood fast. We help you pick cedar, vinyl, aluminum or composite based on how much upkeep you want, and we seal or stain wood before it has a chance to go gray.
