Fences, decks, pergolas and shade for Springville yards, with posts set right in east-bench cobble or west-side clay and plans sent through the city before we build.
“They installed a concrete patio and pathway, decking, mulch beds, fencing, sprinklers, sod, etc…It is quality work all around!”
“I will definitely use you again for any future landscaping needs.”
Fencing, Decks and Pergolas in Springville
Every fence, deck and pergola starts with holes in the ground, and Springville ground comes in two very different kinds. On the west fields and along Hobble Creek it is heavy lakebed clay that grabs a post and pushes it with frost. On the east bench the auger hits cobble and boulders a foot down, and a crew without the right tools ends up with shallow holes and short posts.
Springville also asks for paperwork. Fence and wall plans have to be submitted to and approved by Community Development, with a site plan showing location, height and materials, before anything goes up. A deck or a pergola with a roof may also need a building permit. Bench lots in the Hillside Overlay have their own fence rules, including taller wrought-iron styles on some large lots.
We handle both sides of that. We bring the right equipment to drill through cobble, set posts below the frost depth, and build deck and pergola footings that do not move. We draw the site plan, submit it, and keep the approval with your job. On the bench, we also plan for deer, the air coming off Hobble Creek Canyon, and the view you bought the lot for.
Springville, Art City, spreads from about 4,400 feet by Utah Lake up past 5,600 feet on the east bench, so a west-side clay yard and a bench view-lot are different soil, drainage and frost worlds, and one quote does not fit both.

The Springville challenges
East-bench lots, from Little Rock Canyon down to East Hobble Creek, sit on fan soil packed with river rock. A regular auger stalls on it. Crews in a hurry set posts at whatever depth they reached. Those posts lean or lift within a few winters.
West-side clay swells when wet and grips a post as it freezes. Over several winters it can lift a post an inch or more, and the fence line goes wavy. Gates bind and stop latching first, which is usually when the call comes in.
Springville requires fence plans to be approved before construction, with a site plan and a review fee. A fence built without approval can draw a stop order or a tear-out. Height rules also change by zone, and bench lots in the Hillside Overlay play by somewhat different rules.
Up on the bench, deer come down off the Wasatch in winter and browse anything soft. A tall solid deer fence that blocks the valley view is not what most people want. Getting both, the view and the protection, takes careful style and placement.
The J&H approach
On bench lots we bring rock augers and a mini excavator so every post reaches full depth, cobble or not. On clay lots we flare the bottom of the hole and use enough concrete to resist frost lift. Deck footings get the same care.
We draw the site plan with location, height and materials, submit it to Springville Community Development, and wait for approval before we order material. For decks and roofed pergolas, we confirm current permit requirements with the city too.
Bench pergolas get poured footings and heavy steel brackets, sized for the canyon air. For deer, we use open styles like wrought iron or wire panels where they are allowed, so you keep the protection and the view.
