Paver patios, concrete, walkways, fire features and outdoor kitchens for Lehi yards, with a base built for the ground under your house, clay flats or gravel bench.

“I will definitely use you again for any future landscaping needs.”
Hardscaping and Concrete in Lehi
A patio in Lehi is only as good as what is under it, and the ground changes a lot across town. Down by Thanksgiving Point and Holbrook Farms, the soil is heavy Lake Bonneville clay. It swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and our winters freeze and thaw it over and over. Pavers or concrete set on a thin base over that clay will rock, crack or tip within a few seasons.
Up on Traverse Mountain it is the opposite problem. The soil is gravel and rock that drains fast, which is good, but a lot of those lots were built up with fill to make a flat pad for the house. Fill that was never compacted keeps settling for years. If a slab or paver patio goes down on it without a check, the edge by the slope is the part that drops first.
So we dig before we price. Jackson looks at the soil, the slope and where the water goes, then we size the base for that spot. On clay that usually means digging out more and putting down more compacted road base. On the bench it means finding firm ground under the fill. Then we build the patio, kitchen or fire pit you actually want on top of it.
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
On the Lehi flats, clay holds water and moves. Add the freeze-thaw cycles we get every winter and a slab poured on a thin base will crack, while pavers start to roll. A sprinkler running next to the patio all summer makes it worse, because it keeps the clay under the edge soaked.
On a newer Lehi house, the dirt right along the foundation was dug out and pushed back in when the home went up. It is loose. A patio or walk set on it often sinks along the house, which tips water back toward your basement instead of away from it.
Lehi sits right below the Point of the Mountain and gets real wind, especially on open lots with no big trees yet. A gas fire pit in the wrong spot blows out or throws flame sideways. Where you put a fire feature matters as much as how it looks.
Many Lehi subdivisions have an HOA that wants to see hardscape plans, colors or materials before you build. Skipping that step can mean a letter later, or tearing out new work. It is easy to handle up front and a real pain to fix after.
The J&H approach
We dig out deeper on clay and lay compacted road base in lifts, so the patio rides on a stiff layer instead of the clay. On bench fill, we probe for soft spots first and compact or replace them. Pavers get a real edge restraint so the border does not creep.
Every patio gets a slight fall away from the house. We move sprinkler heads that would soak the edge, and on clay lots we add a drain or dry well when water has nowhere to go. Dry clay under a patio is clay that stays put.
Before we set a fire pit or kitchen, we watch how wind moves across your lot and where the house blocks it. We tuck gas features behind a seat wall when we can, and we help with the HOA paperwork so it gets approved the first time.
