Landscaping in Lehi

Two very different Lehi yards

Lehi has grown fast, and it shows in the yards. Down on the flats around Thanksgiving Point and Holbrook Farms, homes get handed over as bare dirt on heavy valley clay, often with an HOA clock ticking to get the front yard in. Up on Traverse Mountain, the lots slope and the soil turns to gravel and rock.

Both need a crew that knows the local rules. Lehi's secondary (pressurized) irrigation runs April 15 to October 15, so a system has to be designed for that window and blown out before it shuts off. On Traverse Mountain, any slope of 10 percent or more triggers the city's hillside rules, and a retaining wall over 4 feet needs an engineered permit.

We build for the lot you actually have, meet the HOA deadline, and keep the walls and grading on the right side of the code.

Lehi sits at an elevation of about 4,561 feet; its secondary irrigation runs April 15 to October 15, and hillside lots on the Traverse Mountain benches fall under Hillside Preservation Chapter 12-A.

What Lehi yards deal with

The local problems, and how we handle them

Bare new-build lots, on the clock

New Lehi homes come as bare dirt on heavy clay, and the HOA usually wants the front yard finished within a set window. We install full yards fast, without cutting the base prep that keeps them from settling.

Traverse Mountain slopes

On the benches, any slope of 10 percent or more falls under Lehi's Hillside Preservation rules, and a retaining wall over 4 feet needs engineered plans. We build the walls right, with drainage behind them, and keep the grading to code.

Secondary water, on a calendar

Lehi's pressurized irrigation runs April 15 to October 15 and is now metered. We set your system up for that window so it is not running dry lines, and winterize it before the shutoff.

Hillside and permit rules come from the Lehi Development Code (Chapters 12-A hillside, 12-B grading, 12-C retaining walls). We confirm current requirements with the city on every job.

Planting that lasts here

Built for zone 7a, and for new soil

Lehi runs USDA hardiness zone 6b to 7a. Down on the flats the soil is heavy alkaline clay; up on the benches it is gravelly and fast-draining, so the same plant list does not work across town. We match the planting and the soil prep to where your lot actually sits.

On a fresh construction lot, the dirt left behind is compacted subsoil, not topsoil. We bring in and spread good topsoil, amend the ground, and set a cycle-and-soak schedule so new sod takes instead of sitting on hardpan.

Neighborhoods we work

All over Lehi

We build across Lehi: Traverse Mountain, Thanksgiving Point, Holbrook Farms, Ivory Ridge, the Silicon Slopes corridor, and down toward the Jordan River and the Saratoga Springs line.

New build or established lot, flat or steep, the first step is the same: we come look at your ground and give you an honest number in writing.

"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.…"

Lehi questions

What Lehi homeowners ask us

Can you finish my yard before the HOA deadline?
Usually, yes. A lot of Lehi subdivisions require the front yard done within a set window after move-in. We install full yards efficiently, and we do not skip the base prep to hit a date, because a yard that settles is not really done.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Lehi?
In Lehi a retaining wall over 4 feet, measured from the bottom of the footing, needs a permit and an engineered design. On Traverse Mountain, slopes of 10 percent or more also fall under the city's Hillside Preservation rules. We handle both and confirm current requirements with the city.
When does secondary water turn on and off in Lehi?
Lehi's pressurized irrigation runs from April 15 to October 15, and it is now metered. We design your system for that window and winterize it before the fall shutoff.
The dirt on my new lot is terrible. Can you fix it?
Yes. New-build lots are usually compacted subsoil, not topsoil. We bring in good topsoil, spread and amend it, and set the yard up so the lawn and plants actually root and take.

Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
