We take bare new-build Lehi lots to finished front and back yards, with real topsoil over builder subsoil, sprinklers on secondary water and the HOA deadline in view.
“They installed our backyard in a new construction home we bought this summer, and they helped us get exactly what we wanted within our budget.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
New-Construction Landscaping in Lehi
Lehi has seen a huge amount of new building, from the Silicon Slopes corridor to the new streets around Holbrook Farms and Ivory Ridge. If you just closed on one of those homes, you probably got a bare dirt lot and a letter from the HOA giving you a set window to finish the front yard. That clock starts on move-in day, not the day you find a landscaper. Half your street is usually racing the same date.
The dirt you have is mostly what came out of your basement hole. It is packed hard by trucks and usually heavy clay on the flats. On Traverse Mountain, it is often rocky fill on a slope. Neither one is ready for sod. Getting a new yard to last means fixing that ground before anything green goes on it. Skipping that step is the most common mistake we see on new lots.
Timing matters in Lehi too. Secondary water only runs from April 15 to October 15, and new sod needs steady water for a few weeks while it roots. A lawn laid in late October can sit until spring with no secondary water to keep it alive. We plan your install so the lawn goes in while the water is on.
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
Many Lehi subdivisions require front yards finished within a set window after move-in, and some include the back. Missing it can mean fines. Rushing it can mean skipped prep and a lawn that struggles. Both cost you, just at different times.
Heavy equipment packs the ground on a new lot hard. Roots cannot push through it, and water runs off instead of in. Sod laid straight onto it looks green for a few weeks, then struggles every summer after. Breaking that layer up first is the fix.
The builder rough grades the lot, but sod, beds and patios change those levels. Window wells end up too low, or a side yard holds water. The final grade has to be set again once the landscape plan is known.
New homes on the bench often come with a steep back slope. Making it usable can mean walls and terraces, and slopes of 10 percent or more fall under Lehi's hillside rules. That takes planning, and sometimes permit time, before anything gets built.
The J&H approach
We draw the whole yard but can build the front first to meet your HOA date, then finish the back. Sprinkler mains, sleeves and drainage for the back get stubbed in during phase one so nothing has to be dug up later.
We loosen the compacted ground, then bring in screened topsoil and spread it to grade. On clay we mix the line so water moves down instead of sitting. This one step decides if your lawn thrives or limps along.
We tie into your secondary connection, zone for sun, shade and slope and set a schedule for new sod. Then we show you how to cut it back once the lawn roots, since Lehi meters secondary water now.
