Topsoil and Materials in Lehi
If you just moved into a new Lehi home, the dirt in your yard is probably not topsoil. Builders scrape the good layer, dig the basement, then spread what comes out of the hole. That is often compacted subsoil or raw clay. Sod laid on top of it roots an inch or two deep and browns out the first hot stretch in July. We see it on new streets every summer.
Across town the problem flips. On Traverse Mountain the native ground is gravel and rock. It drains fast, so water runs right past the roots and the lawn dries out between cycles. Both kinds of lot need good topsoil, but for different reasons and at different depths, and the wrong guess on either one shows up by August. On clay, topsoil gives roots somewhere to go. On gravel, it gives water somewhere to stay.
We bring in screened topsoil, landscape rock, bark mulch, fill and road base, and we spread it, not just dump it on the driveway. Before we order, we look at your lot and work out how much you actually need. Ordering short means a second delivery charge. Ordering way over means paying to haul the extra off. You get the price in writing before the first truck shows up.
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
Most Lehi new builds are left with packed subsoil that roots cannot get through. Rolling sod onto that looks fine for a month. Then the roots hit hardpan, water runs off instead of in, and you start fighting dry spots and a high bill on the metered secondary line.
On the Lehi flats, native clay holds water and seals up. Spread topsoil right on top and you create a layer where water stops and sits. We rip or till the clay first so the new soil and the old ground mix a bit at the line.
Up on Traverse Mountain, the ground is coarse and rocky. A thin layer of topsoil there dries out fast in summer. Beds and lawn areas need more depth and some compost so they hold water between sprinkler cycles. Skip that and you water more and still see brown.
On open Lehi lots with wind coming past the Point, light bark mulch can end up in the neighbor's yard after one storm. Heavier rock or a dense shredded mulch stays put. We pick the cover for how exposed your yard really is.
The J&H approach
We measure each area and set the depth by use: more for lawn and planting beds, less under rock. Then we order the right amount of each material, so you are not paying for a second load or a pile you never use.
We loosen compacted subsoil and clay before new topsoil goes down, and pull out big rock on the bench. For hardscape, we lay road base in thin lifts and compact each one so patios and walks stay flat.
On new-build streets we protect the curb and new sidewalk, since damage there often lands on the homeowner. Trucks park where you tell us, not across a neighbor's driveway. We spread to grade, rake it smooth and sweep the street before we leave.
