Retaining Walls in Lehi, UT — Built to Hold Back Utah County Soil
If your yard slopes, floods, or your soil is sliding toward your foundation, a retaining wall can fix it for good.
Sloped yards and shifting clay soil cause real problems in Lehi and across Utah County. If you have a hill in your backyard that keeps losing dirt, or a slope that's pushing against your house, you need a wall that holds. Firm Foundation of Utah builds retaining walls that stand up to our freeze-thaw winters and spring runoff. We're a licensed, family-run crew, and we can get your project scheduled soon.
Our Work
When You Need a Retaining Wall
A lot of Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and Eagle Mountain lots are built on slopes. Over time, clay soil here swells and shrinks with the seasons, and that movement pushes dirt downhill. Signs you need a wall include dirt washing into your patio after rain, cracks forming in a slope, a fence leaning, or water pooling near your foundation. New-build neighborhoods often need walls put in before landscaping can even start. Waiting lets erosion get worse and can undermine a patio, driveway, or foundation nearby. The sooner a wall goes in, the less dirt and money you lose to erosion.
Our Retaining Wall Process
We start by looking at your slope, your soil, and what the wall needs to hold back. Then we dig a proper base, add drainage behind the wall so water doesn't build up and push it over, and build the wall up in courses, whether that's concrete block, poured concrete, or another material that fits your yard. Good drainage is the part a lot of walls skip, and it's the reason walls fail in Utah's wet springs. We clean up the site when we're done and walk you through the finished wall before we call the job complete. Most walls take a few days depending on size and soil conditions.
Retaining Wall Cost in Lehi
Retaining wall cost depends on the height of the wall, how long it runs, the soil conditions, and whether drainage work or extra excavation is needed. Taller walls and walls holding back more soil need more material and labor.
