Masonry Contractor in Eagle Mountain - Retaining Walls and Walks for Newer Yards
Precision Lehi Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Lehi that builds retaining walls, block walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens in Eagle Mountain, and repairs brick, block and stone that's cracking or failing.
Eagle Mountain: newer homes, yards still in progress
Most of our calls out here come from people in newer subdivisions who've settled into the house and now want the yard finished. That usually means a wall where the lot drops off, a walk out to the side gate, or somewhere to cook out back. It's a different mix from what we see in Lehi or American Fork, where more of our time goes to older brick, chimneys and worn mortar joints.
Newer doesn't mean trouble-free, though. When a block wall cracks or a stone base starts pulling away on a young house, I want to know why before we touch it, and in a young yard the answer usually comes down to how the lot was graded and where the water runs.

Masonry contractor work in Eagle Mountain
Retaining wall construction
Where a lot steps up or down, a retaining wall holds the grade. We build ours on a packed base with drainage behind, so they stay straight.
Concrete block walls
Plenty of newer yards here end at a bare property line. Our concrete block walls give you privacy on a footing sized for the wall.
Walkway construction
New homes often leave bare dirt between the driveway and the back gate. We lay walkways on a packed base so they stay flat underfoot.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Backyards here often have room to cook outside. We build counters and grill surrounds in block, brick or stone, and plan for gas and power early.
Stone veneer installation
Many newer homes here have plain stucco fronts. We add stone veneer to columns and porch bases, with backing and flashing so water drains out.
Foundation block wall installation
Finishing a basement here sometimes means adding a walkout. We build the foundation block walls that frame the stairwell and the new opening.
Working in Eagle Mountain: permits, pricing and scheduling
Building permits here come from the city's Building Department, and it's their call which projects need one, so plan review and inspections can set the pace of a job before our crew ever starts. When your project needs a permit, we put in the application and book the inspections with the city, and I'll go over what your job calls for when I come out to look at it. For business licensing, the city points anyone starting a business in Eagle Mountain to its own licensing page, and we're licensed and insured. Price mostly comes down to the size of the wall or walk, the material you pick, how much digging and base work the spot needs, and how easily we can get a crew and materials into the yard. The schedule turns on the permit and how soon our crew can start.
Eagle Mountain is a short drive west from our base in Lehi, and since new streets and lots are still going in around many jobs, I check how we'll get the truck and materials to your yard before the first day. The same crew does this work across the valley, from Provo up into Sandy and Herriman, so the walls and walks we build here go up the same way they do there.

Eagle Mountain masonry questions
Does a retaining wall need a permit in Eagle Mountain?
A retaining wall over four feet high needs a building permit from Eagle Mountain City. For a shorter wall, ask the Building Department what applies to your yard before we plan it. When yours needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections.
How do I apply for a building permit in Eagle Mountain?
Planning and building applications go through the city's online OpenGov portal. Inspections, including concrete inspections, are scheduled by email once the permit is in place. When we're doing the work, we file the application and book those inspections for you.
How long does basement walkout plan review take in Eagle Mountain?
Typical review for basement plans in Eagle Mountain is 14 business days, with fees based on the square footage you're finishing. A walkout needs its own building permit and inspection, and if it creates an accessory dwelling unit, a separate living space in the house, the Planning Department has to approve it too. We line up the block work so it's ready to start once the permit is through.
Does an outdoor pool in Eagle Mountain need a fence?
Yes, outdoor pools in Eagle Mountain need a fence at least six feet high. If you'd like a block or brick wall around the pool instead of a panel fence, we'll check with the city that it can serve as that fence before we build it. The pool itself needs a permit if it's 24 inches deep or more, or has a filter, heater or lights.
How much does a retaining wall or block wall cost in Eagle Mountain?
The cost comes down to the wall's height and length, the block or stone you choose, and how much digging, base and drainage the spot needs. A retaining wall tall enough to need a permit adds that step, and a yard our crew can't reach easily adds labor. I'll walk your yard and give you a figure at the estimate.
What should I do before starting a masonry project in Eagle Mountain?
Find out which city requirements apply to your project before you buy materials or start work, because that's what the city asks homeowners to do. The Building Department will answer questions ahead of time, and its page lists the building codes the city has adopted, some with state amendments.
