Lehi's own published building standards call for a 43 psf ground snow load and a 30 psf roof snow load, higher than many valley-floor cities. That number drives beam sizing, joist spacing, post dimensions and connection hardware, and we size for it rather than a generic span table.
Lehi is designated Seismic Design Category D2, one of Utah's higher seismic categories. That means hold-downs, anchorage and positive connections throughout the frame aren't optional details — they're what the city's own standard requires.
Lehi has grown fast, and many newer subdivisions, including large master-planned communities like Traverse Mountain, review roof pitch, colors, materials and visibility from neighboring lots before the city ever sees your plans. Smaller lots in newer subdivisions also mean setbacks and rear-yard space deserve a careful look early, not after materials are ordered.
Lehi's standards call for a minimum 30-inch frost depth. Footings placed above that line can heave and push deck posts out of level as the ground freezes and thaws, so we place ours below it every time.
Sourced from Lehi City's published building standards. Confirm current permit and HOA requirements with Lehi City and your community before building.
Cost depends on size, material, railings, stairs and how the deck attaches to your home, so we price each one after we see your yard. Utah requires a permit for any deck attached to the house, or a freestanding deck over 30 inches above grade — and a guardrail once it crosses that height. If you're in an HOA community, architectural approval usually comes before the city permit. Rules change, so confirm with Lehi City and your HOA before you build.

Start My Project
Working with Joey and his team at 3sixtyindustries was a great experience. They were honest, fair, and extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. They did such a great job. I have no complaints about anything. We love our new deck—highly recommend!
Crus and Joey built a beautiful deck for us! We were tired of our small, wood steps that attracted wasps. We contacted them and they were able to expand our space to be a place for us to enjoy time with our dogs and enjoy being outside! I am so happy with the work they’ve done! Communication was great and they were very respectful of our space and other belongings. I highly recommend them if you need a deck!
Our deck is amazing! They were wonderful and patient guys to work with. Totally recommend!
I was nervous at first to redo my deck but it looks amazing thank you so so much!!
They completed a framing job for me on an addition to our home. Their pricing was very competitive and they offered great service. They were honest and got the job done that was needed. Very happy with their work and timelines. Would recommend
Amazing product and amazing service. They made sure my yard was 100% cleaned everyday best affordable product around.
These guys are awesome! Repaired my old water damaged deck, and gave it a fresh new look with trex and a new composite railing. Very happy with the end result, would absolutely hire them again.
Most deck projects take two to six weeks from footing excavation to the final walkthrough, depending on size, permitting and weather.
Utah requires a building permit for any deck attached to your home, or for a freestanding deck more than 30 inches above grade. Once a deck crosses that height, it also needs a guardrail at least 36 inches tall. Lehi's own standards also set a 43 psf ground snow load, Seismic Design Category D2, and a 30-inch minimum frost depth, which shape the structural plans we submit.
Deck cost depends heavily on size, decking material and features like railings, stairs and lighting, so we price each project after seeing your yard. Visit our deck builds page for what's included, or ask for a free, itemized quote.
Wood costs less upfront but needs regular staining or sealing to handle Utah's sun and snow. As a rough range, new composite decking often runs $65 to $95+ per square foot installed, while natural wood lands closer to $45 to $65, depending on design, stairs and railings. Composite resists fading, warping and moisture damage far better over time.
Often, yes. Many Lehi communities, including large master-planned neighborhoods like Traverse Mountain, review roof pitch, materials, colors and visibility before the city permit is submitted. We help coordinate both approvals so you're not designing the same deck twice.
