Masonry Contractor in Herriman, UT
Herriman publishes clear retaining wall requirements, including engineering and easement rules. We build and repair walls, stonework and brick across the city.
Herriman's retaining wall rules
Herriman requires a permit for walls retaining four feet or more of unbalanced fill, and for shorter walls that carry a surcharge. Applications need a site plan and an engineered design stamped by a Utah licensed geotechnical engineer (Herriman Retaining Wall).
Rock retaining walls are not allowed in the front public utility easement, and drainage has to stay on the lot or use an approved easement or public way.
Terrain, soils and groundwater
The Utah Geological Survey's Special Study 163 covers part of Herriman in the Tickville Spring quadrangle. It documents terrain, soil and groundwater hazards that vary across the study area, including collapsible and expansive soils, shallow groundwater and slope hazards (UGS Special Study 163).
It is a planning scale study. It does not classify individual homes, but it does point to site specific assessment, which is exactly what a stamped wall design provides.
