Masonry Contractor in West Valley City, UT
West Valley City grew from farm communities into one of the valley's largest suburbs. We repair and build brick, block and stone work across the city, and can help you sort out when a wall or grade change needs city review.
From farm towns to postwar suburbs
Utah's State Historic Preservation Office traces West Valley City to the agricultural communities of Hunter, Granger and Chesterfield, and to the postwar suburban development that followed (Utah SHPO).
Because the city developed over many decades, the masonry varies a lot from one neighborhood to the next. Before recommending a repair, we look at how and when your wall was built.
Grade changes and retaining walls
West Valley City's code has specific rules for grade changes near property lines. Within its scope, a difference of more than 18 inches, or a slope steeper than 2:1, within three feet of a property line needs an approved retaining solution. Retaining walls with more than four feet of grade difference need a building permit, with plans approved by the City Engineer and Building Official (Municipal Code §7-2-116).
If you are planning a wall near a fence line, check those rules before design starts. Our retaining walls page covers how walls are built to last.

West Valley City Masonry FAQs
If the wall retains more than four feet of grade difference in residential or commercial development, the city requires a building permit and approved plans. Smaller grade changes near a property line can still need an approved retaining solution (§7-2-116). Confirm your situation with the city.
Where the line actually is, any easements, how much the grade changes, and where water will go. The city's grade change section also includes drainage review.
Usually closely. Matching depends on the brick size, color and whether salvaged brick is available; see masonry and brick repair.
