Landscaping, Concrete & Home Remodeling in Springville, Utah

Springville’s housing tells three stories. The core around Main Street is a National Register historic district with more than a thousand pre-1940 homes and a long tradition of basement apartments. The 1990s boom filled the east bench and the streets along Hobble Creek east of 1300 East with homes now due for their first big updates. And Westfields, annexed in 2003, holds most of the city’s 2000s construction — 44% of Springville homes were built since 2000 — including townhomes that often become rentals.

Water depends on which side of I-15 you live on. Springville owns both its culinary system and a pressurized-irrigation system built in 2016 that serves the west side, with tiered rates that reward using PI; the city’s plan is to connect the remaining west-side customers over the next decade. East-side yards mostly run on culinary water. Springville has not adopted the state’s landscape standards, so the state Flip Your Strip rebate isn’t available here — water-wise design still cuts the bill, it just doesn’t earn the check.

Springville requires a permit for every fence, with a $21 review: 4 ft in front, 6 ft on side and rear lines, sight triangles at 4 ft and half see-through, and a building permit above 6 ft or for retaining walls over 4 ft. Basement finishes are permitted under the 2021 IRC with footing, plumbing, four-way, insulation, drywall and final inspections, and an ADU certificate when the space becomes an apartment. The Cherry Fire that forced evacuations in Hobble Creek Canyon in October 2025 is why defensible space matters on the bench.
