Share Your Backyard Ideas and We Will Test it Out on Our 1-1/4 Acre Property

"Appreciated the level of attention and detail you paid to the construction of our shed. It was half the cost of other vendors and made custom to our needs. Look forward to working again with you in the future and will continue to recommend you to friends and acquaintance who ask me who built it."

Hey Just wanted to tell everyone that if you need a shed built, Mike Tveter is your guyt! He built a larger 12x20 barn style shed with a loft for me and did a excellent job.
Shows up on time, works hard all day and finished the job in 4 days and it was half the cost of a tuff shed.
Thanks Mike

Hiring Upper Valley Shed Builders was the best decision we could have made. Mike took great care of us and built us a shed that will last us forever. He went above and beyond and dug our yard out, leveled it, laid the concrete, and even used the extra concrete to fix my sidewalk. Mike is a very hard worker and we highly recommend him.
Thanks for building us an awesome shed that was affordable and of good quality. And thanks for building it fast!!

Hello, Mike. We were hoping for a well-built, custom-designed shed that didn't require a second mortgage. You've delivered on all accounts. Even with the design change after construction began you handled it well. Not sure how you did it all in such a short time. I've been recommending you to all who ask about it. Thanks, again for a great job.

If you need a shed-- Upper Vally Builders is the place to go! Mike was extremely courteous and professional the whole time while making the changes I requested on a 2x6 framed 12 x 20 barn shed, all while providing instant quote updates that reflected them Installation was fast and professional, even at the remote location the shed was being installed in eastern Utah. For the money the value can't be beat- I saved almost 1/3 over the other competition and got a shed that will stand up for MANY years to the snow loads where it is installed Thanks Mike!

2'x7' Garden Bridge

by Michael Tveter on 05/24/12

I have been so busy with work that I have not had time to catch up on all my back yard structures, but I have finally finished my garden bridge. I have noticed that many of the garden bridges sold on the internet does not have the ability to hold the weight of a full grown person, or it does not have lights. So I made a simple cute garden bridge that can hold up to 500lbs and it has lights on all four sides so add character to your yard at night.
I hope you all enjoy checking out our little garden bridge and let us know if there are any other ideas you can help us out with to make it better.

Our First three Projects

by Michael Tveter on 05/07/12

This week I will be building the bridge, a wishing well, and a backyard light house.
We are debating if I should use an electric hook up on light house, or have a candle inside. Let us know your thoughts on that.
We are also planning on making a small bridge that is about 4 feet long, but would any one recommend how high you would prefer railing, and how much detail you would like on the railing.
Third question is if we should use 100% cedar wood on the wishing well, I believe it will make a nice look it. Let us know what you think before we get stared.

Thanks a ton.

You don't have to gamble wasting money on your back yard ideas when you can test it out on our yard.
We have about an acre of yard space to play with and we are getting excited to work with those that would like to share their thoughts and ideas on how to make an eye catching backyard.
