Freshly planted trees and expanses of new sod are beginning to transform the grounds in front of the Teton River Idaho Temple. Crews planted trees earlier this month and, on September 21, laid sod around them, establishing the first elements of the temple’s future landscaping. Work on the grounds is progressing alongside construction of the temple and other buildings planned for the 16.6-acre property, including a stake center.

Crews are pouring the final curbing around the parking areas at the Lehi Utah Temple site, bringing the property closer to receiving its first layer of asphalt. The paving will establish access and staging areas in preparation for construction of the meetinghouse and temple. At the front of the property, forms are being removed from a large retaining wall that will support a future viewing area overlooking the valley and Utah Lake.
