Landscape Design in Salt Lake City
Custom landscape design services that transform your outdoor space into something functional, beautiful, and built for Utah's semi-arid climate.
What's Included
- 3D design renderings so you see the result before we start
- Water-wise plant selection using the Localscapes method
- Grading and drainage planning for valley clay and bench slopes
- Hardscape integration (patios, walkways, walls)
- Irrigation system design included with every plan
- Phased installation options to fit your budget
Seasonal Note: Design can happen year-round. Spring and fall are ideal installation windows, and late spring frosts mean we hold tender plantings until mid-May. We avoid major installations during ground freeze (December through February).
Our Process
On-Site Consultation
We visit your property to assess the space, discuss your vision, measure the area, and evaluate soil, drainage, and sun conditions.
Concept Design
Our design team creates a detailed 3D rendering showing plant placement, hardscape elements, lighting, and the overall layout.
Design Review
We walk through the design together, make revisions, finalize plant selections, and confirm materials and budget.
Installation
Our crews build out the plan step by step, from grading and soil prep through final planting and mulching.

Absolutely. We design using Localscapes, Utah's own water-wise landscaping method, pairing a functional central open space with low-water planting beds and efficient irrigation zones. Many of our designs reduce outdoor water use by 40 to 60 percent, and we can structure park strips to qualify for Utah Water Savers 'Flip Your Strip' rebates.
Yes, we work with HOAs across the Salt Lake Valley regularly, including strict design-review communities like Daybreak in South Jordan.
