Landscape Installation
Landscape installation is where a bare lot or a tired yard becomes a finished outdoor space. We build new yards from builder-grade dirt and tear out and replace landscapes that have outlived their layout, drainage or sprinklers.
Every install begins with the unglamorous work that decides how the yard performs for years: grading so water runs away from the house, planning how people will move through the space, and noting sun, shade and how you plan to use each area. A low-maintenance front yard and a backyard built for kids and pets call for different decisions.
From there, a project can include almost anything outdoors — paver patios and walkways, driveway approaches, retaining walls to tame a slope, sprinkler and drip systems, landscape lighting, lawn areas, planting beds, decorative rock and edging. You can browse each service in the list on this page.
The difference between a landscape that lasts and one that needs fixing in two years is usually hidden: proper base material under pavers, correct compaction, consistent grades, good plant spacing and careful finish work. We don’t skip those steps to save a day.
Because one team handles the whole job, you’re not coordinating a sod company, a paver crew and an irrigation guy. We sequence the work so nothing gets torn up twice, and you have one point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final cleanup.
Our recent installs range from post-pool yards with curbing and lava rock beds to a full privacy remodel with mature trees, a cedar fence and lighting. See the projects below for real examples.
An installation can include
- Grading, drainage and soil prep
- Sod or artificial turf
- Paver patios, walkways and driveway approaches
- Retaining walls
- Sprinkler and drip irrigation
- Trees, shrubs and planting beds
- Decorative rock, mulch and concrete curbing
- Landscape lighting
How it works
Our Landscape Installation Process
A full install follows the same three stages whether it’s a small front yard or a complete backyard.
Walkthrough and project plan
We review grading, drainage, existing irrigation, sun and how you’ll use the space, then put together a plan for lawn, hardscape, planting and lighting with a clear timeline.
Prep, build and install
Most installs take several days depending on size. We prep the site, build hardscape first, then irrigation, planting, lawn and lighting so nothing gets disturbed twice.
Final walkthrough
We test sprinklers and lighting with you, clean up thoroughly, and go over how to care for new lawn and plants through the first season.
FAQ
Landscape Installation FAQs
What homeowners usually ask before a full landscape project.
What’s included in a landscape installation?
Whatever your plan calls for — typically grading and soil prep, irrigation, lawn or turf, planting beds, rock or mulch, and often hardscape like pavers or walls, plus lighting. We’ll spell out the scope in your estimate.
How long does a landscape installation take?
Most residential projects take several days. Larger yards or jobs with significant hardscape take longer. You’ll get a realistic timeline with your quote.
Can you help with the design?
Yes. We can design the yard with you before we build it, or work from a plan you already have.
Do you also install pavers, walls, sprinklers and lighting?
Yes — that’s the point of a single contractor. Hardscape, irrigation, lighting and planting are all handled by our crew in one coordinated project.
How do I know the landscape will last?
Longevity comes from what’s underneath: proper grading, compacted base under hardscape, correct sprinkler coverage and plants suited to Utah. We build every job as if it were our own yard.
How do I get started?
