When an Alpine yard has failed, we tear it out, fix the grading, drainage and walls underneath, and rebuild it so the same problems do not come back.
“The job was completed quickly without sacrificing quality, and the results exceeded our expectations.”

Backyard Rebuild in Alpine
Some yards cannot be fixed one piece at a time. The wall at the back is leaning. Snowmelt runs toward the house every spring. The lawn is patchy, the sprinklers are a maze of old repairs, and the beds are overgrown with dry brush right up against the siding. In Alpine, where lots slope and winters are long, those problems feed each other. A rebuild starts underneath, with grade and water.
We tear out what is failing and look at what caused it. Often it is a wall built with no drain behind it, a yard that was never graded away from the house, or fill that kept settling. On lots near the mountain edge, the ground itself may be on the city's hazard maps, which changes what can be cut or built. Then we rebuild the yard on a base that will hold.
A rebuild is also the moment to bring an older Alpine yard up to how the town works now. Water now runs through a meter. New yards face a cap on lawn. The fire district wants the area near the house kept clear of dead brush. We fold all of that in, so the rebuilt yard costs less to run and is safer on the hill.
Alpine is the big-lot town on the mountain edge under Lone Peak, where engineered walls, metered secondary water, deer on the bench and the memory of the 2012 Quail Fire all shape what a yard can be.

The Alpine challenges
Most leaning walls we tear out had no drain rock or pipe behind them. Snowmelt soaked the backfill, froze, and pushed. A failing wall that holds up a slope or a neighbor's yard needs a real fix, and taller replacements need an engineer.
Over the years, beds get built up, paths settle and the yard tips back toward the foundation. On a sloped Alpine lot, a lot of spring melt comes down the hill. If the grade does not carry it around the house, it finds the window wells.
Shrubs planted when the house was new are now thick and woody, often with dead wood inside. Near open hillside, that is fuel right against the house. After the Quail Fire, a rebuild is a good time to thin, remove and replant with space between.
Patios laid on thin base or loose fill sink and crack after enough Alpine winters. Patching the cracks does not last. The base has to come out and go back in right, with the pitch set so water runs off the surface.
The J&H approach
We look at how water moves across your lot, what the walls are holding, and where the base failed. Then we fix the cause, not only the symptom you can see from the patio. Otherwise the same crack comes back.
We regrade the yard away from the house, add drains or swales where the ground needs them, and rebuild walls with drain rock and pipe. Taller walls get an engineer and a permit, as Alpine requires.
New sprinkler zones sized for metered water, planting that fits the lawn limits, and a clear zone around the house. You end up with a yard that looks finished and does not fight you every spring.
