When a Mapleton yard is past patching, we take it to dirt, clear the rock and old work, fix the grade and drainage, and build the whole yard back the right way.
“They leveled our yard and placed a pickleball court, patio, fire pit, and artificial grass. It looks great.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Backyard Rebuild in Mapleton
Some Mapleton yards are tired in ways a weekend cannot fix. The sprinklers were added onto for years and never cover right. A patio has sunk at one corner. A wall leans. Part of the lot was pasture once and is now packed dirt and weeds. On a property this size, fixing it one piece at a time never ends. A rebuild clears it and starts from the ground up.
The ground tells you why things failed. On the east bench the soil is gravel and cobble off Maple Mountain, and a patio or wall built on uneven rock without proper compaction settles in spots. Ground grazed by animals for years gets packed hard and stops taking water. And on a slope, water from the uphill side keeps running through the yard until someone gives it a path.
We tear out what failed, pick the rock, rip the packed ground, and set a new grade with drainage. Walls get rebuilt with drain rock and pipe. Then comes a new sprinkler system zoned for the size of the lot, new hardscape on a proper base, topsoil, lawn and planting that can stand up to the deer. One crew runs it from tear-out to the last plant.
Mapleton is big-lot country under Maple Mountain, a lot of it horse property, where the bench slopes on gravel fan soil and the deer come down out of the foothills in winter.

The Mapleton challenges
Ground that held horses or other animals for years gets compacted hard. Sod laid on top roots shallow and burns out in July. We rip the ground deep, pick out the rock, and blend in topsoil so the new lawn can root down.
Many big Mapleton systems grew zone by zone, with mixed heads and old pipe. Pressure is weak at the far end and nothing covers evenly. A rebuild is the time to start over with a layout sized for the property and the mid-April to mid-October water season.
On the bench, a base laid over cobbles without picking them out compacts unevenly, and patios crack or drop at one corner. Walls built without drain rock lean after a few freezes. We take them down to firm ground and rebuild them properly.
Some Mapleton lots run into steep ground protected under the city's CE-1 zone at 30 percent or more. A rebuild cannot bulldoze that slope flat. We rework the buildable part of the lot and hold the steep ground with deep-rooted planting instead.
The J&H approach
Before anything gets torn out, we walk the lot, test sprinkler pressure, check walls, look at where water goes, and dig a few holes. You get a plain list of what failed, why it failed, and what it costs to fix.
Old turf, failing hardscape, dead plants and broken pipe come out. We pick rock, rip the packed ground, and set a new grade with swales and drains that send water away from the house and outbuildings.
Walls and drainage first, then sprinkler mains and zones, then hardscape on a proper base, then topsoil, sod and planting. Each layer goes on top of a finished one, so the yard stays put for the long haul.
