A full backyard remodel for your Highland home: patio, kitchen, fire, court, planting and lights, designed as one yard and built by one crew from start to finish.
“The craftsmanship of the pavers is absolutely stunning, every detail meticulously executed, transforming our outdoor space into a work of art.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Backyard Remodel in Highland
Many Highland homes were finished when the plan was simple: a big lawn, a few trees and a small concrete pad off the back door. Years later, the trees are big, the lawn is a lot to water and the pad feels tiny for how you live. A remodel takes that yard and makes it fit, with real places to cook, sit, play and get out of the sun.
In neighborhoods like Highland Country Club Estates and Highland Hills, the lots have room for a lot of ideas at once. The work is picking which ones go where. A patio by the kitchen door, a fire pit out under the old trees, a court out past the lawn, all tied together with paths and low lighting so the yard still feels like one place after dark.
A remodel also means working around what is already there. Mature trees with roots under the lawn, sprinkler lines nobody mapped, an old patio on a thin base. On the bench the soil can change from sand to silt in a few yards. We dig, test and plan around all of it, the same way we have on 200+ projects across Utah County.
Highland is the big-lot town on the bench above Lehi and American Fork, where many lots are an acre or close to it, courts and horse areas share the yard, deer browse the gardens and every retaining wall goes through the city first.

The Highland challenges
Old shade trees are one of the best things about an established Highland yard. Their roots run wide under the lawn. Trenching or pouring too close can kill a tree slowly over a few years. We lay out patios, walls and lines to stay clear of the main roots.
Many older systems were patched and added to over the years, with no map. Remodeling around one can mean broken lines and dry zones. We often replace the main lines and valves in the remodel area so the new yard starts with a system built for it.
With meters on Highland's pressurized irrigation and tiered billing coming, a wall-to-wall lawn costs more each year. A remodel is the right time to cut lawn back to where you use it and turn the rest into beds, rock or a court.
You still need the back door, the driveway and the dog run. We plan the order of work and the access route so a large job does not shut down your house for weeks. On a big lot we stage materials out of the way, too.
The J&H approach
Jackson walks the yard with you, and we draw one plan for all of it, with costs by area. You can build it all at once or in phases, and the lines and drains go in with the full plan in mind.
We mark trees, beds and hardscape you want to keep, fence off root zones and route equipment around them. Old work that will not last, like a cracked pad on a thin base, comes out.
Demo, grading, hardscape, sprinklers, planting and lighting are all handled by our team, so you have one schedule and one person to call. We walk the finished yard with you before we call it done.
