Backyard Remodel in Mapleton
A big Mapleton lot gives a backyard remodel room most of the valley does not have. A pool, a patio, a lawn and a fire pit can all fit without crowding each other. The challenge is making it feel like one yard instead of five projects scattered across an acre, and keeping the rural feel that brought you to Mapleton in the first place.
We plan it from the house out. The main patio and kitchen sit close to the back door. The pool, fire feature and pergola step out from there, with paths that connect them. Planting fills the edges and frames the view toward Maple Mountain. Past that, the yard can soften into native planting or open ground that needs far less water and care.
The bench ground helps and hurts. Gravelly fan soil drains well under a pool deck and a patio, but it is full of cobbles, and on the upper lots it slopes. Mapleton protects ground at 30 percent slope or more, so features go where the lot can be shaped. Jackson walks the whole property with you and you get one written price for the remodel.
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
On a big lot, features end up far apart and the yard feels empty in between. We group the main spaces close to the house, connect them with real paths, and use trees and planting to make outdoor rooms that feel finished instead of scattered.
A fire pit out by the view or a pool house across the lawn needs gas, power and water carried a long way. Long runs cost more and need planning. We map every line and trench once, before hardscape, so nothing gets dug up later.
The new beds around a Mapleton remodel will get visits from mule deer every winter. Lose the first year's shrubs and the yard looks bare for years. We plant mostly deer-resistant choices in open beds and fence or wrap the plants deer love.
Digging a pool on the Mapleton bench means hauling out cobbles and boulders, and sometimes holding back the uphill side. Walls over 4 feet need a permit. We plan the dig, the walls and the drainage together, so the pool deck stays level and dry.
The J&H approach
We design the whole backyard even if you build it in phases. Spaces, paths, utility runs and irrigation zones all get set at once, so adding the pool in phase two does not mean tearing out phase one.
Grading, walls, the pool dig, drains and utility trenches come first. Then bases, patios, kitchens and fire features. Planting, sod and lighting come last, so the finished pieces never get driven over by a loader.
We pick plants for zone 6b to 7a, alkaline soil and winter deer, and put them on drip zones. Low-voltage lights on paths, walls and trees let you use the yard after dark and see its shape from the house.
