Whole-yard landscape design and build for Alpine homes. One plan that fits the view, the slope, the lawn rules, the metered water and the deer, built by one crew.

Landscape Design in Alpine
Alpine lots are big, and a big lot built one piece at a time rarely hangs together. A patio goes in one year, a court the next, then a wall to hold up the court, and the sprinklers get patched around all of it. A design-build plan puts the whole yard on paper first: where you sit, where you play, where water goes, what gets lawn and what does not. Then it gets built in the right order.
Alpine's rules shape that plan. For new landscaping, the city caps lawn at 35 percent of the landscaped area, wants lawn areas at least 8 feet wide, and allows none on slopes steeper than 25 percent. Water comes off the city's pressurized secondary system, metered and billed in tiers against your lot size. Those rules have been updated recently, so we check the current version with Alpine City before a design is final.
Then there is the hill itself. Deer browse the bench in winter. Lots near the mountain edge sit next to wildland, and the Quail Fire in 2012 showed what that means. A good Alpine plan keeps lawn and stone close to the house, puts tougher natives like serviceberry and chokecherry farther out with room between them, and frames the view of Lone Peak instead of planting over it.
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
Older Alpine yards often have big lawns from the ditch-water days. New landscaping now runs into the 35 percent lawn cap and the ban on lawn over steep slopes. A plan that ignores that can get flagged, and it costs more to water on a tiered bill.
On a big lot, every add-on needs power, water and drainage. Without a plan, the court lights need a trench through the new patio and the kitchen gas line goes under fresh sod. You end up paying to dig the same yard twice.
Garden-center favorites can get stripped on the bench by February. Deer are less fond of tough natives, though none are deer-proof in a hard winter. Plant picks have to match the deer pressure where your lot actually sits, high on the bench or down in town.
Thick shrubs and bark right against the walls look soft, but near open hillside they give a fire a way in. The fire district's guidance is to keep the zone closest to the house clear of dead material. That belongs in the plan, not after it.
The J&H approach
Jackson walks the yard with you and looks at the slope, the view, the sun and where water runs. We sketch the whole yard, then price it by phase, so you know the full number and what comes first.
Near the house we use lawn, stone and low plants that carry less fuel. Farther out, drip-watered natives and rock. Each area gets its own irrigation zone, so the meter shows what each part of the yard really uses.
Our crew does the grading, walls, hardscape, sprinklers and planting. Nothing gets handed off between three companies who blame each other. The order of work follows the plan, so finished areas do not get torn up later.
