One whole-yard design and build plan for American Fork homes, drawn around your soil, your watering days and the way your family really uses the yard.
“They listened to what I wanted done even mid-job.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Landscape Design in American Fork
A lot of American Fork yards were built a piece at a time. A patio here, a few shrubs there, a lawn that got bigger every year. The trouble shows up when you add the next piece and have to cut through sprinkler lines or pull up last year's work. A whole-yard plan fixes that. You decide what goes where once, then build it in the order that makes sense.
The plan has to fit how water works here. American Fork runs its own pressurized irrigation from April 15 to October 15, and the city has put meters on the connections and is phasing in a tiered rate based on lot size and use. That makes a big thirsty lawn cost more as the years go by. We put lawn where kids and dogs actually play and use drip and tougher plants in the rest.
Then the ground. A yard on the lakebed silt of the flat west side needs different base work and drainage than a lot on the higher ground toward the canyon, where the soil turns rocky. We walk the lot, dig where we need to, and draw the yard for the dirt you have. Jackson goes over the design with you before anything gets priced line by line.
American Fork sits at the foot of Timpanogos where the river comes out of the canyon, so one town runs from soft lakebed silt that ponds and settles on the flats to boulder ground at the canyon mouth, all watered on the city's metered PI schedule.

The American Fork challenges
When the patio, lawn and sprinklers are each done by a different crew, nothing lines up. Pipe ends up right under the spot where you want the fire pit. We plan sleeves, power and drainage for every phase, even the ones you build later.
With metered water and tiered rates on the way, the biggest lawn on the street can turn into the biggest water bill. We size the lawn for how you use it and put the rest into beds, rock and drip zones.
Lakebed silt on the flats holds water and settles. Fan gravel and boulders near the canyon drain fast. A plant list or base depth copied from one side of town can fail on the other, so we design for your lot.
American Fork is on the Utah Water Savers list for lawn replacement rebates, but work cannot start before the program's pre-inspection. Rip the lawn out first and you can lose the rebate. We set the build schedule around that inspection date.
The J&H approach
Jackson walks the yard with you. We measure, check sun and shade, and dig a test hole or two. You tell us how you live outside, and that gives us real facts to draw from.
We draw the whole yard, then price it in clear pieces. If you want to build over two seasons, we set the order so phase two never tears up phase one. You see the cost of each phase before you commit to any of it.
Grading and drainage go first, then sprinkler mains and sleeves, then hardscape, then lawn and plants. That order keeps finished work from getting dug back up, and it means the crew is never driving a loader across new sod.
