Whole-yard landscape design for Orem homes, planned around culinary water costs and heavy bench clay, then built by the same team that drew it.
“They listened to what I wanted done even mid-job.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Landscape Design in Orem
In most Utah County towns, the cost of watering a lawn is a footnote. In Orem it is part of the design. Orem runs no secondary irrigation, so every sprinkler zone uses treated culinary water on a tiered rate. A yard that is three-quarters lawn on a few big zones lands in the top tier every July. A planned yard can look fuller and cost less to water at the same time.
That shapes the plan before anything else. Lawn goes where you actually use it, for the kids, the dog or a game of catch. Beds get grouped by how much water they need and run on drip. Patios, paths and a fire area take up space that used to be grass. The plants get picked for heavy, alkaline Lake Bonneville clay and a late-April last frost, not pulled from a catalog shot somewhere with real rain.
Then the same crew builds it. Jackson and the team walk your lot, draw one plan for the whole yard, price it in writing and build it ourselves. And if you have a view of Mount Timpanogos from the back patio, we plan the trees so you can still see the mountain in ten years instead of staring at a hedge you planted.
Orem is the one town around here with no secondary water, so the sprinkler design shows up on your culinary bill in a way it does not for the neighbors.

The Orem challenges
With no secondary system, a badly zoned yard costs real money every month of the season. Lawn and shrubs on the same valve means one of them is always overwatered. A plan groups plants by water need, so each zone runs only as long as it should.
Orem's soil runs alkaline, roughly pH 7.5 to 8.5, and drains slowly. Plants that want acid soil turn yellow from iron shortage, and clay that gets tilled seals right back up. We plan soil prep and the plant list for this exact ground.
Many Orem lots have mature shade trees and layouts from when the house was new. A new design has to work with root zones, shade patterns and any existing hardscape that is still worth keeping, instead of pretending the yard is blank.
East Orem, near Provo Canyon, gets evening gusts. West-side lots toward Lakeview and Geneva get long afternoon sun off the lake. Where the patio sits and where the shade goes depend on which side of town your house is on.
The J&H approach
Jackson walks the yard and asks how you use it. Where the kids play, where you eat outside, what you are tired of mowing and fixing. That shapes how much lawn stays and where the patio, beds and paths go.
We lay out hardscape, grading, planting, lighting and irrigation together. Irrigation is zoned by water need, with drip for beds and a smart controller, so the yard is built to use less culinary water from the first summer.
Our team builds what we design. If something changes in the dirt, like a buried line or an old footing, we adjust and tell you before moving on. You can also build in phases without redoing anything later.
