Landscape Design in Pleasant Grove

Designing a yard for Pleasant Grove ground and water

A design that looks great on paper can fall apart in Pleasant Grove if it ignores the dirt and the water. Bench lots below Grove Creek and Battle Creek slope and drain fast. Valley-floor lots sit on slow clay. And every yard in town waters on days assigned by house number, with no watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A real plan starts there, not with a plant list.

So our designs start with grade and water. Where does the rain go, where are the flat spaces, and how many sprinkler zones fit inside your allowed watering window? Then we place the patio, the fire pit, the lawn and the beds around those answers. On a bench lot we look hard at the view of Timpanogos. On a valley lot, drainage and privacy usually lead.

After that, our own crew builds it. Nobody hands your plan to a stranger who has never stood in your yard. Jackson and the team have finished 200+ projects across Utah County, and the yards that age well are the ones where design and build stayed in one set of hands. We can build it all at once or in phases, with a written number for each phase.

Pleasant Grove's bench lots sit on the alluvial fans below Grove Creek and Battle Creek, the exact ground built by debris coming out of the canyons, so how a yard grades and drains is the whole game.

The Pleasant Grove challenges

What a Pleasant Grove design has to solve

Two kinds of ground in one town

Pleasant Grove has old canyon-fan soil on the bench and fine lakebed clay on the valley floor. Base depths, drainage and plants that work in one fail in the other. A design copied out of a catalog has no idea which one you have. We dig and look before we draw.

Watering days shape the plant list

With assigned days by house number and no watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., you get a fixed window to water the whole yard. A big lawn plus thirsty beds may not all fit. We size zones and pick plants so the whole yard gets what it needs inside that window.

Slope that eats usable space

On the Battle Creek and Grove Creek bench, a backyard can be mostly hill. Without terracing you get a strip of patio and a slope nobody walks on. We design walls and steps that turn the hill into flat outdoor rooms, with planting on the shelves between them.

A plan the budget cannot build

A drawing is useless if it costs more than you can spend. Because we build what we draw, we price while we design. You see a number for each part and decide what goes in now and what waits a year.

The J&H approach

How we design and build in one pass

1 How we handle it

Walk the lot together

We start in your yard, not at a desk. We look at the slope, the soil, the sun, the view and how your family actually uses the space. We note your watering day and the zones you have now. Then we sketch.

2 How we handle it

One plan, priced as we go

The plan covers grading, walls, hardscape, sprinklers, lighting and planting in one drawing, with a price next to each piece. You can move things around until the plan and the budget agree, before a single shovel hits the ground.

3 How we handle it

Built by the people who drew it

Our own crew builds the plan, so the person who knows why the drain goes there is on site when it goes in. If the ground surprises us, and on the bench it sometimes does, we adjust on the spot and tell you why.

"Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life. We had them do a retaining wall, grading, underground trampoline, sprinkler system, and sod. They met deadlines, communication was on point, and the whole crew was friendly.…"

Pleasant Grove questions

Landscape Design in Pleasant Grove: what people ask

Do I have to build the whole design at once?
No. Plenty of Pleasant Grove homeowners build in two or three phases. We usually do grading, walls, drainage and sprinkler mainlines first, since those are hard to add later. Patios, planting and lighting can come in a later season.
Will the design work with Pleasant Grove's watering days?
Yes, it is built around them. You water on days assigned by house number and never from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. We count how many zones fit in your window and size the lawn and plant list to match, so nothing gets skipped in July.
What plants do well in Pleasant Grove?
Pleasant Grove is USDA zone 7a with alkaline soil. Plants that handle summer heat, spring cold snaps and high pH do best. We lean on native and adapted shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennials, and work compost into the beds instead of tilling the clay to mush.
Can you design around my Timp view?
Yes, and on a bench lot we almost always do. The patio, fire pit and seating face the mountain, and tall trees and pergolas stay off that line of sight. Privacy planting goes on the sides, where the neighbors are.

Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
