Whole-yard landscape design for Provo homes, drawn and built by the same team, so the plan fits the clay, the slope and the secondary water before anything gets dug.
“Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life.”
“I will be using them for all of my landscape needs, a pleasure to work with!”
Landscape Design in Provo
Most Provo yards we redo were never designed. They grew one project at a time: a patio one summer, a shed the next, sprinklers patched around both. The result is a yard where water runs toward the house, the lawn has dry arcs all over it, and nothing quite connects. One plan for the whole yard fixes that, because every piece gets placed with the others in mind, including the parts you cannot see.
A plan in Provo has to start with the ground. A Riverbottoms lot near the Provo River is flat, heavy clay with water close to the surface. An Edgemont lot is gravel and slope. The plant list, the drainage and even where the patio sits change with that. So does the water. The secondary system shuts off around mid-October and comes back around mid-April, so anything planted late in the season needs a plan for water after the shutoff.
We have built more than 200 projects across Utah County, and the ones that hold up best were designed by the crew that built them. Jackson and the team draw your plan, price it in writing, and then build it ourselves. There is no handoff between a designer who has never set a paver and an installer who never saw the drawings until the morning of the dig.
Provo runs from the Utah Lake flats up to the Rock Canyon bench, so one side of town is heavy clay and the other is gravel, and the yard has to be built for the ground it actually sits on.

The Provo challenges
Provo runs from the Utah Lake flats up to the Rock Canyon bench, with heavy alkaline clay down low and gravel and rock up high. A design that works great on one can fail on the other. We plan the soil prep, plant choices and drainage for the ground your house actually sits on.
Provo sits in zone 6b to 7a, and the last spring frost can run into the second week of May. Designs heavy on tender plants or warm-climate picks look great on paper and die in the first cold snap of May. We plant for this valley, not for a catalog shot in California.
Most Provo yards water off secondary, which runs roughly mid-April to mid-October on dates the provider sets. A good design groups plants by how much water they need, so each zone runs as long as it should and no longer. That matters more as every secondary connection in Utah gets metered by 2030.
Provo's soil runs a pH around 7.5 to 8.2. Plants that want acid soil yellow out here no matter how much you feed them. Gambel oak, Utah serviceberry, Apache plume and Rocky Mountain penstemon do well because they grew up in this ground.
The J&H approach
Jackson comes out, walks the lot with you, and asks how you want to use it. Kids, dogs, big family dinners, a court, a quiet corner. We check the slope, the soil, where water goes now, and where the sun sits on a summer evening.
You get a full-yard plan with hardscape, grading, walls, planting, lighting and sprinklers laid out together. We price it in writing, and we can phase it so you build part this year and the rest later without redoing anything.
The team that drew the plan builds it, so questions on site get answered on site. If a buried boulder or an old utility line changes something once we dig, we adjust the plan and tell you before the work moves forward.
