Santaquin, Utah
Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
Tell us about your project. Jackson gets back to you fast.
One plan for your whole Santaquin yard, drawn around your lot's soil, wind and short season, then built by the same J&H crew that designed it.
“Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life.”
“I will definitely use you again for any future landscaping needs.”
Landscape Design in Santaquin
Big Santaquin lots get built in pieces all the time. A patio one year, a fence the next, a lawn when the budget allows. The trouble is the pieces never quite fit together. The sprinkler main gets cut for the fire pit. The fence goes right where a court would have been perfect. A design-build plan puts it all on paper first, so every phase sets up the next one.
Our plans start with the ground. Santaquin yards run from old orchard clay on the flats to gravelly fan ground up on the bench. We note where water sits after a storm, where the summit wind comes from, and where the afternoon sun hits hardest. That decides where the patio goes, what you plant, and how the sprinkler zones get split.
Then the same crew builds it. You are not handing a drawing to someone who never walked your lot. Jackson and the J&H team design it, price it in writing and build it, all at once or phase by phase. We have 200+ projects across Utah County behind us, and the Santaquin plans always start with two questions: where does the wind come from, and how short is the season?
Santaquin sits up near 4,987 feet in Utah's cherry country, so the season runs a little shorter, the lots run bigger and more former-orchard, and the open summit position means real wind.

The Santaquin challenges
Santaquin's frost-free window is about 135 days, roughly mid-April to mid-October. A design that ignores that ends up with tender plants dying the first winter and big concrete jobs dragging into cold weather. The order you build things in matters almost as much as what you build.
A large former orchard lot can feel like a field once the house is done. Without a plan it turns into one huge lawn that costs a lot to water and takes hours to mow. Breaking it into spaces with a purpose takes thought before anyone starts digging.
On the summit, wind decides where you can sit comfortably, which plants make it, and how the sprinklers should be zoned. Ignore it and you get a patio nobody sits on after 4 p.m., ringed by shrubs that dry out and lean away from the gusts.
The J&H approach
We come out and look at your soil, slope, wind and views. We ask how you want to use the yard now and how that might change once the kids are older. Then we draw a plan that works for both.
If you want to build over a few seasons, we plan the order for you. Grading, drainage and sprinkler mains go in first, so later patios and planting do not tear them up. Each phase gets its own written price.
Santaquin is zone 6b, and it sits higher than most of the county. We choose trees, shrubs and grasses that handle the cold, the wind and the dry summer, and we group them by how much water they need.
