One design-build plan for your whole Woodland Hills yard, mapping the slope, septic field, water use, wildlife and fire zones before anything gets dug.

Landscape Design in Woodland Hills
Most Woodland Hills lots are big, often half an acre or more, and that is a lot of ground to plan piece by piece. People who build a patio one year, a wall the next and a lawn after that often end up tearing out the first job to fix the drainage for the third. One plan for the whole yard is how you avoid paying twice on a hillside lot.
A good plan here maps a lot of things before it shows a single plant. Where the septic tank and drain field are. Which way the slope sheds snowmelt. Which parts need walls, and whether any will top 4 feet. How the lot sits in the city's fire guide zones, from 0 to 5 feet off the house, 5 to 30 feet, and 30 to 100 feet and beyond. And how the yard gets watered, since every gallon here goes through a city meter.
Then comes the part you see. Views across Utah Valley toward Timpanogos, outdoor rooms cut into the slope, native maple and Gambel oak at the edges, and plants that deer and elk mostly leave alone. We draw it, price it in phases if you need to, and build it with our own crew, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a separate builder.
Woodland Hills rises about 1,200 feet from its lowest homes to its highest, most lots run on septic, every yard drinks metered city water and the whole town is treated as wildland-urban interface, so a yard here gets planned around slope, drain field and fire before anything else.

The Woodland Hills challenges
Woodland Hills does not run a secondary irrigation system, so lawns and beds drink the same metered water as your kitchen. The city's own General Plan says a 10,000 square foot bluegrass lawn uses about 250,000 gallons over a 25-week season, against 75,000 or less for native xeriscape.
Zone 6b, a last frost in mid to late May and long snow cover cut the plant list down fast. Then deer and elk prune whatever is left. A design that copies a valley plant list will look thin by its second summer up here.
The whole city is treated as wildland-urban interface. The General Plan's guide asks for no flammable plants in the first 5 feet, mowed grass and pruned trees from 5 to 30 feet, and thinned, well-spaced plantings beyond that. A good design builds those zones in from day one.
About three-fourths of the town is on septic, and an active fault trace crosses the city. Patios, walls, trees and deep roots have to stay off drain fields, and some lots need a natural hazard study before building. Those limits shape the layout more than taste does.
The J&H approach
Jackson walks the lot with you and marks the slope, the septic system, the views and where the snow drifts. We talk through how you want to use the yard, what you want to spend and what can wait for a later phase.
Lawn goes only where you will use it, beds get drip and slopes get native or deer-resistant plants. Stone and pavers go closest to the house, and the planting opens up the farther it gets from the walls.
Our crew builds the plan from grading to the last plant, in phases if that fits your budget. Walls, sprinklers and planting all follow one set of drawings, so nothing has to be torn out and redone later.
