Landscaping in Alpine

Big Alpine lots, real hillsides

Alpine sits on the slopes of the Wasatch north of Highland and American Fork, with Lone Peak right over town. Lots here run big, zoned at 20,000 and 40,000 square feet across much of town and five acres on the mountain edge. That room is why so many Alpine yards end up with a big patio, an outdoor kitchen, a court or a terraced garden.

The ground asks a lot of all of it. Many lots slope, and taller walls need a design by a Utah-licensed engineer. Above 5,350 feet, the city's Sensitive Lands hillside rules add reports and limits on grading. Water comes off the city's own pressurized secondary system, now metered and billed in tiers, with odd and even days and night-only hours.

We plan for the hill, the water and the code from the first walk, so the yard you pay for is the yard that lasts.

Alpine sits at an elevation of about 5,049 feet on the slopes of the Wasatch below Lone Peak, runs its own metered pressurized irrigation fed in part by Dry Creek and Fort Creek, and lots above 5,350 feet fall under the city's Sensitive Lands hillside rules.

What Alpine yards deal with

The local problems, and how we handle them

Engineered walls on the bench

Flat ground in Alpine often means a wall. Taller walls need a permit, soil numbers and a stamped design, and terraces seen from the street have planting rules. We bring in the engineer early and build to the plan.

Metered water on a big lot

Alpine's secondary water is billed in tiers against your lot size, with a much smaller allowance in spring and fall. We zone the sprinklers, use drip on beds and terraces, and set the schedule for the season.

Fire and deer on the hillside

The 2012 Quail Fire forced evacuations in Alpine Cove and Box Elder Cove, and deer come down into bench yards when the snow gets deep. We keep the area near the house lean and pick plants and fencing that hold up.

Wall, hillside and landscape rules come from the Alpine City Development Code, and parts of it have been amended in recent years. We confirm current requirements with Alpine City on every job.

Planting that lasts here

Planting for a later spring

Alpine sits around 5,000 feet, and the last frost often comes in May, later than down in the valley. The maps put most of town around zone 7a, and the upper benches can run colder. We hold tender plants until the frost has passed and lean on tough natives like serviceberry, chokecherry and Gambel oak up high.

New landscaping in Alpine has lawn limits: lawn capped at 35 percent of the landscaped area, at least 8 feet wide, and kept off slopes over 25 percent. We confirm current rules with the city, then put lawn where you will use it and fill the rest with planting, rock and stone.

Neighborhoods we work

All over Alpine

We work across Alpine: Lambert Park, Heritage Hills, Box Elder, Alpine Cove, Three Falls, the Ridge at Alpine, Fort Canyon, Round Mountain and the historic town center around Moyle Park.

Flat town-center lot or steep bench lot near open space, the first step is the same. Jackson walks your yard and puts a clear price in writing.

"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.…"

Alpine questions

What Alpine homeowners ask us

Does a retaining wall in Alpine need a permit?
Taller ones, yes. Walls around 4 feet and up generally need a permit and a design by a Utah-licensed engineer, backed by soil testing. Tiered and visible walls have extra rules. We check every wall with the Alpine City Building Department before we build.
When does secondary water run in Alpine?
It usually comes on around mid-April and shuts off around mid-October. It is metered and billed in tiers. Odd addresses water Monday, Wednesday and Friday, even addresses Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and watering is 7 pm to 7 am only.
My lot is above 5,350 feet. What changes?
Your lot likely sits in Alpine's hillside protection area under the Sensitive Lands rules. Grading takes more planning, with soils and geology reports, a drainage plan and a planting plan. We design inside those limits and check the details with the city.
How do I make my Alpine yard safer from wildfire?
Start close to the house. The Lone Peak Fire District asks owners to clear dead material and keep fuel down near the home, out to 100 feet or the property line. We use stone, lawn and spaced planting near the house and save denser natives for farther out.
