We landscape Mapleton yards up on the east bench under Maple Mountain. Mapleton runs bigger and more rural than its neighbors, so the yards are larger, the lots slope, and the deer come down in winter.

Landscaping in Mapleton

Mapleton is big-lot country

Mapleton sits higher on the east bench at about 4,748 feet, under Maple Mountain and away from the freeway, which keeps it rural. Lots here run large, from a third of an acre up to a couple of acres, and plenty are horse property, so there is a lot more yard to design, grade, irrigate and keep alive than a typical valley subdivision.

The bench ground is gravelly alluvial-fan soil that slopes toward the mountain, so grading, terracing and retaining walls come up a lot, and steep ground has real limits: Mapleton protects land with 30 percent or greater slope. Pressurized irrigation here runs mid-April to mid-October. And the deer come down out of the foothills in winter and browse whatever you planted.

We plan a big Mapleton yard as one piece: grade it right, water it efficiently, and plant it so the deer leave most of it alone.

Mapleton sits at an elevation of about 4,748 feet under Maple Mountain; ground with 30% slope or steeper is protected under the CE-1 zone, and secondary irrigation runs mid-April to mid-October.

What Mapleton yards deal with

The local problems, and how we handle them

A lot of yard to design

Mapleton lots run big, some of them horse property. We design the whole space so it works together, zone the irrigation so the far corners actually get water, and build it in a sequence that keeps a large project on schedule.

Bench slope and grading

The east bench slopes on gravelly fan soil, and Mapleton tightly limits work on ground with 30 percent or greater slope. We grade for drainage, build terracing and retaining where the lot needs it, and keep the work to code.

Deer out of the foothills

Mapleton's foothill deer move down in winter and eat ornamental shrubs and trees. We plant more of what deer tend to leave alone and can build proper deer fencing where it matters, so the planting survives its first winter.

Hillside and sensitive-lands rules come from Mapleton City Code (Title 18, including the CE-1 Critical Environment Zone). We confirm current requirements, including retaining-wall permits, with Mapleton Community Development on every job.

Planting that lasts here

Built for zone 6b and hungry deer

Mapleton runs USDA hardiness zone 6b to 7a, a touch cooler up on the bench, with alkaline soil. We plant things adapted to this ground and, because the deer come down in winter, we lean on plants they tend to pass over and amend the soil so what we do plant roots in fast.

On a big lot, efficient watering is real money. The gravelly bench soil drains faster than valley clay, so the schedule and zoning are set for that, and winterized around Mapleton's mid-October irrigation shutoff.

Neighborhoods we work

All over Mapleton

We build across Mapleton: the east bench and foothills under Maple Mountain and Maple Canyon, the larger lots and horse properties, and down toward Hobble Creek and the Spanish Fork River.

Big lot or small, the first step is the same: we come look at your ground and give you an honest number 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.…"

Mapleton questions

What Mapleton homeowners ask us

Do you handle large and horse-property lots in Mapleton?
Yes, that is a lot of our Mapleton work. Bigger lots mean more design, more irrigation zones and a build sequence that keeps a large project moving. We plan the whole yard so it works together instead of in pieces.
Can you grade a sloped bench lot in Mapleton?
Yes. The east bench slopes on gravelly fan soil, and Mapleton limits work on ground with 30 percent or greater slope. We grade for drainage, build terracing and retaining where needed, and confirm current permit requirements with the city.
The deer eat everything I plant. What can you do?
We plant more of what Mapleton's foothill deer tend to leave alone, and we can build proper deer fencing where it is worth it. It is a real issue here in winter, and it changes the plant list.
When does secondary water turn on and off in Mapleton?
Mapleton's pressurized irrigation is available roughly mid-April to mid-October. We design your system for that window and winterize it before the fall shutoff.
