Orem, Utah
Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.
Tell us about your yard. Jackson gets back to you fast.
We landscape Orem yards from the Provo Bench to the Timp foothills. Orem is a little different from its neighbors: there is no secondary water here, so how your sprinklers are designed shows up on your bill.
“Everyone was great at communicating, they cheerfully fixed areas that were not correct until they were, and they got everything done FAST.”
“We would absolutely hire this team again and recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping help.”
Landscaping in Orem
Orem sits at about 4,767 feet on the old Provo Bench between Utah Lake and Mount Timpanogos. The soil is the same heavy Lake Bonneville clay as the rest of the valley, alkaline and slow to drain, so patios and walls that skip the base prep settle and heave within a few winters.
The thing outsiders miss: Orem does not run a secondary (pressurized) irrigation system the way Lehi, Lindon and Pleasant Grove do. Every drop on your lawn is treated culinary water on a tiered rate, so a lawn that waters heavy in July gets expensive fast. We design the sprinklers and pick the plants so the yard looks full without running the meter into the top tier.
Build for that ground and that water bill on purpose, and an Orem yard holds up and stays affordable. Skip it, and you pay for it twice.
Orem sits at an elevation of about 4,767 feet on the old Provo Bench, and unlike its neighbors it runs no secondary irrigation, so every drop is metered culinary water.
What Orem yards deal with
Orem's Lake Bonneville clay is alkaline and drains slowly, so it heaves patios and pavers with every freeze and thaw. We prep and compact the sub-base for the clay before any hardscape goes down, so it stays flat.
Orem waters with culinary water on a tiered rate, not cheap secondary water. We lay out efficient zones and set smart controllers so the lawn stays green without pushing your bill into the top tier.
High-pH soil ties up iron and turns the wrong trees and shrubs yellow. We amend the clay with compost instead of tilling it, and plant things that actually like Orem soil.
Permit rules come from Orem City Building Safety. In Orem a retaining wall 4 feet or taller (from grade) needs a building permit, and we confirm current requirements with the city on every job.
Planting that lasts here
Orem runs USDA hardiness zone 6b to 7a with a last frost in late April, so tender plants wait and the rest of the yard can go in earlier. We lean on plants adapted to this alkaline valley instead of whatever is on the rack, and amend the clay with compost rather than tilling it into a brick.
On the lawn, the clay wants a cycle-and-soak schedule so the water soaks in instead of running off. On culinary water, that efficiency is the difference between a reasonable summer bill and a painful one.
Neighborhoods we work
We build across Orem: Sharon, Cascade, Lakeview, Geneva, Suncrest, Northridge, Cherry Hill, Canyon View and up onto the Timpanogos bench along the Provo Canyon edge.
Whether it is a flat lot near the lake or a sloped one up on the foothills, the first step is the same: we come look at your ground and give you an honest number in writing.
