We landscape Pleasant Grove yards from the valley floor up onto the bench below Grove Creek and Battle Creek. The foothill lots here sit on old canyon fans, so slope, grading and drainage are the whole game.

“I will be using them for all of my landscape needs, a pleasure to work with!”
Landscaping in Pleasant Grove
Pleasant Grove climbs off the valley floor at about 4,623 feet onto the bench below Mount Timpanogos, where Grove Creek and Battle Creek come out of the canyons. Those foothill lots sit on alluvial fans, the exact ground built by debris coming down the canyons, so how a yard grades and drains is not a detail here, it is the point. The city even runs debris-basin dams above town to catch it.
Down on the valley floor, the soil is fine Lake Bonneville silt and clay that drains slowly, which matters for hardscape base prep and drainage. And the whole town runs on secondary (pressurized) irrigation with fixed watering days, a May 1 start and an early-October shutoff.
We build for that: grade the lot to move water the right way, prep the base so nothing settles, and set the sprinklers to the city's schedule.
Pleasant Grove sits at an elevation of about 4,623 feet on alluvial fans below Grove Creek and Battle Creek, where debris-flow risk and drainage drive how a bench lot is graded.
What Pleasant Grove yards deal with
On the bench below Grove and Battle Creek, lots sit on old canyon fans and slope. We grade to move water away from the house, build retaining and terracing where the lot needs it, and put drainage behind every wall.
Down on the flats, the ground is fine Lake Bonneville silt and clay that drains slowly. We prep and compact the base under patios and walls so they stay flat instead of settling in that clay.
Pleasant Grove runs pressurized irrigation with assigned watering days, no watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., a start around May 1 and a shutoff around October 9. We set your system up to match, and winterize it before it drains.
Retaining walls over 4 feet need a Pleasant Grove building permit, and hillside lots with average slope over 15 percent trigger sensitive-lands review and a land disturbance permit. We confirm current requirements with the city on every job.
Planting that lasts here
Pleasant Grove runs USDA hardiness zone 7a with alkaline soil and a frost-free season from roughly late April to mid-October. We plant things adapted to this ground and amend the clay with compost rather than tilling it, so the yard fills in and holds.
On a bench lot, watering is about control: the slope wants a cycle-and-soak schedule so the water soaks in instead of running down the hill. We zone and set the system so the whole yard gets even coverage on the city's watering days.
Neighborhoods we work
We build across Pleasant Grove: the Grove Creek and Battle Creek foothills, the Timpanogos bench, Little Mountain and the G hill, and the downtown and Strawberry Days district on the valley floor.
Foothill or flat, the first step is the same: we come look at your ground and give you an honest number in writing.
