Your dream yard. Done right. Done on time.

We landscape Spanish Fork yards from the river bottoms to the canyon-mouth benches. If you live here you already know the wind, and the wind is exactly why a yard has to be designed for this town, not a calmer one.
“My yard looks better than I imagined, and several neighbors have already asked who did it.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Landscaping in Spanish Fork
Spanish Fork has the biggest canyon airshed on the Wasatch Front, and cold air drains down out of Spanish Fork Canyon almost every night, steady and one direction, hard enough that Utah's first big wind farm sits at the canyon mouth. That wind is the single biggest thing an outside landscaper gets wrong here. It dries out lawns, blows sprinkler spray right off the target, and beats up plants that were never meant for it.
The ground is the usual mix: Lake Bonneville silt and river-bottom alluvium along the Spanish Fork River, so grading and drainage still matter for hardscape. And the city runs its own utilities, including pressurized irrigation that is generally on from April 15 to October 15, plus a free smart-controller program worth using.
We design a Spanish Fork yard around the wind: zone the water so it lands where it should, use drip where it makes sense, and plant things that can take a steady breeze.
Spanish Fork sits at an elevation of about 4,666 feet at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon, where the downslope wind is the design driver and secondary irrigation runs April 15 to October 15.
What Spanish Fork yards deal with
The nightly downslope wind dries out turf and blows sprinkler spray off target, so a standard layout leaves dry patches and wastes water. We zone the irrigation for wind, use drip where it fits, and time watering so the wind is not stealing it.
Plants picked for a calm yard get shredded here. We choose wind-tolerant trees, shrubs and grasses, and place them so they shelter the softer parts of the yard instead of taking the full brunt.
Along the Spanish Fork River the soil is alluvium and Lake Bonneville silt. We grade for drainage and prep the base under patios and walls so the hardscape stays flat and water moves away from the house.
Fences over 3 feet need a Spanish Fork permit, and retaining walls fall under the city's adopted building code. We confirm current requirements, including wall heights, with Spanish Fork Community Development on every job.
Planting that lasts here
Spanish Fork runs USDA hardiness zone 6b to 7a with a last frost around mid-April. The wind is the real design driver, so we lean on wind-tolerant, adapted plants and set them up to shelter the yard, and we amend the alkaline soil so they root in fast.
For watering, the city offers a free smart sprinkler controller, and it earns its keep here: paired with wind-aware zoning and drip, it keeps the yard green without throwing water into the breeze. We set it up as part of the install.
Neighborhoods we work
We build across Spanish Fork: the canyon mouth and benches under the wind park, the Spanish Fork River bottoms, and out toward Palmyra, Leland and Lake Shore.
Windy corner lot or sheltered river bottom, the first step is the same: we come look at your ground and give you an honest number in writing.
