A plain guide to hiring a landscaping company in Lindon, where big former-orchard lots, Marina clay and bench slopes each call for a different kind of crew.
“My yard looks better than I imagined, and several neighbors have already asked who did it.”
“I will be using them for all of my landscape needs, a pleasure to work with!”
Best Landscaping Companies
Lindon calls itself a little bit of country, and you can see it in the lots. Many are bigger than what you find in most of the valley, some on old orchard ground with room for a garden or a shop. That extra room is great. It also means more dirt to move, more pipe to lay and more places for a crew to cut a corner you will not notice until next summer.
The ground changes a lot from west to east. Down near the Lindon Marina, it is heavy lakebed clay that drains slowly. The old orchard flats through the middle of town tend to have better soil. Up on the bench under Timpanogos, the soil is coarser, the lots slope and some sit in the city's Foothills and Canyons Overlay Zone. A good landscaper knows which one you live on before quoting.
Here is what we would tell a neighbor who asked how to pick a company in Lindon. It covers what to look for, the shortcuts we keep running into and the questions that sort the good bids from the rest. At the end, we show how J&H measures up, with numbers you can check on your own.
What to look for
On a big Lindon lot, a bid that only covers the patio area leaves the rest of the yard as a question mark. Ask for a plan for the whole property, even if you build it in stages, so sprinkler mains and grades make sense from fence to fence.
Big yards drink a lot of water. Lindon's secondary system runs roughly late April to early October and is metered now. Ask how the crew will split zones for lawn, garden and beds, and how they keep spray off fences and drives. Long runs on one zone waste a lot.
Old orchard lots can hide stumps, old irrigation pipe and ditches that were filled in long ago. Ask the company how they handle what turns up when they dig. A good one leaves a little room in the budget and tells you up front how changes get priced.
In Lindon, a wall over 4 feet needs a permit and a design from a licensed engineer, and front-yard walls top out at 4 feet. Ask if the company knows those rules without looking them up. If they have to guess, they have not built many walls here.
What goes wrong in Lindon
We see big Lindon lawns watered by a few long zones that never had a chance. The far corners go brown while the middle stays soggy. Owners turn up the run time to save the brown spots, and the metered bill climbs every month.
Near the lake, clay holds water and packs hard. Laying sod on it without loosening the ground and adding topsoil means shallow roots and puddles after every storm. The lawn looks fine for a few weeks, then thins out by the first hot stretch.
On the Lindon bench, water moves fast downhill. A crew that shapes a yard by eye can send snowmelt toward a window well or into the neighbor's yard. Grading on a slope needs real measurements, and any wall over 4 feet needs an engineer.
