What a whole-yard landscape designer should give you in Lindon, where big lots, old orchard ground and bench slopes all need a plan before anyone digs.
“Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Custom Landscape Designers
On a small lot, you can get away with a rough sketch. On a bigger Lindon lot, you cannot. There are too many choices. Where the lawn ends and the garden starts, how far the patio sits from the house, how water crosses the whole property. Without a plan, those choices get made one at a time by whoever happens to be building that week.
With design-build, one company handles both the drawing and the digging. That matters on Lindon ground. When a crew hits an old orchard stump or a buried ditch, a design-build team can adjust the plan on the spot and still keep the whole yard in mind. A drawing handed to a separate crew does not adjust itself.
This page walks through what a good Lindon yard plan includes, the design mistakes we fix most and how J&H runs design and build as one job. If you are planning in phases, or working around a slope on the bench, start here. Even if you never hire us, the list will help you judge any designer you talk to.
What to look for
Ask for a plan that covers every part of the lot, front to back and fence to fence. You may build only the back patio this year, but the plan should show where the garden, play lawn and paths go later, so this year's work fits.
Lindon slopes from the bench toward the lake, and even flat lots have a low side. The plan should show the high and low points and how water moves across. Near the Marina, it should show how water leaves clay that will not soak it up.
Plenty of Lindon lots look up at Timpanogos. A good designer marks where the views are and where the afternoon sun hits, then places the patio, shade and plantings around them. A pergola in the wrong spot can block the very view you bought the house for.
The plan should include the sprinkler layout, with lawn, garden and shrub beds on separate zones. Lindon meters secondary water, so mixed zones cost money all season. A layout on paper also helps you see what each phase needs.
What goes wrong in Lindon
Bench lots in Lindon's Foothills and Canyons Overlay Zone can face extra review for grading and building. A design drawn as if the lot sat on the flats may need changes once the city looks at it. Ask the designer if your lot is in the overlay.
Shade trees go in small and grow big. We see them planted right next to patios, sprinkler mains or the house, where roots and limbs cause trouble years later. A good plan places each tree for the size it will be, not the size it is at the nursery.
Lots of Lindon owners want a vegetable garden or fruit trees, which fits the town's orchard roots. When the plan skips drip lines and a separate zone, the garden ends up watered by lawn spray. That wastes water and splashes disease onto the leaves.
