New construction landscaping for Alpine homes, from a raw bench lot to a finished yard, built to the city's lawn limits, hillside rules and any HOA dates.
“I use them for all of my new residential and commercial landscaping projects.”
“I will be using them for all of my landscape needs, a pleasure to work with!”
New-Construction Landscaping in Alpine
A new Alpine home usually comes with a yard that is part construction site and part hillside. The builder has cut the pad, piled the extra dirt somewhere and left a slope that may or may not drain away from the house. On the upper benches, the city's Sensitive Lands hillside rules may already have shaped what could be built. Now the yard has to be planned inside those same lines.
Alpine's landscape rules apply to new yards. Lawn is capped at 35 percent of the landscaped area, has to be at least 8 feet wide, and stays off slopes over 25 percent and out of park strips. Park strips get rock, drip and plants instead. Lots above 5,350 feet usually need a planting plan as part of the hillside rules. We confirm current rules with Alpine City and your HOA, if you have one.
Then there are dates. If your HOA or builder has set a date for the front yard, we plan around it. We finish the front first when needed, with sprinkler mains run to the back so the second phase does not tear up the first. And we set the whole system up for Alpine's metered secondary water from day one, so the first bill is not a shock.
Alpine is the big-lot town on the mountain edge under Lone Peak, where engineered walls, metered secondary water, deer on the bench and the memory of the 2012 Quail Fire all shape what a yard can be.

The Alpine challenges
The ground next to a new foundation is backfill, and it settles. A patio or walk poured on it too soon can drop and crack. We compact it, let it settle where we can, and pitch the grade away from the house.
Grading for the house strips the hillside of its plants. Until something takes root, rain and melt cut little gullies down the slope. On the bench that dirt ends up in the street or the neighbor's yard, so planting and erosion control come early.
Plans drawn for a valley lot often put lawn on a steep bank or in a narrow strip. Alpine's rules keep lawn off slopes over 25 percent and out of strips narrower than 8 feet. Catching that before the sod order saves money.
New homes near the mountain edge sit right next to open hillside. Leaving native brush up against a new house is risky. The Lone Peak Fire District asks owners to manage up to 100 feet around the house, or to the property line if that comes first.
The J&H approach
We check your lot against the hillside rules, the lawn limits and any HOA requirements before we draw. Then the design fits the first time, and nobody is redrawing a plan the city sends back.
We set final grade, build any walls, and run sprinkler mains, drains and conduit before topsoil and planting. That order protects the finished work, saves digging later, and keeps the house dry from its very first spring.
If there is a deadline, we finish the front yard first and leave clean tie-ins for the back. You meet the date without paying to rip anything out when the backyard goes in later that year or the next.
What homeowners say
