From bare dirt to a finished yard on new Eagle Mountain homes, built to the city's front and back yard deadlines, its water-wise rules and your HOA's guidelines.
“I needed grass before winter on my new build at the end of October and him and this guys made it happen.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
New-Construction Landscaping in Eagle Mountain
Eagle Mountain grew from about 21,000 people in 2010 to more than 43,000 in 2020, and new streets keep going in. If you just closed on one of those homes, you probably got a bare lot and a deadline. City code 17.60.100 says front yards must be landscaped within one year of your certificate of occupancy and back yards within two years, unless your project requires it sooner.
The park strip by the curb is on you too. City code says the owner landscapes it and keeps it up. New-development rules add more: the city limits how much lawn a new yard can have, wants beds on drip with weed barrier, and requires a smart irrigation controller on building permits issued since February 1, 2024. The city has also been reviewing its rear yard and artificial turf standards, so we confirm the current rules before we design.
We start with the dirt the builder left, which is usually packed subsoil. We loosen it, add screened topsoil, set the grade away from the house and lay out sprinkler mains for the whole lot, even if the back yard waits a year. Then we build the front to meet the deadline and the HOA, and come back for the back when you are ready.
Eagle Mountain is two climates in one city, the milder Ranches by the Lake Mountains and the colder City Center out toward Fairfield, with open Cedar Valley wind, metered city water and a one-year clock on new front yards.

The Eagle Mountain challenges
With one year for the front and two for the back, many owners rush the front and figure out the back later. That often means digging up the new front lawn to run lines to the back. We plan both at once and build in the order that fits your budget.
New development in Eagle Mountain comes with lawn limits, drip on beds and a smart controller rule. A yard copied from an older neighborhood may not fit. We draw yours to the current rules and confirm them with the city and your HOA first.
Builders strip topsoil and run heavy equipment over the lot for months. What is left is hard, alkaline subsoil that roots cannot get into. Skipping soil prep to save a day is the most common shortcut we see on new lots.
A bare lot in spring wind turns into a dust cloud, and your new neighbors' cars wear it. Tumbleweeds pile up against the foundation. Getting the front yard covered early, even before the back is done, cuts down on both.
The J&H approach
We design the front and back together, with sprinkler mains, sleeves under walks and drains for downspouts, even if the back gets built a year later. That way phase two ties in without tearing out phase one.
We rip compacted ground, bring in screened topsoil and set the grade to fall away from the foundation. On lots near the base of the Lake Mountains, we also check how water comes down from the ground above you.
We schedule the front to beat your one-year date and your HOA's review. You get the order of work and the price in writing, so you know what gets done first and what comes next.
What homeowners say

"Jackson and his crew did a phenomenal job on our back yard. I had a vision and they brought it to life. We had them do a retaining wall, grading, underground trampoline, sprinkler system, and sod. They met deadlines, communication was on point, and the whole crew was friendly.…"
"…The job was completed quickly without sacrificing quality, and the results exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely hire this team again and recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping help."
