Backyard Landscaping Projects We’ve Built
We’ve transformed backyards across the Salt Lake City area into usable outdoor spaces.
Backyard Landscaping for Utah’s Climate
Designing a backyard in Salt Lake City means working with real environmental factors, not ideal conditions. Many properties have compacted soil, significant sun exposure, limited tree cover, and grading that affects how water moves across the yard.
We approach every backyard project with those variables in mind. Before installing patios, turf, or planting areas, we evaluate slope, drainage paths, irrigation layout, and soil quality. We use construction methods and materials that hold up to Utah’s hot summers and freezing winters so your outdoor space remains solid and low-maintenance over time.
Our Backyard Landscaping Services
Our team handles complete backyard landscape construction, including:
-
- Custom landscape design and layout planning
- Paver patios and hardscape gathering spaces
- Engineered retaining walls for elevation changes
- Sod installation and lawn replacement
- Planting beds, shrubs, and accent features
- Yard drainage and grading corrections
- Outdoor lighting systems to extend usability into the evening
From structural hardscaping to finishing details, we build backyards that are comfortable to use, easier to maintain, and designed around how your family spends time outside.

Preview Your Backyard Design Before Construction Starts
Use our AI landscape visualizer to explore backyard design ideas before we start building.
Most homeowners struggle to visualize how a redesigned backyard will look once construction is complete. To make the planning process easier, we offer an AI landscape design visualizer that helps bring ideas to life before any work begins.
Simply upload a photo of your current backyard, select the features you are interested in, and review realistic design concepts applied directly to your space. It allows you to evaluate patio layouts, lawn areas, planting beds, and hardscape features with much more clarity.
The tool also provides a preliminary budget range based on the options you choose, helping you understand potential investment levels early in the process. It is a straightforward way to plan with more confidence and fewer surprises.
Real Backyard Transformations
Homeowners often contact us when their backyard feels underused, hard to maintain, or lacking structure. After a clear plan and professional installation, the change is immediately noticeable.
We regularly hear that the space feels more functional, more comfortable, and easier to enjoy with family and friends. Those improvements come from proper grading, solid base preparation, and careful construction, not quick cosmetic fixes.
What Backyard Landscaping Typically Costs in Salt Lake City
Backyard landscaping costs in the Salt Lake City area depend on what you are building and what the site needs first. Patio size, retaining wall requirements, drainage corrections, irrigation changes, demolition, and material selection all affect the total scope.

Here's What They Say
RatingWilliam was responsive and got a quote out to me quickly. The price was reasonable so I had them zero scape my park strip. They got it all done in a day and it looks great.
I'm so glad called SLC Lawn Services for a quote on a new sprinkler system! They came out that day and I had the estimate by the end of the day. They had the best price and availability for my schedule. They brought a big crew and had the whole front & back yard done in a couple days. They are my new favorite! Definitely recommend.
Team showed up ahead of schedule and did a great job. William was easy to get in contact with and responded quickly to all questions and needs.
They did my entire yard and new sprinkler system. Great professional work.
We hired SLC lawn services for the retaining wall, sprinkler, and sod installation in our backyard. It turned out very well! William is easy to talk with and his crew is friendly.
2019/20 was our first year to use SLC for our neighborhood private road snow removal (10 houses). We found William and his crew to be professional, timely and good value for money. We would certainly recommend their service.
I found these guys on google in spring 2016. These guys are like clockwork. They have come to both of my homes without fail. April 2017, I called them up and like clockwork they come in and take care of my lawn. These guys really have been great! **May 2020, I still stand by my 5 Stars for these guys. They have taken care of our lawn since 2016. These guys have also come to do spring clean-up. You cannot go wrong with these guys!
I have used SLC Lawn Services to fertilize, aerate and cut my lawn for over five years. They consistently exceed my expectations with the quality of work performed. I wouldn't go any where else!
