Design/Build Landscaping Contractor in Salt Lake City

If you’re building a new home, redoing your backyard, replacing a failing retaining wall, or finally ready to fix your slope and drainage issues, you need more than basic landscaping. You need a plan that works in Utah’s soil and climate.

SLC Lawn Services specializes in full landscape design and build projects across Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan, South Jordan, Murray, Draper, and surrounding Salt Lake County communities. Since 2010, we’ve been helping homeowners turn bare lots, sloped yards, and outdated landscapes into functional outdoor spaces.

Designed Around Real Utah Yard Problems

Most full landscape projects start with one of these issues:

    • Sloped backyard that’s unusable
    • Failing or leaning retaining wall
    • New construction with bare dirt
    • Overwatered lawn and high water bills
    • Parking strip that never looks good
    • Outdated patio or no patio at all
    • Sprinkler system that doesn’t work properly

We design and build landscapes that solve those problems, not just cover them up.

Choosing a Design/Build Landscape Contractor

Hiring the right landscape contractor matters more than most homeowners realize.

In Utah, landscaping isn’t just about appearance. Clay-heavy soil, slope issues, irrigation efficiency, freeze-thaw cycles, and drainage all affect how long your project will last. Many of the retaining walls, patios, and sprinkler systems we’re asked to repair were installed without proper base preparation or water planning.

When choosing a design/build contractor, here are a few things to consider:

    • Do they handle both design and construction in-house?
    • Do they understand local soil and drainage conditions?
    • Can they explain how irrigation will be zoned and installed?
    • Do they provide written estimates and clear scopes of work?
    • Are they experienced with retaining walls, patios, and full yard transformations, not just lawn maintenance?

A true design/build company coordinates excavation, grading, irrigation, hardscape, and planting as one complete system. That prevents costly mistakes where one contractor blames another.

Since 2010, we’ve been building landscapes across Salt Lake County with a focus on proper preparation and long-term durability. We don’t just install what’s visible above ground. We build the foundation correctly so the finished landscape performs year after year.

Backyard Landscaping & Outdoor Living Spaces

Backyards are where we see the most transformation.  Homeowners often contact us because:

    • They want a patio and steps added
    • They need a retaining wall to level the yard
    • The slope makes the space unusable
    • They want a complete backyard redo

We regularly combine:

    • Retaining walls
    • Paver or concrete patios
    • Lawn installation
    • Irrigation systems
    • Garden beds
    • Water features

Everything is planned together so the layout makes sense and functions properly.

Our Landscape Design & Build Process

We start with an on-site consultation. We walk the property and discuss:

    • How you want to use the space
    • Problem areas like slope or drainage
    • Irrigation and water use
    • Budget and priorities

From there we develop a practical layout. For larger projects, we can provide 2D or 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished result.

We handle excavation, grading, irrigation, hardscape, planting, and finishing details. One company. One coordinated plan.
