Landscaper in Salt Lake City, Utah
Salt Lake City's east-side neighborhoods — Millcreek, Holladay, Murray, Cottonwood Heights — are built on lots ranging from 1940s bungalows to 1970s ranch homes, most of them sitting on Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District water with aging irrigation and established shade trees. Our Salt Lake City office is right here at 1543 E 3900 S in Millcreek, which means we're working in these same neighborhoods every day — renovating mature lots, rebuilding aged hardscape, and designing irrigation systems that comply with the city's conservation ordinance and JVWCD's guidelines. We've been doing this work in the Salt Lake Valley for 15+ years.
Designed around Salt Lake's water reality
Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District supplies treated water across most of the Salt Lake Valley, and in Salt Lake City proper the city layers its own conservation ordinance on top of that — limiting outdoor watering and incentivizing smart irrigation controllers. Every system we install in the SLC area is designed with both layers of restriction in mind: JVWCD's seasonal guidelines and SLC's own ordinance requirements.
The rebate path here is through Utah Water Savers, the same program as the rest of the valley — up to $3 per sq ft for lawn-to-waterwise conversions, with pre-approval required before any turf comes out. In older SLC neighborhoods where lots have been lawn-heavy for 50+ years, the rebate potential can be significant.
From the Wasatch foothills to the Jordan River
The SLC east side — Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights — rises toward the Wasatch bench, where lots run on older private irrigation ditch rights and have significant grade. Retaining walls, terracing, and drainage work are common on these hillside and bench properties. Many also have 50-70 year old trees with established root systems that we design around rather than remove.
West toward the Jordan River, the valley floor is flat clay loam — a different build entirely. Drainage engineering is less about slope and more about soil-level management, and lot-level drainage planning matters on properties that sit closer to the river corridor and its flood plain.
In Salt Lake City we build retaining walls on east-valley bench lots, residential landscaping in Salt Lake City, and full landscape design and build in Salt Lake City.
One Salt Lake Valley crew, every project
Utah's SB 152 (2022) means HOAs in Salt Lake City and its surrounding communities cannot penalize you for replacing turf with water-wise or Localscapes-style planting. That's a real change for the HOA-heavy east-side neighborhoods in Holladay, Murray, and Cottonwood Heights — and it's opened up a lot of conversion projects we now help manage start to finish.
From the initial design and rebate paperwork through landscape installation, hardscaping, retaining walls, and pool builds — the same Salt Lake City crew handles it all. One project, one point of contact, from the same Millcreek office that's been serving these neighborhoods for 15+ years.

Questions Salt Lake City Homeowners Ask
Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District supplies treated water across most of the Salt Lake Valley. Salt Lake City proper also has its own conservation ordinance layered on top. We design every irrigation system in the SLC area to work within both sets of requirements.
Yes. Salt Lake City's water conservation ordinance limits outdoor watering schedules and encourages smart irrigation controllers. We design systems that comply from the first season — not systems that need to be retrofitted later.
Yes. Most of our SLC work is on established lots — mature trees, aged hardscape that's heaved and settled, irrigation systems that are 20-40 years old. Renovation and rethink is the core of what we do in these neighborhoods.
Yes. The rebate runs up to $3/sq ft for turf-to-waterwise conversion, and pre-approval has to be filed before any grass comes out. We handle that paperwork as part of every conversion project in the SLC area.
Yes — all of those roll up to our Salt Lake City / Millcreek office at 1543 E 3900 S.
