Grading & Drainage
Where every yard is won or lost. Water moves first; everything else follows.


Residential and commercial projects, built start to finish by our own crews.

A new yard looks good the day it’s finished. The real test is how it holds up after a few Utah winters.
Freeze and thaw is hard on patios and walls, and problems often don’t show up until the second or third year. New plantings also take a few growing seasons to fill in.
So we put the time into what sits underneath: a compacted base, joints cut to allow for movement, and a care schedule for new plantings after we hand the project over.

Services
On a full project, grading and drainage come first, then structural work, then finishes and planting. Each service has its own page, and our process page covers how a project runs from start to finish.
01

02
Engineered walls with drainage behind them, built to hold a hillside for decades.


03
Stone set on a compacted base, jointed to survive freeze and thaw.


04
The deck, coping, and drainage around water — the part of a pool you actually stand on.


05
Plant palettes chosen for this climate — alpine wind, alkaline soil, short shoulder seasons.


06
Low-voltage lighting laid out for the evenings you actually use the yard.


07
Basins, spillways, and quiet water — plumbed and sealed to run without babysitting.


Projects
Most of our projects combine several of the services above. Each one has its own page with more detail.

Service Area
Site conditions vary a lot across northern Utah. Elevation, soil, wind, and the length of the growing season all affect how we build and which plants we recommend.
The alpine corridor — shorter seasons, steeper grades, and the most demanding site conditions in the state.
Bench lots with long views west across the lake and hard clay soils that dictate drainage strategy.
Established east-bench neighborhoods where mature canopy and tight access shape the whole approach.
Foothill parcels below the Ogden peaks, with wind exposure that narrows the workable plant palette.
Common Questions
We have active job sites across our service area for most of the year. If you’d like to see our work up close, mention it when you get in touch and we’ll set up a visit.
