What We Build in Cedar Hills

Landscape Design & Installation

Smaller yards don’t mean fewer options. Our Landscape Design team specializes in maximizing usable space with smart layouts, terracing, and family-friendly features that complement Cedar Hills’ suburban neighborhoods.

Pavers & Concrete

From front walkways to backyard patios, our Pavers and Concrete Installation add both curb appeal and durability. We install bases designed for Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles and make sure finishes fit the neighborhood style.

Pools & Water Features

Even on smaller lots, Pools and Water Features can be a focal point. We design efficient layouts with safety, views, and year-round function in mind.

Fire Pits & Outdoor Living

Cool canyon breezes make evenings perfect for gathering outside. Our Fire Pits and seating areas are customized to your yard size and positioned to capture views of Timpanogos.

Sports Courts & In-Ground Trampolines

Cedar Hills families love recreation. We install Sports Courts and In-Ground Trampolines with proper drainage and safety surfacing, even on tighter lots.

Artificial Turf

Artificial Turf is an excellent choice for Cedar Hills where water conservation matters. It creates usable play space for kids and pets without the upkeep of natural grass.

Exterior Lighting

Our Exterior Lighting enhances curb appeal, improves safety on sloped lots, and highlights mature trees and architecture.

Localized Planning for Cedar Hills

Lot Sizes & Layouts

  • Compact Yards: Many Cedar Hills homes sit on smaller lots compared to Alpine or Highland. We focus on efficient layouts, multi-use spaces, and vertical design elements.
  • Foothill Slopes: Homes near the golf course and foothills may require retaining solutions and terraced designs to make yards safe and functional.

Soil & Climate

  • Clay-Heavy Soil: Cedar Hills shares soil challenges with Highland, requiring drainage amendments for turf and planting areas.
  • Exposure: South-facing yards heat up quickly, while north-facing yards stay cool and moist. We balance plantings and hardscape materials to handle both extremes.

Neighborhood Styles

  • Golf Course Living: Near Cedar Hills Golf Club, properties often emphasize views and entertaining. We design patios, lighting, and fire features that complement the scenery.
  • Family Neighborhoods: Subdivisions like Juniper Heights and Canyon Heights prioritize family recreation. We add trampolines, turf, and sport features for active households.
  • View Lots: Homes with west-facing views of Utah Lake need shading strategies to make evening patios comfortable.

Water-Wise Landscaping

  • Irrigation Efficiency: Smart controllers and drip irrigation reduce water waste on compact yards.
  • Plant Choices: Drought-resistant species such as juniper, ornamental grasses, and native perennials keep yards low-maintenance.
  • Turf Alternatives: Artificial turf and xeriscaping save water while maintaining curb appeal.

Permitting & HOA Guidelines

Some projects such as pools, retaining walls, or exterior lighting may need approvals through Cedar Hills City or local HOAs. We handle coordination and documentation for a stress-free process.
