Met with the homeowners to understand their vision for a property that could function as a private resort — a place for entertaining, recreation, and relaxation without leaving home.
Developed a comprehensive design plan that unified the front and back yards into a single cohesive landscape with consistent materials, lighting, and craftsmanship.
Removed the existing front yard and installed a full-width paver driveway featuring a tumbled cobblestone pattern with dark brown border banding and circular medallion inlays.
Designed sweeping curved paver walkways connecting the driveway, front entry, and park strip with contrasting border accents.
Built decorative rock beds with layered river rock, boulders, and planted islands featuring weeping spruce, dwarf conifers, hydrangeas, and ornamental evergreens.
Installed a basalt column water feature as a front yard focal point and a natural boulder bubbler near the front porch entry.
Extended paver and rock detailing through the park strip with alternating turf panels for a finished, curb-to-door presentation.
Integrated low-voltage landscape lighting along walkways, planting beds, and architectural features for evening curb appeal.
Installed a full-size in-ground pool with paver surround and fire bowls mounted on stone columns flanking the pool.
Built a lighted multi-sport court for pickleball and basketball with professional-grade surfacing, net system, and dual hoops.
Created a custom putting green with multiple pin positions and contoured turf, integrated alongside an in-ground trampoline.
Laid artificial turf across the entire backyard — from the pool deck edge to the sport court and property perimeter — eliminating all natural grass maintenance.
Constructed a circular gas fire pit with a curved block seating wall, built-in cushion storage niches, and stone pillar-mounted lanterns on each end.
Installed a flush-mount hot tub on a dedicated paver pad adjacent to the covered pavilion.
Built an outdoor dining area with paver patio connecting the pavilion, fire pit, and pool deck into one continuous entertaining surface.
Planted columnar trees along the fence line for privacy screening between the recreation areas and neighboring properties.
Installed decorative rock borders with landscape fabric and proper drainage throughout all planting beds and transition zones.
Placed accent boulders beneath the pavilion and at key sight lines for natural texture.
Coordinated all lighting — pathway, uplighting, sport court floods, and fire feature glow — to create a unified evening atmosphere across the full property.
Private Resort: The backyard now functions as a self-contained recreation destination — pool, sport court, putting green, fire pit, hot tub, and open turf — all in one property.
Curb Appeal Transformation: The front yard went from standard landscaping to a show-stopping paver driveway and rock landscape with water features and evening lighting that stands out in the neighborhood.
Zero Lawn Maintenance: Artificial turf across the entire backyard eliminates mowing, watering, and seasonal upkeep while staying green year-round in Utah's climate.
Property Value: A comprehensive landscape investment that significantly increases the home's market appeal and livability.
