Davis County — Between Mountain and Lake

Davis County occupies a distinct geographic position: pressed between the Wasatch Front mountains to the east and the Great Salt Lake marshes to the west, with the valley floor running north-south through Bountiful, Centerville, Farmington, Kaysville, Layton, and into the rapidly growing cities of Clearfield, Syracuse, and Clinton. The county's residential market spans from established 1960s–1980s hillside neighborhoods in Bountiful and North Salt Lake to brand-new subdivisions still being platted in West Kaysville and Sunset. These different vintages of housing create different outdoor project needs — mature Bountiful properties often need landscape redesign and refresh, while newer north-county homes need full landscapes built from scratch.

Davis County has grown steadily for two decades, and the mix of established and new-construction properties means we see both ends of the project spectrum here regularly — restoration and renovation of aging landscapes, and first-time installation on new lots with raw soil and minimal topsoil. We work throughout the county and understand both markets.

What Shapes Outdoor Work in Davis County

Several site conditions are specific to Davis County and shape how we design outdoor projects here. Canyon winds out of Farmington Canyon and Parrish Canyon create consistent wind exposure on the Kaysville and Farmington benchlands — windbreaks and wind-tolerant plant selection matter more here than in more sheltered Holladay or Draper microclimates. Low-lying areas near the Great Salt Lake and Davis County's western communities — Syracuse, Clinton, and the Clearfield flatlands — can carry elevated soil salinity that limits turf species selection and affects irrigation system efficiency.

The county's rapid residential growth has also left many newer lots with compacted soil, minimal import topsoil, and builder-grade landscaping that's already underperforming by the third summer. A proper soil assessment before any planting or irrigation work often reveals why a lawn is struggling despite consistent watering — and what it would actually take to fix it rather than just maintain it.

Frequently Asked Questions by Service

Basement Remodeling
Do you need a permit to finish a basement in Utah?
Yes. Basement finishing requires a building permit in all Salt Lake Valley municipalities. The permit covers framing, electrical, plumbing, and egress compliance. We pull all permits, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and ensure the finished space meets current Utah code. Finishing a basement without permits creates problems at resale and can result in required demolition if discovered during a home sale inspection.
What is an egress window and do I need one?
Utah code requires a compliant egress window in every bedroom in a finished basement. An egress window must provide a minimum 5.7 sq ft of clear opening (at least 24 inches high and 20 inches wide) for emergency escape. Many older Utah basements have hopper or slider windows that are too small to meet this requirement. We check egress compliance on every basement project before design is finalized. If new egress windows are needed, we cut the foundation, install the window well, and frame the opening under permit.
How long does basement finishing take?
A full basement finishing project typically runs 10–16 weeks from permit submission through final walkthrough. The permit approval process (2–4 weeks in most Salt Lake County cities) and specialty material lead times are the main schedule drivers. Once permits are approved and materials are ordered, the construction phase runs 6–10 weeks for most projects. We'll give you a project-specific schedule with your proposal.
Garage Construction
Can you match the design of my existing home when building a garage?
Absolutely! We specialize in custom garage construction that seamlessly integrates with your home’s architecture, materials, and aesthetics.
Do I need a permit for a garage installation or remodel?
Yes, most cities and counties in Utah require permits for new garage construction or major remodels. We handle the permitting process to ensure compliance with local building codes.
General Contractor
How does Pitt Landscape and Construction ensure project quality?
We carefully vet subcontractors, oversee all phases of work, enforce contracts, and conduct inspections to maintain the highest standards.
How long does a general contracting project take?
Timelines vary based on scope, permitting, and weather conditions, but we create realistic schedules and clear milestones to keep your project on track.
How much does it cost to hire a general contractor services?
Costs depend on the project’s scope, materials, and complexity. Most general contractors charge costs plus 30-40% for overhead and profit, but Pitt Landscape and Construction provides transparent pricing tailored to your project.
Kitchen Remodeling
Are you licensed to do kitchen remodeling in Utah?
Yes. Pitt Landscape & Construction holds a Utah General Contractor license. We pull all required permits, coordinate licensed plumbers and electricians through our project team, and are responsible for all trade work on your project. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation on all workers.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall to open up the kitchen?
Yes. Most kitchen-to-living-room walls in Salt Lake Valley two-story homes are load-bearing. We assess the structure, design the appropriate beam and post solution, and handle the framing work under permit. This is one of the most common requests in our kitchen remodel scope and not something homeowners should attempt without a licensed GC managing the structural work.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels run 4–8 weeks from demo through final walkthrough. Projects with structural wall removal or significant layout changes may run 10–12 weeks. The main variables are permit timeline (2–4 weeks in most Salt Lake Valley cities), countertop fabrication lead time (2–3 weeks), and cabinet delivery (4–8 weeks for semi-custom). We sequence these in parallel where possible to compress the overall timeline.
Outdoor Kitchens
Do you install outdoor kitchens in the Salt Lake Valley?
Yes — custom outdoor kitchen design and installation is one of our signature services. We serve Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, Murray, Herriman, Park City, and the broader Salt Lake Valley. We handle the full scope: structural build, countertops, gas line, electrical, and surrounding hardscape.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Utah?
A built-in grill station starts around $8,000–$15,000. A full outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, sink, and 12–18 feet of counter space typically runs $20,000–$40,000. Projects that include a surrounding paver patio and pergola can reach $60,000–$80,000+. We'll give you a precise number after a free on-site visit.
Can an outdoor kitchen handle Utah winters?
Yes, when built correctly. We use steel stud framing with cement board, granite or porcelain countertops, stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use, and weatherproof cabinetry. We also design for proper drainage so standing water doesn't freeze and damage the structure. A properly built outdoor kitchen in Utah lasts 20–30+ years with basic maintenance.

Concrete Contractors
How thick should a concrete patio be in Utah?
We pour residential patios at 4 inches thick minimum, with 5–6 inches in areas with heavy foot traffic or expected vehicle access. Driveways are 5–6 inches standard. Thickness alone doesn't determine longevity — base depth and compaction matter as much as the slab itself. We spec both correctly on every project.
How long does concrete last in the Salt Lake Valley?
A properly installed concrete slab with air-entrained mix, adequate base, and control joints lasts 30–50+ years in Utah. The main failure modes — spalling from freeze-thaw and random cracking from shrinkage — are preventable with correct materials and installation. We've maintained and repaired concrete from our early projects dating back to 2007.
What's the difference between stamped and exposed aggregate concrete?
Stamped concrete uses textured forms to imprint a stone, brick, or wood pattern into fresh concrete, then adds color through stain or integral pigment. It looks striking but requires resealing every 2–4 years to protect the surface layer. Exposed aggregate seeds decorative stone into the surface and washes away the paste to expose it — the result is naturally textured, slip-resistant, and more durable in Utah's freeze-thaw climate because there's no surface coating to degrade. Both are good options; we'll recommend based on your exposure and maintenance preference.
Fire Pits
Do you install gas fire pits in Salt Lake Valley?
Yes. Gas fire pit installation is one of our most requested outdoor living services across Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, Murray, and the broader Salt Lake Valley. We run new gas lines where needed, handle permits and inspections, and install the complete fire pit including burner, igniter, and decorative media. We coordinate with the gas utility and local building department as part of our standard process.
Are wood-burning fire pits allowed in Salt Lake Valley?
Wood-burning fire pits are allowed on most days, but Utah's air quality action day system restricts open burning during Red and Yellow days — which are common in winter. Most HOA communities in Draper, South Jordan, and Herriman also restrict or prohibit wood-burning features. Gas fire pits are not subject to air quality restrictions and are allowed by most HOAs. We review your specific city and HOA requirements during the estimate.
How much does a fire pit installation cost?
A standalone gas fire pit installed by Pitt Landscape typically runs $3,500–$9,000 depending on size, ignition type, and materials. Most of our fire pit projects also include a surrounding paver patio or seating walls, which brings the total to $12,000–$30,000+ for the complete outdoor living space. The best way to get an accurate number is a free on-site estimate — we'll measure your space and give you a fixed price.
Landscape Architecture
How can I increase my property's value with landscape design?
A well-designed landscape architecture improves aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency, all of which increase your property’s value.
How do I get started with a landscape consultation or design project?
Simply contact us via our website or call to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your landscape architecture goals, budget, and timeline to create a custom plan.
How do you ensure the quality of your landscaping materials?
We source materials from trusted suppliers and ensure they meet the highest standards for durability and aesthetics.
Landscape Lighting
Do you offer low-voltage landscape lighting systems?
Yes. We design and install low-voltage landscape lighting systems that are energy-efficient, reliable, and well-suited for residential properties. Low-voltage systems allow for precise fixture placement and layered lighting without overpowering the space. Each system is thoughtfully planned to complement your landscape design and provide long-term performance.
Can landscape lighting be added to an existing yard?
Yes. Landscape lighting can be integrated into existing landscapes or included as part of a larger design-build project. When added to an established yard, we evaluate access, planting, and hardscape conditions to ensure clean installation and proper wire concealment. Our goal is to enhance the space without disrupting existing features.
How long do LED landscape lighting fixtures last?
High-quality LED landscape lighting fixtures are designed for long-term durability and energy efficiency. Most professional-grade LED fixtures provide many years of reliable performance when properly installed and maintained. We select fixtures and components that are appropriate for outdoor conditions and ensure transformers and wiring are sized correctly for the system.
Pavers Installation
How long do pavers last in Utah's climate?
Properly installed concrete pavers last 30–50+ years in Utah. The key is the base: 8–10 inches of compacted road base prevents settling, and edge restraints prevent spreading. Individual pavers that crack or stain can be replaced without touching the rest of the surface. We've maintained and repaired paver installations from the early 2000s that are still performing well.
Can you install pavers over an existing concrete patio?
Yes, with conditions. If the existing concrete is structurally sound (no major cracks or heaving), we can overlay pavers on top using a mortar or thin-set installation. This adds height, so door clearances and drainage need to be evaluated. If the concrete is in poor condition, we recommend removal and a proper paver base install. We'll assess your slab during the estimate.
What paver brands do you work with?
We primarily work with Belgard, Unilock, EP Henry, and Techo-Bloc — all available through local Utah distributors. We can also source pavers from specific manufacturers if your HOA requires a particular product. We'll help you navigate HOA materials lists and select a style and color that fits your home.
Retaining Walls
Do you handle permits for retaining walls in Utah?
Yes. Walls over 4 feet in height typically require a building permit in Salt Lake County municipalities including Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, and Murray. We handle permit applications, engineering documentation where required, and inspection scheduling. Permit costs vary by city and are included in our proposal.
How long does a retaining wall last?
Properly built retaining walls with good drainage last 30–50+ years for boulder and concrete block, and 15–20 years for timber. The single biggest factor in longevity is drainage — walls without a drainage system behind them typically fail within 5–15 years in Utah's freeze-thaw climate.
Can you build a retaining wall on a steep slope?
Yes. Steep slopes often require multi-tiered wall systems, geogrid reinforcement, or engineered boulder placement. We have the equipment — including a full-size excavator — to work on difficult terrain. We'll assess the slope during your free estimate and design accordingly.
Sprinkler Installation
Do you design the sprinkler system or just install it?
Both. We design the zone layout based on your property — sun exposure, plant types, soil, and water pressure — and then install the system ourselves. You're not buying a design and handing it to someone else to install. The same crew that maps your zones installs them, which means the design actually matches the reality of your property.
What smart controllers do you install?
We primarily install Rachio and Hunter Hydrawise smart controllers. Both connect to local weather data and adjust run times automatically — if it rained yesterday, the system skips today's schedule. Rachio integrates with most smart home systems and is easy for homeowners to manage from their phone. Hydrawise is a contractor-grade option with more zone capacity for larger properties. We'll recommend the right fit for your system size and how involved you want to be in day-to-day management.
How do you winterize a sprinkler system in Utah?
We blow out the system with a compressor to remove all standing water from lines and heads before the first hard freeze — typically early October in the Salt Lake Valley. Standing water in unprotected lines expands when it freezes and cracks the pipe or head bodies. We offer seasonal winterization as a recurring service. If you installed your system with us, we'll have your zone map on file and can do a full blow-out in 30–45 minutes.
Water Features
What type of water feature is best for the Salt Lake Valley?
For most Salt Lake Valley homeowners, a pondless waterfall is the best fit. You get the full sound and visual impact of a waterfall without the algae management, mosquito risk, or drowning hazard of an open pond. Pondless features are also easier to winterize in Utah's climate — drain the reservoir, pull the pump, and you're done for the season. Koi ponds are excellent for clients who want a living ecosystem and are prepared for the maintenance commitment. We'll walk you through both options during your estimate.
How do you winterize a water feature in Utah?
For pondless waterfalls, winterization takes about an hour: drain the reservoir, remove and store the pump, clean the basin of leaves and debris. We offer this as a recurring service each fall. For koi ponds, winterization is more involved — adjusting aeration, reducing feeding as temperatures drop, and monitoring water chemistry through the cold months. We design every water feature with winterization in mind from the start so the process is straightforward rather than a seasonal ordeal.
How much maintenance does a water feature require?
A pondless waterfall requires 2–3 hours of total maintenance per season: spring startup and filter cleaning, mid-season debris clearing, and fall winterization. A koi pond requires significantly more — weekly skimming, filter cleaning every 2–4 weeks, and water chemistry monitoring. We're honest about these expectations during the estimate process so you select the right feature type for your lifestyle and available time.
Xeriscaping
Are your landscaping designs sustainable?
Yes, we specialize in sustainable landscaping, including xeriscaping and water-wise designs that conserve resources and reduce maintenance costs.
What is xeriscaping, and how can it help save water?
Xeriscaping is a landscaping method that uses drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation systems to conserve water while maintaining beauty.
