From Farmland to Silicon Slopes

Lehi’s roots are in Dry Creek, a farming settlement from the 1850s, but it has become a center for Utah’s tech boom. Today the city hosts chip factories and offices for companies like Adobe, Ancestry and Microsoft, giving it the nickname “Silicon Slopes.” Our designs bridge that past and present—incorporating clean, modern lines and sustainable materials suited to new builds while weaving in native plantings and agricultural textures that honor Lehi’s rural heritage.

Historic Charm and Year‑Round Attractions

Lehi still celebrates its history and natural beauty. The Lehi Roller Mills, a working flour mill from 1906 that appeared in the film “Footloose,” anchors the town’s identity. Nearby Thanksgiving Point draws visitors with its gardens, museums, farm exhibits and seasonal festivals. Our offerings take inspiration from these landmarks: we design gardens with lush perennial beds and water features like those at Ashton Gardens, create outdoor living areas for family gatherings, and select materials that echo the mill’s silos and farm structures. In a climate of hot summers and snowy winters, we focus on durable construction and water‑wise planting so your landscape thrives year‑round.

Basement Remodeling
View Basement RemodelingSee all FAQs →
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.
Bathroom Remodeling
View Bathroom RemodelingSee all FAQs →
When can I use my bathroom after a remodel?
Most areas of your remodeled bathroom are ready for immediate use. Two short-term precautions: if caulking or grout was recently installed, wait 24–48 hours before heavy moisture exposure (showers, baths) to allow full cure. Do not hang heavy items on newly installed towel bars or accessories immediately after installation — give the anchors and adhesives time to fully set. Beyond these first 48 hours, the bathroom is ready for normal use. Paint and finish surfaces reach full hardness and washability within 7–14 days — during this period, use a soft cloth for any cleaning rather than abrasive sponges.
How do I prevent mold in a remodeled bathroom?
The primary defense against mold in a bathroom is ventilation. Run the exhaust fan during every shower and for at least 15–30 minutes afterward to remove moisture-laden air before it condenses on surfaces. Keep the exhaust fan grille clean — a clogged grille significantly reduces airflow. If you don't have a timer on the fan, adding one (available at any hardware store) ensures it runs long enough after you leave the bathroom. Secondary: maintain caulking around the tub, shower, sink, and backsplash. Failed or cracked caulking allows water intrusion behind tile surfaces — the hidden moisture is where mold grows. Inspect caulk annually and replace any cracked or separated sections promptly. Keep tile and grout surfaces dry between uses where possible.
How do I clean and maintain bathroom tile and grout?
Use mild, non-abrasive tile cleaners — avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus-based products) on natural stone tile, as acid etches stone surfaces. For porcelain and ceramic tile, a simple diluted dish soap solution is effective for routine cleaning. Grout: clean with a soft brush and mild cleaner. Grout is porous and can stain — sealed grout (which we apply at installation on floor grout) resists staining but should be re-sealed every 1–3 years depending on use and wear. If grout becomes consistently darker or discolored in one area despite cleaning, moisture intrusion may be the cause — this warrants a closer look at the caulking or waterproofing in that area. Never use a pressure washer on interior tile.
Deck Builders
View Deck BuildersSee all FAQs →
How long before I can use my deck after it is built?
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) is ready for normal foot traffic immediately after construction is complete. For the first 72 hours, avoid placing heavy concentrated loads — large planters, grills, or heavy furniture sitting in one spot — to allow fasteners and framing to fully set. After 72 hours, the deck is ready for full normal use including furniture, grills, and regular entertaining.
Does a composite deck need to be sealed, stained, or painted?
No. Composite decking does not require sealing, staining, or painting — ever. This is one of the primary advantages over natural wood. Trex and similar premium composite decking products are UV-stabilized and moisture-resistant from manufacture. Applying a sealer or stain to composite decking is not recommended and can void the manufacturer warranty. Annual cleaning and an annual inspection of fasteners, railings, and stairs is all the maintenance a composite deck requires.
How do I remove snow from a composite deck without damaging it?
Use a plastic shovel — never a metal-edged shovel — and push snow in the direction of the decking boards rather than across them. This prevents the shovel edge from catching on board ends or surface textures. Avoid using metal ice chippers or sharp tools on composite decking. For ice removal, allow it to melt naturally when possible, or use a calcium chloride or magnesium chloride ice melt product. Avoid rock salt (sodium chloride) — it can accelerate corrosion on metal fasteners and connectors over time. Do not use sand mixed with salt.
Garage Construction
View 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
View General ContractorSee all FAQs →
Do I need a licensed general contractor for my outdoor project?
In Utah, most structural projects over a certain threshold require a licensed general contractor — including decks over 30 inches above grade, basement conversions with egress windows, garage builds, and outdoor kitchens with gas or electrical. A licensed GC pulls the building permit, manages subcontractors, schedules inspections, and carries the liability for the work. Without a licensed GC, structural work may not pass final inspection or may create problems at resale.
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.
Kitchen Remodeling
View Kitchen RemodelingSee all FAQs →
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
View Outdoor KitchensSee all FAQs →
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
View Concrete ContractorsSee all FAQs →
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
View Fire PitsSee all FAQs →
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
View Landscape ArchitectureSee all FAQs →
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
View Landscape LightingSee all FAQs →
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
View Pavers InstallationSee all FAQs →
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.
Plants and Softscape
View Plants and SoftscapeSee all FAQs →
How often should I water newly installed plants and sod in Utah?
The first 2–4 weeks after installation are the most critical. Newly installed sod should be watered daily (sometimes twice daily in summer heat) for the first 2 weeks until roots establish into the soil below. After that, reduce to every other day, then transition to a regular schedule based on weather and season. Newly installed trees and shrubs need deep, infrequent watering rather than frequent shallow watering — target 2–3 times per week for the first season, allowing the root zone to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering is as damaging as underwatering for woody plants; consistently saturated soil promotes root rot. Utah's clay soils drain slowly — adjust cycle-soak programming to match your soil's infiltration rate rather than running all the water at once.
How long does it take for new plants to establish after installation?
The general rule for woody plants (trees and shrubs) is one year of active establishment per inch of trunk diameter at planting time. A 2-inch caliper tree takes roughly 2 years before it is fully self-sufficient. During that period, the plant is investing energy in root system development rather than top growth — it may look the same or even smaller than at planting while the roots spread below. Signs of successful establishment: new growth during the growing season and the ability to handle a few missed waterings without wilting. Annuals and perennials establish much faster — typically within one growing season. Sod is typically rooted enough to mow within 3–4 weeks in summer.
How do I care for new sod in Utah after installation?
For the first 2 weeks: water daily to keep the sod consistently moist — the root zone should never fully dry out. Avoid foot traffic and mowing during this period. After 2 weeks, test whether the sod has rooted by gently tugging a corner — if it resists pulling up, it is rooting. Begin reducing watering frequency. First mow: wait until the sod is rooted and has reached 3.5–4 inches in height. Set the mower to its highest setting for the first cut — never remove more than one-third of the blade length at a time. In Utah summers, keep bluegrass and fescue lawns at 3–4 inches to reduce heat stress and water demand. Fertilize in fall and spring, not during summer heat.
Retaining Walls
View Retaining WallsSee all FAQs →
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
View Sprinkler InstallationSee all FAQs →
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
View Water FeaturesSee all FAQs →
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
View 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.
