Eagle Mountain sits at approximately 5,000 feet elevation, which means hotter, drier summers than the Wasatch Valley floor and significantly colder overnight temperatures in spring and fall. The frost window is shorter than most new residents expect — late frosts through mid-May and early frosts returning by October. Soil conditions vary across the bench from sandy loam in some areas to caliche hardpan in others, which directly affects drainage design and planting depth requirements.

Water conservation is both a practical priority and an increasingly HOA-driven expectation in Eagle Mountain's newer developments. Xeriscape-compatible designs using drought-tolerant native and near-native plantings perform better here than turf-heavy landscapes that fight the local ecology year-round. We design outdoor spaces — patios, fire features, plant beds, retaining structures — that work with Eagle Mountain's desert character, which tends to produce yards that require less intervention and look more intentional than landscapes imported from a wetter climate zone.

Across Eagle Mountain, the most common Construction projects we handle are full landscape design on new-construction lots (including site grading, irrigation, plant installation, and hardscape), retaining walls for the sloped bench lots along the eastern subdivisions, and outdoor living areas — fire pits, patios, pergolas — for properties where the backyard has been left raw since the build. We also do significant work for homeowners who inherited a landscaping setup that isn't suited to Eagle Mountain's conditions and want to start over with something that will actually thrive.

A licensed general contractor is not just a builder — it is the entity legally authorized to coordinate trades, pull permits, manage inspections, and take single-point-of-accountability responsibility for a complete construction project. In Utah, structural work above certain thresholds legally requires it: decks over 30 inches off grade, basement conversions with egress windows, garage builds, outdoor kitchens with gas and electrical — all of it goes through a licensed GC or it does not get a final inspection sign-off.

Pitt Landscape & Construction holds a Utah B-100 General Contractor license. That license is what makes it possible to take a project from architectural drawings through permit to final walk-through without handing off to another company at any phase. Every service listed on this page is executed under that license.

Most contractors are either construction companies or landscape companies. Pitt Landscape & Construction operates both under a single license and a single contract. That means when your project involves a basement remodel and a complete landscape redesign — which many of our projects do — there is one design, one schedule, one point of contact, and one warranty on the whole job.

Our top 10 completed projects average $248,216 each. Every single one combined construction scope and landscape scope. These are not separate jobs that happened to be on the same property. They are full-property transformations planned and built by one team.

Every permitted project at Pitt Landscape & Construction is submitted, inspected, and closed out correctly. We produce structural drawings, submit to the relevant municipality — Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Murray, Riverton, or wherever the site is — coordinate the inspection schedule, and manage any plan-check responses. You do not navigate the building department yourself.

Unpermitted construction creates problems: failed home inspections at resale, insurance disputes, and in some cases, required demolition to bring structures into compliance. Building with a licensed GC from day one is the straightforward way to protect the investment. HOA submissions, engineered drawings, and lien waiver management are all part of how we run jobs.

Every construction engagement at Pitt Landscape & Construction begins with a design consultation at your property. We assess the site, discuss scope and sequencing, and produce drawings before any work begins. For complex projects — a basement conversion, a multi-level deck, a garage build — drawings are required for the permit anyway. We coordinate that process so it moves efficiently.

We serve homeowners across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Summit counties: Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Murray, Riverton, Herriman, Salt Lake City, Bountiful, Farmington, Park City, and surrounding communities. Contact us to schedule a site consultation and get a project estimate.
