Herriman's bench location creates a terrain pattern common to many southwest Salt Lake County communities: flatter valley-floor lots in the lower subdivisions, transitioning to more pronounced grades as you move east and uphill toward the Oquirrh Mountain foothills. Sloped lots in Herriman's upper neighborhoods frequently require retaining walls, terracing, or grade modification to create usable flat areas — the raw bench slope is often too steep for outdoor living without some structural intervention. We design retaining walls and terracing as integrated landscape elements rather than purely functional structures, so the finished yard looks designed rather than engineered.

Herriman's soils are generally well-draining sandy loam on the bench, but compaction from construction activity is widespread in newer developments. A proper soil assessment before any planting or irrigation work typically reveals layers of compaction that explain why builder-grade grass is already thinning or patchy. Addressing the compaction layer — whether through aeration, amendment, or soil replacement — is often the most important first step in any Herriman outdoor renovation.

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.
