Salt Lake County — Utah's Most Diverse Landscape Market

East Bench (Holladay, Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights): Clay-heavy soils, mature tree canopies, established landscapes that need renovation rather than starting from scratch. Irrigation systems are often 20–30 years old and underperforming. Retaining walls are common on the hillside lots transitioning from flat valley to canyon terrain.

South Valley (Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Herriman, Riverton, Bluffdale): Mix of new construction and 1980s–2000s builds. Lot sizes are larger than the urban core. Outdoor living investment is high in this market — patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features are among the most common project types. Newer construction often has compacted soil and minimal landscaping from the builder.

Urban Core (Salt Lake City, Murray, West Jordan): Smaller lots, more urban design constraints, strong demand for space-efficient outdoor design. Rooftop decks and elevated outdoor spaces are more common here than anywhere else in the county. Historic properties in Federal Heights and Avenues neighborhoods require sensitivity to neighborhood character.

With this much variety under one county designation, the most important thing we do before any Construction project in Salt Lake County is site assessment — understanding the specific soils, drainage, existing vegetation, HOA restrictions, and intended use of the space. A landscape design that works perfectly in Draper may be completely wrong for a Federal Heights hillside lot. We don't apply county-wide assumptions when the conditions are this varied. Every Salt Lake County project starts with an on-site evaluation, and the design follows from what the site actually needs.

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.
