Utah County's Growing Outdoor Living Market

Utah County's terrain and soil vary considerably by location, and those differences affect how we design and build. The Alpine and Highland bench properties on the northeastern edge of the county face rocky, shallow soils and significant grade changes — retaining walls and terraced planting beds are common solutions on these lots. The western bench communities (Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain) have sandy loam soils that drain quickly but can be nutrient-poor, requiring organic amendment before establishing plantings. Low-lying areas near Utah Lake in the west carry elevated soil salinity in some zones and wind exposure from the lake that affects plant species selection.

Lehi's I-15 corridor — the "Silicon Slopes" strip — includes a mix of commercial and residential projects where outdoor space is increasingly used as a recruiting and retention amenity for tech campuses. We handle both residential and commercial outdoor improvements across Utah County, calibrating designs to the specific microclimate and soil conditions of each site.

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.
