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.

The projects that define Pitt Landscape & Construction are not single-trade jobs. They are full-property builds: a basement remodel paired with a complete landscape redesign, a garage build alongside a concrete and retaining wall system, an outdoor kitchen and pergola set within a hardscape and irrigation installation. Keeping construction and landscape under the same GC means unified design intent, no contractor finger-pointing, and a finished property that functions and looks like a single plan — because it was one.

Every project at Pitt Landscape & Construction begins with a design-build consultation. We assess your site in Herriman, review scope, and produce architectural drawings before any work begins. This ensures permits are pulled correctly, subcontractors are coordinated against a real plan, and your investment is protected from the first day of construction to the final walk-through.
