Customer Reviews in Summit County
We had a great experience with Pitt Landscape! After receiving a number of bids to tear out our old, collapsing asphalt driveway and replace it with geocells and gravel, not to mention, a pretty steep retaining wall, we went with Pitt because they fe…
We bought a new construction home with zero side and backyard landscaping. We had a general design plan of what we wanted -xeriscape, hot tub pad, built-in fire pit, patio, patio cover, plants and trees, and lighting. Pitt assisted us with suggesti…
Park City Design Standards & Permit Requirements
Summit County's permit requirements and design standards vary significantly between Park City's incorporated limits, Snyderville Basin, and unincorporated county land. Park City proper applies design review standards that cover not just structures but also grading, retaining walls, and visible outdoor improvements — projects that wouldn't require design review elsewhere need submittals here. Snyderville Basin has its own setback and development standards. We work in Summit County regularly and maintain familiarity with the specific requirements of each jurisdiction, which matters from the first estimate through permit approval.
The county's high-end residential market also sets aesthetic expectations that match the interior quality of the homes — outdoor kitchens, fire features, and landscape design at Summit County price points are typically custom rather than catalog. If you have a Summit County property and want outdoor improvements that perform in the mountain climate and hold up to the scrutiny of the market, we do that work.
Landscape Architecture That Gets Built
Pitt Landscape & Construction is a licensed general contractor and full-service design-build firm. Our landscape architecture practice does not produce plans for other contractors to build — it produces plans we build ourselves. From the first site analysis to the final installation, every design decision is made with construction reality in mind. We have completed 79 landscape architecture projects across the Salt Lake Valley representing $2.5 million in design scope, all integrated into larger builds that include concrete, retaining walls, irrigation, softscape, and outdoor structures.
What Landscape Architecture Includes
Our landscape architecture scope covers the full technical and aesthetic design of an outdoor environment: site grading and drainage analysis, hardscape layout (concrete, pavers, retaining walls, steps), irrigation system schematics, planting plans, outdoor structure placement (decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens), and lighting design. When the site requires it, we produce engineered drawings for permit submission. Because we hold a Utah general contractor license, we can take a design from architectural drawings to permitted construction without transferring the project to a third party.
Designed for Complex Sites
The properties we design are rarely simple. Many sites in the Salt Lake Valley involve significant grade change, drainage constraints, or limited access — conditions that require real engineering behind the design. Our team evaluates soil conditions, slope ratios, retaining wall load requirements, and drainage routing before a plan is finalized. The result is a design that does not fail during construction and a finished landscape that performs correctly through Utah's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring moisture, and dry summer heat.
Projects That Combine Design and Construction Scope
Our most impactful projects involve landscape architecture as the organizing layer for a multi-scope build: concrete flatwork, engineered retaining wall systems, pavers, full irrigation, tree and softscape installation, and outdoor living structures all designed as a single environment and built under one contract. These are the projects that transform a property — not individual line items, but a coordinated outdoor build where the architecture is evident in how everything relates. Our top completed projects in this category average well into six figures.
Design-Build vs. Design-Only: Why It Matters
A design-only landscape architect produces plans and hands them off. A design-build firm like Pitt Landscape & Construction designs and builds. This distinction changes everything: our designs are informed by what we know it takes to build correctly in Utah — material costs, subcontractor requirements, permitting timelines, and site-specific constraints. Clients work with one team from concept through construction, which eliminates the translation errors and scope gaps that appear when a separate contractor tries to interpret someone else's design intent.

Every design-build engagement at Pitt Landscape & Construction begins with a site consultation in Summit County.
