Historic Hilltop Living by the University

Federal Heights offers plenty of hiking trails and outdoor access, yet it’s less than a 10‑minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City and close to shopping at City Creek Center. This balance of nature and convenience inspires our Landscape Design designs: we craft outdoor rooms that flow into the surrounding hillsides, incorporate shade structures and drought‑tolerant gardens suited to the foothills climate, and create elegant entertaining areas that blend with historic architecture. Whether you’re adding a patio with valley views or improving a small courtyard, we’ll tailor your space to Federal Heights’ unique blend of seclusion and urban access.

We install perennials, shrubs, trees and flowers that anchor your landscape and bring it to life. Working from a complete design—whether provided by you or created by our in‑house team—we select species that thrive in the local climate and soil. These plantings are integrated with patios, pools, fire pits and other features to create harmony across the whole site. The right mix of heights, textures and colours gives your yard four‑season appeal in Federal Heights or anywhere.

Softscape refers to the groundcover and bedding materials that aren’t grass. We lay bark, mulch, chat, gravel, granite and other rock to define garden beds and create walking paths. These materials suppress weeds, conserve soil moisture and support xeriscaping principles, reducing maintenance and irrigation. A crisp mulch edge or smooth gravel path is the finishing touch that makes your landscape feel intentional.

Plants and softscapes often account for up to 30% of a landscape project’s budget, and they’re what make a design pop. A well‑chosen evergreen hedge, flowering tree or ornamental grass provides structure and color, while complementary mulch or gravel ties everything together. Thoughtful selection and placement in your Federal Heights garden create a cohesive look and deliver lasting value.
