Utah Landscaping Ideas

If you are looking for Utah landscaping ideas, specifically in the Salt Lake Valley, it’s important to account for all four seasons and dry weather. After noting the natural environment, the next step in Utah landscaping ideas is to think about the ways you may want to use your outdoor space.

We have a list of Utah Landscaping Ideas that will get you excited to create your dream outdoor living space. 

Consider A Pool and Spa

Utah has hot summer months in July and August but the warm weather can start as early as June and end as late as October. The nights can get chilly which makes it perfect for a swim during the day and a hot tub at night. Plus, in the winter months, you may be looking for a way to warm up and a heated pool or hot tub is a fun way to get outside. 

At Land Design by Armstrong, we will start with an onsite consultation to make your plan for pools and spas. If you love water elements you could also include ponds, water walls, or fountains - we do it all. In fact, water features are a Land Design trademark, as they create an element of tranquility and calm in your space. Fully customizable and built from the best materials, every time.

Lighting is Important 

Are you a night owl? There is nothing like the moment the sunsets and your outdoor space start to twinkle in the dusk for BBQs and evening to late-night gatherings. An outdoor living space with the perfect lighting is a must when considering Utah Landscaping ideas. The Land Design by Armstrong team of Landscape Contractors and Landscape Architectures ensures that details such as lighting are not missed when creating your outdoor living space. Ideas can include lit pathways to lighting above key features such as your outdoor kitchen or a fireplace. Additionally, outdoor lighting is important for security reasons.

Think Green

If you want to add greenery to your Utah landscaping, evergreen trees and shrubs are a great option. Not only is there a lot of variety within the evergreen family, but there are also different shapes you can have with shrubs to add your personality to your landscape. Plus, evergreen trees and shrubs will provide greenery that will last all year long and looks beautiful in every season. If you are looking for low-maintenance landscaping options, there are even types of evergreen shrubs that have minimal shedding.

Consider Privacy 

Retaining walls can add privacy to the entire space or create a unique dynamic from entertainment spaces to gardens and lawns.  Land Design by Armstrong is a Belgard-preferred installer, which makes us the expert at installing the “Number One hardscapes brand in North America.” This ensures customer satisfaction with both the service and material.

Hardscape advantages can include increasing your property value, minimal regular care, and can have customized elements to create the space you are dreaming of.

Conclusion 

Water elements, lighting, greenery, and privacy are all elements that Land Design by Armstrong specializes in. Consider your lifestyle and what you will use the most to enjoy your space to the fullest.
