Complete Landscape Design and Construction

A luxury landscape starts with a clear plan. The patio needs to fit your furniture, walkways should connect the spaces comfortably, and planting should complement your home as it matures.

AJA Landscaping considers these relationships before construction begins. We plan visible features alongside grading, drainage, irrigation, and access for installation to create a finished yard that works as a whole.

Our focus is substantial residential projects, including complete front-yard and backyard installations and full landscape remodels.

Custom Landscape Designand Project Planning

Property Assessment and Custom Design

We begin with your goals and the conditions at your property. Outdoor dining, entertaining, lawn space, garden areas, and private seating each need a place within the design.

We consider dimensions, slopes, sunlight, existing plants, views from inside your home, and construction access. These details guide the layout and help establish the project scope.

2D Landscape Plans and 3D Renderings

Scaled 2D plans show the layout, dimensions, and relationship between features. 3D renderings help you picture the materials, planting, and outdoor spaces before installation.

The design gives you a clear way to review the proposed landscape and discuss changes before construction starts.

Material Selection and Planting Plans

Paver styles, wall materials, planting, and landscape finishes should work with your home’s architecture.

We help coordinate these choices while considering outdoor exposure, care requirements, mature plant size, and your preferred appearance.

Hardscaping and Outdoor Living Construction

Paver Patio Installation

A well-planned patio creates room for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. We design paver patios around furniture placement, access from the home, and connections to nearby lawn and garden areas.

The layout can include separate spaces for cooking and seating while keeping movement through the yard comfortable.

Walkways connect entrances, patios, planting beds, and other outdoor features. We consider width, direction, turns, and elevation changes so each route fits the property.

Materials and patterns can complement the patio and driveway while giving the landscape a consistent appearance.

A paver driveway adds detail to your home’s front and connects the entrance to the surrounding landscape.

Planning accounts for vehicle use, drainage, base preparation, and transitions to adjoining surfaces.

Retaining walls help shape sloped yards and create more usable space. They can support raised planting areas, terraces, and elevation changes within the landscape.

We consider wall location, drainage, surrounding construction, and any engineering or approval requirements that apply.

An outdoor kitchen brings cooking and entertaining into the same space. We plan its location around food preparation, selected appliances, nearby seating, and access from the home.

We identify utility needs and installation requirements during planning so we can coordinate them with the surrounding construction.

A dedicated fire pit area creates a comfortable place to gather. We plan the surrounding paver surface, seating space, and walking routes around the selected feature.

Placement considers clearances, nearby planting, and applicable requirements.

Water features add movement, sound, and a focal point to your landscape. We consider how the feature will look from patios, windows, and other gathering areas.

The design also accounts for equipment access and ongoing care.

Low-voltage LED lighting highlights paths, steps, trees, planting, and outdoor living areas after sunset.

We plan fixture locations and wiring routes alongside the landscape construction. Lighting direction, glare, indoor views, and neighboring properties all influence the design.

Steps and terraces connect different levels of a property. We place them to support comfortable access between patios, lawn areas, and garden spaces.

We coordinate these transitions with retaining walls, walking routes, and lighting as part of the overall construction plan.

Softscaping and Landscape Installation

Sod Installation

Sod creates lawn space for everyday use and balances the landscape’s harder surfaces.

We consider soil preparation, grading, irrigation coverage, and how the lawn connects to patios and planting beds before installation.

Artificial Turf Installation

Artificial turf provides a green surface with less routine lawn upkeep. It can be incorporated into a larger landscape alongside patios, planting, and recreation areas.

The installation plan includes product selection, base preparation, drainage, sun exposure, and transitions to adjoining surfaces.

Backyard Putting Greens

A custom putting green adds a dedicated golf practice area to your backyard.

We consider available space, contours, surface selection, and how it relates to seating, walkways, and the rest of the landscape.

Tree, Shrub, and Garden Bed Planting

Trees and shrubs add structure, privacy, and seasonal interest. Selection considers sunlight, soil conditions, water needs, and mature size.

We plan their placement around buildings, walkways, views, and outdoor living areas so the landscape has room to develop.

Irrigation and Sprinkler System Installation

An irrigation system should support the completed landscape. Lawn areas and planting beds have different watering needs, which influence the layout.

We coordinate sprinkler installation with grading, hardscaping, and planting so we plan underground work before installing finished surfaces.

Drip Irrigation

Drip irrigation can serve selected trees, shrubs, and planting beds.

We incorporate it where appropriate for the planting plan and coordinate it with the wider irrigation system.

Xeriscape and Water-Wise Landscaping

Water-wise design combines suitable plants, thoughtfully sized lawn areas, and appropriate irrigation.

A luxury water-wise landscape can include varied planting, decorative rock, paver patios, and inviting outdoor living spaces. The design considers water use throughout rather than addressing it after installation.

Grading and Drainage Solutions

Garden beds bring color and texture to the yard while defining transitions between lawn and hardscape.

We can coordinate planting, mulch, and decorative rock with the overall design. We consider the finish, care requirements, and access needed as the planting grows.

Site Preparation, Grading, and Drainage

The work beneath the finished landscape matters as much as it does to its appearance.

Site preparation can include removing materials within the renovation scope, preparing soil, adjusting elevations, and establishing suitable bases for hardscape.

Grading and drainage planning considers how water moves through the property and how patios, walls, lawn areas, and planting will affect that movement. We address these details before installing finished features.

Luxury Landscaping for New Homes

An unfinished new-construction yard offers the opportunity to plan the entire property together.

AJA Landscaping coordinates front-yard and backyard installation, including grading, irrigation, sod or artificial turf, planting, patios, walkways, retaining walls, lighting, and selected outdoor living features.

Planning the complete yard helps connect entrances, gathering spaces, and garden areas. It also lets us coordinate underground work before paving and planting.

Full-Yard Landscape Renovations

A complete renovation can change how you use an established property.

We assess which features should remain and which need replacing. The plan may address an undersized patio, disconnected paths, outdated irrigation, drainage concerns, or planting that has outgrown its space.

We then bring new hardscape, lawn areas, garden beds, lighting, and outdoor living features together in one construction plan.

Luxury Landscape Construction for Utah Properties

Utah properties vary in elevation, exposure, access, and growing conditions. A landscape plan should reflect the individual site.

Sloped yards need careful coordination of retaining walls, steps, grading, and drainage. Sunny properties require attention to plant selection and irrigation. Snow, wet ground, and seasonal temperatures can affect construction timing and where you place outdoor features.

We also discuss how much ongoing care you want your finished landscape to require. Lawn size, planting choices, artificial turf, and water-wise areas all affect that commitment.
