Landscape Design & Installation in Bountiful, Utah
From Bountiful's historic East Bench estates to the newer subdivisions in West Bountiful, Premier Landscapes designs and builds outdoor spaces that respect the established character of one of Utah's most historic neighborhoods.
Premier Landscapes in Bountiful
Bountiful is one of Utah's oldest residential communities, and it shows in the landscape: mature trees, decades-old gardens, established irrigation, and homeowners who care about doing things right. Landscaping in Bountiful means working with — not against — what's already there.
Premier Landscapes has been designing and building outdoor spaces throughout South Davis County for over 20 years. We've renovated historic East Bench landscapes, designed pool-and-patio combinations on Bountiful's larger lots, and rebuilt yards on Bountiful's steeper foothill streets where engineering matters as much as aesthetics.
Whether you're restoring an East Bench classic, designing a modern pool retreat, or replacing tired plantings on an established Bountiful property, we bring the same level of craft, the same design discipline, and the same commitment to landscapes that hold up for decades.
Landscaping Considerations for Bountiful
Bountiful has its own climate, soil, and design characteristics that shape how we approach every project in the area.
Bountiful's East Bench Topography
Bountiful's east side climbs steeply into the foothills. Many of the best lots are on slopes that need retaining walls, engineered drainage, and terracing. We've been doing hillside work in Bountiful for two decades and understand how to build outdoor spaces that survive runoff and frost cycles.
Mature Tree Preservation
Bountiful's older neighborhoods have decades-old maples, ash, and fruit trees worth preserving. We design around mature canopies rather than removing them, and we know how to protect root zones during pool excavation, retaining wall construction, and irrigation upgrades.
HOA & Historic District Considerations
Some Bountiful neighborhoods have HOAs or historic guidelines that affect design choices — fence heights, plant palettes, hardscape materials. We're familiar with most of these and design plans that get approved on the first round.
Davis County Soil Variability
Bountiful soils vary dramatically: alluvial fan soils on the East Bench, heavier clay lower in the valley, and rocky fill in some of the older subdivisions. We test soil at every site and design irrigation, drainage, and plant selection accordingly.

Bountiful Landscaping FAQs
Do you do landscaping in Bountiful, Utah?
Yes. Premier Landscapes serves all of Bountiful and South Davis County, including East Bench, Eaglewood, Mueller Park, Bountiful Heights, Val Verda, West Bountiful, and surrounding areas. Our shop is in Layton, about 20 minutes north, and we work in Bountiful regularly.
How much does landscaping cost in Bountiful?
A basic landscape refresh in Bountiful typically starts around $5,000–$15,000. Full backyard transformations with hardscaping, irrigation, and planting usually run $25,000–$60,000. Pool, pergola, and water feature projects can range from $75,000 to well over $200,000. We provide detailed proposals after a free on-site consultation.
Can you renovate an older Bountiful landscape?
Yes — landscape renovation is a significant part of our work in Bountiful. Many homes here were landscaped 30, 40, even 60 years ago. We specialize in preserving what's worth keeping (mature trees, established structure) while modernizing what isn't (irrigation, plant palette, hardscape materials).
What plants grow best in Bountiful's climate?
Bountiful sits in USDA Zone 6b/7a. Drought-tolerant and Utah-native plants thrive — Russian Sage, Serviceberry, Gambel Oak, Blue Flax, ornamental grasses, and hardy shrubs like Mugo Pine and Potentilla all do well. Bountiful's East Bench microclimates can be slightly warmer, expanding what's possible.
Can you build a pool on a sloped Bountiful lot?
Yes. Bountiful's East Bench has some of the most rewarding pool sites in Northern Utah. Sloped lots often require engineered retaining walls and additional excavation, but they create stunning opportunities for infinity edges, view corridors, and multi-level pool decks. We've built many hillside pools in Bountiful and surrounding areas.
How long does a landscape project take in Bountiful?
A simple landscape refresh takes 1–2 weeks. Full backyard transformations run 4–10 weeks. Custom pool builds typically take 10–16 weeks. We recommend starting design and permitting in fall or winter so construction can begin as soon as the ground thaws in spring.
