Landscape Design & Installation in Ogden, Utah
From historic homes in East Bench to new builds in West Ogden, Premier Landscapes designs and builds outdoor spaces that fit the character of Ogden. Full landscape design, installation, pools, hardscaping, and year-round maintenance.
Premier Landscapes in Ogden
Ogden is one of Northern Utah's most distinctive cities — a mix of century-old brick homes, new foothill subdivisions, and everything in between. Landscaping in Ogden means working with mature trees, variable soil from the bench to the valley floor, and dramatic views of the Wasatch front that deserve to be framed rather than hidden.
Premier Landscapes has been designing and building outdoor spaces across Weber County for over 20 years. We've renovated historic landscapes in East Bench, installed full backyard transformations in the Mount Ogden foothills, and built pool-and-patio combinations for homeowners throughout Ogden Valley and the city's newer neighborhoods.
Whether you're restoring a classic front yard on Washington Boulevard or designing a modern outdoor living space in a newer Ogden subdivision, we bring the same level of craft, the same design discipline, and the same commitment to a landscape that still looks great 20 years from now.
Landscaping Considerations for Ogden
Ogden has its own climate, soil, and design characteristics that shape how we approach every project in the area.
Bench vs. Valley Floor Soils
Ogden's East Bench sits on well-draining alluvial fan soil, while the valley floor is often heavier clay. Plant selection, irrigation zoning, and drainage strategy all need to adapt to which part of the city you're in. We test and plan for both.
Mature Tree Preservation
Many Ogden properties have decades-old maples, cottonwoods, and fruit trees worth preserving. We design around mature canopies rather than bulldozing them, and we understand how to protect root zones during excavation and construction.
Foothill & Hillside Engineering
Ogden has some of Northern Utah's steepest residential lots. Sloped sites in the Shadow Valley and Mount Ogden areas often require retaining walls, engineered drainage, and terracing — all things we've been doing for two decades.
Snow, Freeze & Runoff
Ogden gets heavy winter snow and aggressive spring runoff from the mountains. Irrigation systems, hardscape grading, and pool equipment all need to be designed and winterized with this in mind. We handle it as part of every build.

Ogden Landscaping FAQs
Do you do landscaping in Ogden, Utah?
Yes. Premier Landscapes serves all of Ogden and Weber County, including East Bench, Mount Ogden, Ogden Valley, South Ogden, North Ogden, Pleasant View, Huntsville, and surrounding areas. Our shop is in Layton, about 15 minutes south, and we regularly work throughout the Ogden area.
How much does landscaping cost in Ogden?
A basic landscape refresh in Ogden typically starts around $5,000–$15,000. Full backyard transformations with hardscaping, irrigation, and planting usually run $25,000–$60,000. Projects that include pools, pergolas, and water features can range from $75,000 to well over $200,000. We provide detailed, transparent proposals after an on-site consultation.
What plants grow best in Ogden's climate?
Ogden sits in USDA Zone 6b/7a with hot dry summers, cold snowy winters, and about 18 inches of annual precipitation. Drought-tolerant and Utah-native plants do best — Russian Sage, Serviceberry, Gambel Oak, Blue Flax, ornamental grasses, and hardy shrubs like Mugo Pine and Potentilla all thrive here. We select plants that match your specific microclimate within Ogden.
Can you build a pool on my sloped Ogden lot?
Yes. Ogden's hillside lots are some of the most rewarding pool projects we do. Sloped sites often require engineered retaining walls, additional excavation, and structural considerations — but they also create opportunities for stunning infinity edges, view corridors, and multi-level pool decks. We've built dozens of hillside pools throughout the Wasatch Front.
Do you handle snow removal in Ogden?
We offer snow removal as part of our commercial maintenance programs for Ogden businesses, HOAs, and community properties. Residential snow removal is available on a limited basis for existing landscape maintenance clients. Contact us to discuss your property.
How long does a landscape project take in Ogden?
Timelines depend on project scope and weather. A simple landscape refresh takes 1–2 weeks. Full backyard transformations run 4–10 weeks. Custom pool builds typically take 10–16 weeks. Ogden's winter weather can shift timelines, so we recommend starting the design and permitting phase in fall or winter so construction can begin as soon as the ground thaws in spring.
