Landscaping Designed for American Fork Living

American Fork yards have a history of mature trees, decades-old planting beds, and sprinkler systems installed when the house was built. Avalawn helps you build a landscape that fits the way you live now.

Why American Fork homeowners work with Avalawn

A big share of our American Fork projects are renovations. Think of a yard that was beautiful twenty years ago but has gotten overgrown, or of junipers and shrubs that outgrew their spot. Renovation work takes a different judgment than new installation: knowing what to save, what to remove, and how to blend new work into an established yard without making it look bolted on.

That's what we're good at. And when the project is a fresh start, we bring the same approach: honest recommendations, careful prep work, and installations built for American Fork's conditions.

Took advantage of the winter discount on their filters and it saved us a ton of money on our irrigation revitalization project. We have been wanting to get our sprinklers up and running ever since we moved in but have never been able to fit it in our budget until now. Very fair pricing and a great crew to back it up.

If you have secondary water, you know the battle with your pressure. Luckily Kordell had just the right solution to fix my pressure issue in my back yard zone. They were in and out in a day with nothing left behind except a perfectly working system. Super pleased with the crew over at Avalawn.

Had a major main water leak that we couldn't shut off and we couldn't get a hold of our usual guys. Thankfully, Avalawn was incredibly responsive giving us pricing right over the phone and having a tech out to fix the issue within a few hours.

We did our project in these months to save some money, and even in the freezing weather, the crew showed up with a great attitude. They were able to make our whole yard water wise in just a week. Xeriscaping some areas due to inefficiencies and overhauling the whole sprinkler system. 10/10 times would recommend these guys to take care of any of your irrigation needs.

Davin and Kordell (and crew) are the hardest workers! They turned my 200 foot back fence into a low maintenance beauty. Worked with me when adding/changing stuff. Kordell is very knowledgeable and saved me from having to replace the 9 trees I bought because we have secondary water. Got it done quick. AvaLawn went the extra mile to repair my fountain pump while adding some water lines that the original installer neglected to add. Kordell knew his stuff about fountains too! I would highly recommend!

We had Avalawn do our drip system, removal of a water feature, and install rock in all the boarders and beds. I can’t say enough good things about how well they did! They took a run down yard and made it look amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice. I will be referring them to anyone I know who is shopping for anything yard related. They were prompt and efficient. We have future projects we are saving up for and we will use them again!! Thank you so much Avalawn

We’ve had a persistent issue with our fountain for three summers and two other companies couldn’t figure it out. Kordell came out and pinpointed the issue super fast. He knew his stuff when it came to water features. While he was here he fixed our drip line that we didn’t even know had a leak. I’ve worked with plenty of contractors in my day but it's rare to find one that actually wants to help rather than doing the bare minimum. I highly recommend Avalawn!

I had Avalawn clean our waterfall, empty the reservoir tank and make sure our pump was working properly Eric did a wonderful job cleaning and refreshing the waterfall after years of buildup and yuck. It looks beautiful! He even went so far as to rearrange the rocks so that it sounded much more pleasing. They were easy to work with, and pricing was more than fair. I will definitely use them again.

FAQ

American Fork Landscaping questions, Answered

Our yard is completely overgrown. Do we have to start from scratch?

Usually not, and usually you shouldn't. Mature trees and established shrubs are assets that take decades to replace. We typically start with a heavy cleanup and selective removal, then rebuild beds, lawn, and hardscape around what's worth keeping.

Can you replace our old railroad-tie retaining wall?

Yes. It's one of the most common requests we get in American Fork. Railroad ties and old cinder-block walls from past decades are rotting and leaning all over the city. We remove them and build properly engineered block or stone walls with real drainage behind them, so the replacement outlasts the original by a wide margin.

Our sprinkler system is 25+ years old. Should we repair or replace it?

It depends on the condition of the pipe and valve, which we can assess on-site. Sometimes it makes sense to update the system zone by zone. However, when we’re already renovating the landscape, we can replace heads and valves and add drip lines for far less than it would cost later. We'll give you both numbers and let you decide.

Is it worth tearing out the lawn for water-wise landscaping in an established yard?

Often, yes, especially side yards, park strips, and big front lawns nobody uses. Converting those areas to drip-irrigated, drought-tolerant plantings cuts your water bill and maintenance time while keeping usable lawn where it matters. Water-wise doesn't have to mean gravel; done well, it looks lusher than the lawn it replaced.

Water pools in our backyard every spring. What's causing it?

On the lower ground in parts of American Fork, it's usually some combination of flat grading, compacted soil, and runoff from roofs and neighboring lots with nowhere to go. The fix is site-specific.

How do you protect mature trees during a landscape renovation?

Carefully. We fence off root zones, avoid trenching or grade changes near the drip line, and hand-work areas where equipment would compact the soil. A mature shade tree is often the most valuable thing in the yard, and we treat it that way from demo day forward.
