Landscaping Services Built for Pleasant Grove Yards

Pleasant Grove yards deal with rocky soil and a secondary water system that only runs part of the year. Avalawn designs landscapes that work with both.

Why Pleasant Grove homeowners work with Avalawn

Pleasant Grove sits on rocky loam left behind by old alluvial fans off the mountain. It's alkaline, it drains fast, and it dries out faster than the clay-heavy soil you'll find in cities that are only a few miles away. That changes how a landscape should be built from the ground up, from soil amendment to sprinkler run times.

Then there's the water itself. Most Pleasant Grove homes run on secondary water piped from the Provo River, and the city fills that system on its own schedule each spring, with watering days assigned by house number once the system is live.

Here, the landscape has to be designed around that calendar. We build in the right plant choices, zoning, and controller settings so your yard holds up during the weeks the system isn't running yet, and thrives once it is.

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

Pleasant Grove landscaping questions, answered

Why does my yard turn brown every July, no matter how much I water?

That's almost always the soil. Pleasant Grove's rocky loam drains so fast that water passes right through the root zone before it soaks in. We fix this with soil amendment and shorter, more frequent watering cycles rather than running the sprinklers longer.

How does the secondary water schedule affect my landscaping plan? 

Pleasant Grove fills its secondary system in the spring and assigns watering days by house number once the system is running. We design your irrigation zones and plant choices around that calendar, so your yard isn't stressed in the gap before the system is live and stays healthy once your watering days kick in.

What plants actually do well in this alkaline, rocky soil? 

More than you'd think, once the soil is properly amended. We lean on plants proven for alkaline, fast-draining ground along the Wasatch Front, paired with mulch and drip lines that hold moisture where roots need it.

My lot backs up to the foothills. Do I need to worry about runoff from above? 

Yes, and it's worth planning for even if your own yard doesn't have much slope. We use grading, dry creek beds, and drainage that redirect water coming down from the mountain before it reaches your foundation or washes out your beds.

Can you work around an older yard downtown with mature trees instead of removing them? 

Absolutely, and we usually recommend it. Mature trees are one of the best things an established Pleasant Grove yard has going for it. We design planting beds, irrigation, and hardscaping around the root zones instead of through them.
