Yardd

Wasatch Front · Salt Lake County

Landscaping in Draper.
South-end estates, south-facing yards.

Draper covers the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, from the foothills of Suncrest down to the Jordan River corridor. Lots tend to run larger here, and the Wasatch sun + Lone Peak views shape how we design every yard. Yardd serves all of Draper end-to-end.

What we look for in Draper

Knowing the ground matters here.

Lot context

Draper trends larger than most of the valley — typical properties run 0.30 to 1+ acres, with foothill estates regularly over an acre. The size lets us design real outdoor rooms, fire features, and full lighting plans.

Soil + grade

Decomposed granite and clay along the bench, transitioning to clay-heavy soils in the lower valley. Prep depth matters: clay heaves seasonally, granite is stable but draws extra excavation effort.

HOA + design rules

Suncrest and South Mountain have active HOAs with fence-color, front-yard, and roofline rules. Many require pre-approval for hardscape installs over 200 sq ft and for permanent lighting systems. We pull the CC&Rs before we quote.

Permits + city

Draper follows Salt Lake County permit rules — fences over 4 feet, walls over 4 feet, attached decks. Hillside lots sometimes need additional engineering for tall walls. We handle it.

What we install

Every Yardd service, in Draper.

Turf, hardscape, fencing, decks, and permanent lighting — all designed and installed end-to-end by Yardd’s local team across Draper and the rest of Salt Lake County.

Frequently asked

Questions homeowners ask about Draper.

Do Draper HOAs allow Trimlight or Jellyfish permanent lighting?
Most Draper HOAs explicitly allow permanent lighting systems — many prefer them over seasonal Christmas lights. Suncrest has a "warm white default, holidays-only color" rule that we program around. We submit a sample render to the HOA before install where required.
I'm on the bench in Draper. Is my soil different?
Bench lots in Draper (above 5,200 ft elevation) tend to have decomposed granite mixed into the soil. It's stable for retaining walls and base prep, but excavation is slower and we factor that into the labor estimate. Lower-valley Draper is straight clay.
How does the south-facing sun affect turf and decks in Draper?
Draper's south-facing yards see the most intense UV in the Salt Lake Valley. We spec UV-stabilized turf (the only kind we install) and steer toward composite or PVC decking over wood — natural cedar fades faster here than anywhere else on the Wasatch Front.
Can you install on a steep Draper hillside?
Yes — most of our Suncrest and South Mountain work involves significant grade. Tall retaining walls (engineered with geo-grid), terraced patios, and hillside drainage are core Yardd capability. We've done 3-tier wall systems and patios cantilevered over downslope grade.
