Chris kept us informed the whole time, was quick to respond, easy to work with, and was reliable. The project as a whole was a great experience. We highly recommend this company, and we will definitely be looking to them for any future landscape projects.

What drew us to Salt City Landscaping and Excavation for our backyard is Chris's flexibility to allow us to do what we could do and then have him do what we couldn't do. It was offered at a fair price and we had him do the grading, top soil, dig the sandbox, deliver the sand, dig the hole for the trampoline and install it, do the sprinkling system including the drip lines for the flower beds and garden, and place the decorative boulders. He was great to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Responsive and Good quality. Chris was great to work with, listened to concerns, and did a good job excavating, cutting the door, and pouring our basement entrance 4 years ago. There were a few small stucco issues left behind, and they left our front fence post very crooked upon re-installation, but overall for what we paid I was satisfied with the work that was done... they beat other estimates by quite a bit. My only ongoing issue is that now we have occasional flooding during massive storms at the basement door entrance due to poor drainage... if it weren't for that it would be 5 stars.

Chris Simmons and his company did an amazing job xeriscaping our three yards -- in total, 3,400 square feet of lawn that we don't have to water with a sprinkler system: everything is now on drip lines, and saving water here in Utah is so critical. Chris and his crew were a delight to work with. Chris was most responsive to my texts, and would come over if I needed to consult on something or have something adjusted, like a drip line. Our yards are now covered with decorative rock, beautiful water-wise plants, and flagstone pathways (see photos). I recommend Chris and Salt Lake Landscape & Excavation to you most highly!

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects do you handle?

We design and install complete landscapes, including sod, planting, and irrigation. We also build hardscapes such as paver patios, walkways, and retaining walls, and perform excavation, grading, and drainage improvements.

Do you provide design help or work from existing plans?

We can do both. If you have plans, we’ll review them for constructability and drainage, and if not, we can develop a practical design suited to your site and budget.

How do you address drainage and grading issues?

We evaluate slope, soil, and water flow before any installation begins. Solutions may include regrading, French drains, swales, or base preparation to protect hardscapes and planting areas.

What is the typical project timeline?

Smaller projects like patios or planting can take a few days to a couple of weeks once scheduled. Larger outdoor living or full-yard installations may take several weeks depending on scope and weather.

How do I get an estimate?

Call (801) 981-9662 or reach out through the website to schedule a site visit. We’ll review your goals, assess site conditions, and provide a written estimate with a proposed schedule.
