Landscaping, Concrete & Home Remodeling in Bountiful, Utah

Most of Bountiful’s housing dates from the 1950s through the 1980s — Val Verda and the older west side from the 40s to 60s, the East Bench, Mueller Park, Oakwood and Maple Hills areas later — with a handful of new custom homes on big foothill lots like Stone Creek Estates. Homes of that age are exactly where updates pay off: bathrooms and kitchens on their original finishes, carpet over hardwood, basements finished decades ago, and paint that has been the same color since the 1990s.

The east bench brings its own rules. Slopes over 30% can’t be disturbed without permits, the city’s watershed-protection zone sits just above the neighborhoods, and the 2019 Gun Range Fire that destroyed three homes on the bench is a reminder that defensible-space landscaping matters here. East-canyon windstorms — the December 2011 storm topped 100 mph nearby — are why we build fences and pergolas on this side of town with reinforced posts and rails.

Water is different on each side too. Secondary irrigation from Bountiful Irrigation and South Davis Water covers most of the west and center, but is largely unavailable east of Bountiful Boulevard, so bench yards water on metered culinary supply. That changes the math on lawn size, drip irrigation and water-wise planting — and Bountiful is in Weber Basin’s top rebate tier for replacing lawn.
