Home Remodeling, Concrete & Landscaping in Sandy, Utah

Sandy grew by more than 700% in the 1970s, and that decade still defines the city: split-levels, ramblers and two-stories on generous lots, many with the original kitchens, bathrooms, sprinkler systems and driveways. Those homes are exactly where a remodel pays off — tub-to-shower conversions, new tile and vanities, LVP or laminate over 40-year-old carpet, basements finished with 1980s paneling redone properly, and a fresh coat of paint on everything.

The east side of Sandy climbs the Wasatch bench toward Little Cottonwood Canyon; the west side sits on the valley floor. Bench lots bring slope, retaining walls, drainage and rockier soil, plus more snow than the valley — all of which figure into how we grade a yard and build a concrete base. Sandy City Public Utilities supplies culinary water from Little Cottonwood Creek, Deer Creek and city wells; without a general secondary system, efficient sprinkler zoning and drip go straight to the water bill.

Sandy has adopted the state’s water-efficient landscape standards, so lawn-replacement rebates apply, and the city’s older park strips are prime candidates. Mature trees on 50-year-old lots — silver maples, cottonwoods, spruces planted in 1975 — are also a steady source of removal and trimming work here.
