Landscaping and lawn care in Cottonwood Heights

Cottonwood Heights yards, and what they need

Cottonwood Heights calls itself the city between the canyons, sitting on the east bench at about 4,820 feet between Big and Little Cottonwood. Neighborhoods like historic Butler, Old Mill and the streets off Fort Union Boulevard climb up toward the mountains, so a lot of yards here are sloped.

Bench yards bring their own jobs. Slopes are where retaining walls and gravel beds hold soil in place, and where sprinklers tend to run off instead of soaking in. Higher, colder ground also means an earlier freeze than down in the valley, so it pays to get sprinklers blown out on the early side.

We’ve done everything from leaf cleanups to full sod installs here. The back yard below went from bare dirt to new sod in one job.
