Introduction to the service
A yard in Utah comes with its own set of challenges. The ground bakes in July and freezes hard in January. Grass that looks clean in June needs constant attention by August, and water costs add up fast. Most homeowners in Tooele and Salt Lake County don’t want to spend every weekend fighting their yard — they want it to look good and stay that way.
Taylor Made builds landscaping that works with those conditions, not against them. Whether that’s a full xeriscape conversion, a new planting layout, or a complete yard build from scratch, we design outdoor spaces that look intentional and stay manageable. We’re a local company based in Grantsville, and we work throughout Tooele County and Salt Lake County.
Most of our landscaping clients are homeowners who want a cleaner, more usable yard — one that doesn’t require a maintenance schedule to keep up with. If that sounds like what you’re after, we’d like to talk.
What Makes Good Landscaping in Utah?
Landscaping that looks great the first summer and falls apart by year two isn’t good landscaping — it’s just expensive sod and seasonal plants. Good landscaping in Utah starts with understanding the soil, the frost dates, the water costs, and how a yard actually gets used. That means choosing plants suited to our elevation and heat, designing irrigation that doesn’t over-water or waste, and building edges and borders that don’t heave and shift every spring.
We’ve been building yards in Tooele and Salt Lake County for over 20 years. We know which drought-tolerant plants thrive here and which ones struggle. We know what the soil looks like in Stansbury Park versus Magna. We’ve seen enough projects to know where people cut corners and what it costs them two seasons later. When we build a yard, we build it to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What landscaping services does Taylor Made provide?
Taylor Made offers a full range of landscaping services: xeriscape design and installation, full yard builds, sod and seed lawn installation, drought-tolerant plant selection, sprinkler and irrigation systems, decorative rock and mulch installation, edging and border work, and seasonal cleanup and maintenance. Most projects involve a combination — a yard build usually touches several of these at once. We handle all of it in-house, which means one crew, one point of contact, and no coordination gaps.
Do you do xeriscape landscaping in Tooele County and Salt Lake County?
Yes. Xeriscape is one of our most requested services, especially in Tooele County where water costs and the high desert climate make low-water landscaping a practical choice — not just an aesthetic one. We design drought-tolerant yards using rock, native plants, and efficient drip irrigation that can cut outdoor water use significantly. We work throughout Tooele County and Salt Lake County, and we’re familiar with the local conditions in both areas.
Can you handle landscaping and hardscaping as part of the same project?
Yes — and that’s usually how it goes. Most finished outdoor spaces need both structural elements (a patio, a retaining wall, clean edging) and landscaping work (planting, rock, turf). Taylor Made does all of it under one roof. You get a cohesive design and a single point of contact instead of coordinating between a hardscaping contractor and a separate landscaping crew. If you’re planning a full yard transformation, we’re set up to handle it from start to finish.
How do I find a landscaping contractor in Tooele County or Salt Lake County?
Look for someone with real local experience — someone who knows Utah’s soil conditions, frost dates, water restrictions, and what plants actually survive our summers. Taylor Made is based in Grantsville and has been working throughout Tooele and Salt Lake Counties for over 20 years. We’re not a national company dispatching whoever’s available. When you call us, you’re talking to the crew that’s going to come out and build your project.
What's the difference between traditional landscaping and xeriscape?
Traditional landscaping uses high-water grass and plants that need regular irrigation, mowing, and fertilizing — which gets expensive in Utah. Xeriscape (sometimes called drought-tolerant landscaping) replaces water-hungry turf and plants with rock, gravel, native plantings, and efficient irrigation design. The upfront install cost is comparable, but the long-term water and maintenance savings are significant. It also tends to hold up better through Utah’s dry summers and hard winters. We do both — and we’ll give you an honest assessment of which makes more sense for your yard.
