Landscape Design and Renovation for Utah Homes
Rework an outdated, overgrown, or underused yard with a practical landscape plan designed around your home, priorities, and Utah’s climate.
Serving Bluffdale, Herriman, Riverton, Draper, Sandy, and surrounding communities.
Xeriscaping
Layout, planting, materials, water use, drainage, and specialty features planned as one connected landscape.
A Better Plan for the Yard You Already Have
Landscape renovation is more than replacing a few plants or adding decorative rock. The best results come from understanding what is not working, what should remain, and how each part of the yard can support the finished design.
Coonhound Landscape Specialties develops practical renovation plans that improve layout, water use, planting, drainage, curb appeal, and how the yard functions day to day.
Improve the Yard Without Starting Over
Keep What Still Works
Preserve healthy, useful features and focus the investment where it creates the most impact.
Correct the Problem Areas
Address poor layout, drainage, irrigation, overgrowth, and difficult maintenance before adding finishes.
Create a More Cohesive Yard
Connect planting, turf, hardscape, and specialty features so the landscape feels intentional.
Targeted Improvements for a Better Landscape
Each renovation is different, but the project may include a combination of the following improvements.
Existing Landscape Evaluation
Review what should remain, what needs to be removed, and which site conditions are limiting the yard.
Irrigation Updates
Repair, adjust, or redesign sprinkler and drip zones to support the updated landscape more efficiently.
Lawn Reduction or Replacement
Replace worn lawn, reduce grass in low-use areas, or create more practical turf zones.
Planting Bed Redesign
Remove overcrowded or failing plants and rebuild beds with better spacing, structure, and seasonal interest.
Rock, Mulch & Edging
Refresh exposed or inconsistent areas with coordinated rock, mulch, edging, and clean transitions.
Walls, Curbing, Fencing & Drainage
Add the specialty features needed to improve privacy, structure, water movement, and usability.
A Renovation Should Solve Problems, Not Cover Them Up
New plants and materials will not fix a yard with poor drainage, inefficient irrigation, overcrowded beds, or a layout that does not fit the property.
We evaluate the existing landscape first, then organize improvements around the conditions that affect appearance, maintenance, water use, and long-term performance.
- Existing layout and circulation
- Drainage and elevation concerns
- Sprinkler and drip coverage
- Healthy features worth preserving
- Overgrown or failing plants
- High-maintenance problem areas
- Long-term care expectations

A Yard Correct the Problem Areas’s Climate
Utah landscapes experience intense sun, dry air, seasonal temperature changes, limited rainfall, and varying soil conditions. Renovation is an opportunity to replace poorly suited features with materials and plants that make more sense for the property.
We help homeowners rebalance lawn, planting, irrigation, shade, decorative materials, and maintenance so the updated yard is easier to manage and better suited to local conditions.
Local Planning Priorities
- Purposeful lawn placement
- Efficient sprinkler and drip zones
- Native and regionally adapted plants
- Shade and heat exposure
- Seasonal temperature changes
- Realistic maintenance expectations
Residential Landscaping With a Practical Approach
We do not force every property into the same layout or material package. Recommendations are based on the yard, the home, the homeowner’s priorities, and the conditions that will affect the finished project.
- Residential-focused project planning
- Utah-appropriate plant and material choices
- Complete yard and specialty service capabilities
- Clear recommendations based on the property

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about updating an existing yard and planning a residential landscape renovation.
What is included in a landscape renovation?
The scope depends on the property, but a renovation may include removing outdated materials, reducing or replacing lawn, updating irrigation, rebuilding planting beds, adding native plants, installing decorative rock or mulch, improving drainage, and adding walls, curbing, or fencing.
Do you have to remove the entire existing landscape?
No. Healthy trees, useful lawn areas, established plants, irrigation components, and other features may be preserved when they still fit the updated plan. The goal is to improve the yard without removing good elements unnecessarily.
Can you renovate only one section of the yard?
Yes. A renovation can focus on a front yard, backyard, side yard, slope, park strip, planting area, or another specific problem area. The surrounding landscape should still be considered so the updated section feels connected.
Can you make an existing yard more water-wise?
Yes. We can reduce unnecessary lawn, update sprinkler and drip zones, introduce native or drought-tolerant plants, improve planting-bed coverage, and use decorative materials more strategically.
Can you improve an overgrown landscape?
Yes. Overgrown yards can often be improved by removing failing or overcrowded plants, restoring bed lines, opening sightlines, replacing worn materials, and selecting plants with more appropriate mature sizes.
Can landscape renovation help with drainage problems?
It can, depending on the source of the problem. The renovation may include grading adjustments, drainage routes, retention areas, irrigation changes, or modifications to the surrounding landscape.
Can renovation work be completed in phases?
Yes. Larger renovations can often be divided into phases. The overall layout should still be considered early so drainage, irrigation, access, and future improvements work together.
