Landscape design and build · Lehi, Utah

From bare dirt to backyard.

Custom landscapes for new homes in Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and north Utah County. We design the whole yard up front, then build it in phases that fit your budget.

  • Built in phases
  • 3D design first
  • Water-wise by default

See it before it's built

Your whole yard, planned before the first shovel.

Every project starts with a plan like this one. Then you'll walk through it in 3D, so you know the patio fits the furniture, the lawn fits the kids, and phase two never means tearing out phase one.

How the design works
Sample backyard planAn overhead plan of a typical Lehi backyard: 1, a paver patio off the back door; 2, a fire pit with a curved seat wall, reached by stepping stones; 3, a lawn with sprinklers; 4, water-wise planting beds along the fence; 5, shade trees. HOUSE N 1 2 3 4 5

Why Sagebrush & Stone

Plan it right. See it first. Build it smart.

  • 01

    One plan, built in phases

    We design the whole yard up front, then build it in stages as your budget allows. Every phase fits the plan, so nothing gets torn out later.

  • 02

    See it in 3D first

    Walk through your new yard on screen before any digging starts. Move the patio, swap the plants, and change your mind while it's still free.

  • 03

    Water-wise by default

    Plants and sprinklers chosen for Utah County's clay soil, hot summers, and water rules, so the yard stays green without a shocking water bill.

What projects usually cost

Honest numbers, up front.

Every yard is different, so your estimate is free and specific to you. But here's what Utah County families usually spend.

Landscape design

$750

Credited toward your build if you build with us.

Sod and sprinklers for a backyard

usually$6k–$12k

Grading, soil prep, a zoned sprinkler system, and fresh sod.

Paver patio

usually$5k–$15k

Depends on size, stone, and extras like steps or a seat wall.

Full backyard

usually$20k–$45k

Design, patio, lawn, planting beds, and trees, built all at once or in phases.

Build it in phases

Start with what matters most now, and add the rest when you're ready. It all follows the same plan.

  1. Get off the dirtGrading, sprinklers, and sod, so the kids have somewhere to play.
  2. Make it livableThe patio, walkways, and fire pit.
  3. Make it beautifulTrees, water-wise beds, and finishing touches.

Ranges are typical for Utah County backyards and depend on size, access, and materials. You'll get a written estimate before any work starts.

How it works

Four steps from dirt to done.

  1. Free estimate visit

    We walk your yard with you, talk through ideas and budget, and take measurements.

    About 45 minutes
  2. Your 3D design

    Megan designs the whole yard and walks you through it in 3D. Two rounds of changes are included.

    1–2 weeks
  3. The build

    Luis and the crew build it, phase by phase if you like, and keep you updated along the way.

    2–4 weeks for most backyards
  4. Final walkthrough

    We tour the finished yard together and leave you a simple watering and care guide.

    Care guide included

Design this winter, build this spring. We build March through November and design all year, and spring build dates fill up fast.

Meet the team

Hi, I'm Megan. I've been in your shoes.

When we moved into our new home in Lehi, the backyard was a rectangle of dirt and a lot of good intentions. I'd spent years designing landscapes for big neighborhood projects, so I drew up a plan for our own yard and built it in phases.

Then the neighbors started knocking. In 2019, I started Sagebrush & Stone to do the same for other families.

The best backyards aren't built all at once. They're planned all at once.
