Planning a new landscape for your Heber home? One of the first questions that comes up is: “How much will it cost?” While every project is unique, there are a few core factors that influence landscaping prices in Utah’s mountain communities.
1. Property Size and Terrain
The bigger the space, the more labor and materials required. Flat, accessible yards are typically less expensive to landscape than sloped or rocky terrain that requires grading, excavation, or retaining walls.
2. Type of Materials
Material choice has a huge impact on price. Flagstone patios, high-end pavers, and composite decking cost more than gravel or bark mulch. Native plants may cost more up front but save money long term through reduced watering and maintenance.
3. Irrigation and Sprinkler System
Adding a sprinkler system or drip irrigation increases upfront costs, especially if trenching or smart tech is involved. However, it also adds convenience and long-term lawn health benefits.
4. Design Complexity
A simple lawn and garden bed is much more affordable than a custom outdoor kitchen, water feature, or tiered backyard with lighting and hardscaping. Intricate designs require more time and skilled labor.
5. Access and Site Prep
Tight access points, tree removals, or demolition of existing landscaping will all affect the final price. Homes on hillsides or near water features often require special equipment.
6. Permits and Regulations
Depending on your city and HOA, some projects—like large retaining walls or outdoor structures—require permits, which add to both the timeline and cost.
7. Labor and Time of Year
Spring and summer are peak seasons, which can affect pricing and scheduling. Planning in the off-season may save money and lock in availability.
