Steel & planting · Riverton & the Salt Lake Valley
We plant trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials chosen for the Salt Lake Valley's heat, cold and clay — and spaced for what they become, not what they look like on delivery day.
We also deliver and place topsoil, bark and decorative rock for beds.
Planting beds and boulders around a mountain-modern home — one of our own jobs.

How we do it
For sun, shade, soil and how much water you want to use — and for how big they get.
Amend where needed and lay out spacing before anything goes in the ground.
Planted at the right depth and connected to drip so each plant gets water at the root.
Utah weather & soil
Salt Lake Valley summers are hot and dry, winters freeze hard, and much of the valley sits on heavy clay. Plants that suit all three — and are watered at the root by drip instead of sprayed — establish faster and use far less water.
Before any planting hole or trench is dug, buried utilities need to be marked through Blue Stakes of Utah (811). That step is easy to skip and expensive to regret.
What it costs
We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

“It's really nice to have the same company that takes care of my yard do the improvements.”
I've been using MP Lawn Care for probably 5 years now and I'm not sure how I'd survive without them. It's also really nice to have the same company that takes care of my yard do the improvements for the yard (planting trees, installing fencing, and taking care of the sprinklers.) I'd totally recommend using them.
Questions
Spring and fall are easiest on plants. Summer planting works with careful watering.
