The best time depends on your goals and Utah’s seasons. Spring and early summer are peak times for planting and hardscape installation, but crews book quickly. Fall is excellent for planting trees and shrubs, giving them time to establish roots before winter. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, winter projects are possible for hardscaping if the ground isn’t frozen, but plant installation should wait. Beyond seasons, timing also depends on your budget and schedule. If you’re planning to sell your home, improving landscaping before listing can increase curb appeal and value. If your irrigation system is failing or drainage is damaging your home, don’t wait — address it immediately. The right time is when you’ve planned thoroughly, budgeted realistically, and secured a contractor who can commit to your schedule. Planning ahead ensures availability and smoother results.
