Durability depends on design quality, materials, and installation practices. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil put stress on hardscapes, while drought restrictions challenge plantings. A professional landscaper should account for these factors by using compacted gravel bases under pavers, proper drainage around retaining walls, and drought-tolerant plants suited for Utah’s Zone 6 climate. Done right, patios and walls can last decades, and trees can thrive for generations. The key is choosing a company that balances beauty with function and explains how they build for longevity in Utah conditions.
