Sprinkler Repair & Landscaping in Draper, Utah

Draper climbs from the valley floor near the Jordan River all the way up to SunCrest on Traverse Ridge, and conditions change a lot along the way. A yard in the Draper Historic District near Pioneer Road is a very different job from a home on the slopes above Corner Canyon or South Mountain.

Much of east Draper is built on old Lake Bonneville shoreline benches, so the ground is full of gravel, cobble, and rock. That soil drains fast, which means lawns dry out quickly in July and August, and running a new sprinkler line often means digging around rock. On sloped lots we set heads and run times so water soaks in instead of running down the hill. For rock beds and shrubs, we often recommend drip lines instead of spray heads.

Elevation matters too. SunCrest sits well above the valley, so it usually freezes earlier in the fall and gets more snow than the rest of Draper. We schedule SunCrest blowouts early in the season and plan snow routes around steep driveways. Down near the Point of the Mountain, steady winds can push sprinkler spray off target and dry out lawns, so we adjust nozzles and watering times to match.

Some Draper neighborhoods also use secondary irrigation water, which shuts off for the season in the fall. If your home has it, we'll time your blowout around that shut-off date.
