Marriott-Slaterville sits on the open valley floor just west of Ogden, where farm ground and subdivisions share the same flat, generous parcels. Felter Landscape works the cities on every side of it, and this is the kind of wide, unobstructed lot where a full design can actually stretch out.
Marriott-Slaterville runs along the west side of Ogden on ground that has stayed largely agricultural, with working fields still sitting between newer subdivisions rather than around them. Parcels here tend to be wide and level, from the streets near Slaterville Park on 2250 West across to the City Hall Park and Venture Academy area on 1500 West. The soil is the same deep, farm-influenced clay-loam that runs through Farr West and Plain City, which takes sod and new plantings well once it is properly graded. At roughly 4,250 feet in Zone 6b the season matches the rest of the valley floor, and with almost no natural windbreak out here, exposure and irrigation planning carry more weight than they do on the sheltered bench.

Marriott-Slaterville landscaping questions
My Marriott-Slaterville lot is mostly open field. Where does a design even start?
With a plan for the whole parcel before anything gets installed. Wide open ground gives you options a bench lot never has, so we set the structure first, where the patio sits, where the lawn ends, where the planting screens the wind, then build outward from there instead of filling space piece by piece.
Does the flat ground out here cause drainage problems?
It can. Level valley-floor ground sheds water slowly, so the grading matters more than the planting. We pitch patios and lawns to move water away from the house and off your usable space, which on flat farm ground is the difference between a yard you can walk on in spring and one that stays soft for weeks.
