Riverdale sits low along the Weber River, where the ground is flat and low-lying properties near the river can need extra drainage planning. Felter Landscape builds here with that in mind, because hardscape is only as good as the base underneath it.
Riverdale follows the Weber River along the south end of the county, and the river defines the ground. Properties near the Riverdale Weber River Parkway Trail and the Riverdale Bike Park on Weber River Drive sit lowest, close to the river corridor, so drainage planning and proper base preparation are the first priority rather than an afterthought. Further from the corridor, around Golden Spike Park on 5050 South and the newer streets off Parker Drive, the ground sits higher above the river bottoms. The city is split by the Riverdale Road retail corridor, so residential streets range from long-established homes to newer infill built on bare graded lots. Elevation is about 4,350 feet in Zone 6b, among the lowest ground Felter works.

What we build in Riverdale
Riverdale landscaping questions
My Riverdale lot sits low near the river. Does that change what you can build?
It changes how we build it, not what. Low-lying ground near the river can hold moisture longer, so drainage planning and proper base preparation under any patio or wall come first. Get that right and the finished hardscape sits as solid here as anywhere on the bench.
Can you do a full yard on a newer Riverdale infill lot?
Yes, and start to finish is the cleanest way. Newer infill parcels usually come as bare graded dirt, so we design the whole lot, then grade, run irrigation, install the hardscape, and finish with sod, leaving a complete yard rather than a project you keep adding to for three seasons.
