West Haven is one of Weber County's newer west-side cities, full of recent subdivisions on flat ground. Felter Landscape is often the first crew to touch these yards, building complete landscapes from bare builder dirt.
West Haven has boomed with new-build subdivisions on the flat west side, where most yards arrive as a blank slate of graded dirt with nothing planted at all. The terrain is level, and the soils trend sandier and more loamy than the heavy bench clay to the east, which drains well but can need amending to hold moisture. Lots in these newer neighborhoods tend to be moderate-sized rather than acreage, asking for efficient, complete designs. The city sits out toward the Great Salt Lake wetlands at roughly 4,300 feet in Zone 6b, so wind off the flats and irrigation efficiency both factor into how a yard should be built.

West Haven landscaping questions
My new West Haven home is just bare dirt out back. Where do we start?
From the ground up, which is our favorite way to work. We start with a design for the whole lot, then grade, run irrigation, install hardscape, and finish with sod, so you go from builder dirt to a complete yard in one coordinated project.
Does West Haven's sandy soil change how you build?
Yes. The lighter, sandier soil out toward the wetlands drains fast and can struggle to hold water, so we amend it and design tighter irrigation zones. That keeps a new lawn from drying out in the wind that comes off the flats.
