Horse properties, large lots, and east bench homes — hardscape that fits the land.
Kaysville is one of those Northern Utah communities where the lots are big enough to actually do something with. We're not talking about cramming a patio into a postage stamp — we're talking about properties with half an acre to several acres, many of them with horses, mature fruit trees, irrigated pasture, and views east toward the Wasatch and west toward the lake. That scale of project plays to our strengths.
A lot of what we do in Kaysville is comprehensive outdoor living design — not just a patio, but a coordinated outdoor environment. Fire pit area with paver surround, pergola pad, concrete driveway approach, boulder retaining wall on the slope behind the house, xeriscape conversion in the front yard to save water. We've done that full package on Kaysville properties more than once, and it's the kind of project our crew genuinely enjoys because you can see the transformation.
Horse properties have their own requirements. Fencing intersects with landscaping, irrigation gets complicated, and you have to think carefully about hardscape near animal areas — drainage from paddocks and corrals matters, and concrete aprons around gates and high-traffic zones hold up better than decomposed granite in that kind of use. We've worked on equestrian properties throughout Davis County and understand how those functional requirements shape the design.
East bench Kaysville — the areas up toward the foothills and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail — tends to have better-draining soil and more dramatic grade changes. That means retaining walls are common, and the views from up there justify putting investment into outdoor living spaces that take advantage of the elevation. A well-placed paver patio and fire pit area on a bench property in Kaysville gets used constantly on warm evenings.

Kaysville sits on the eastern slope of the Wasatch Front's Davis County section, with terrain that transitions from irrigated valley floor to rocky bench. The bench soils drain reasonably well but require assessment for depth to hardpan before spec'ing base systems for patios and drives. We pull a lot of rock on east Kaysville jobs — it's not unusual to hit significant rock layers well within the patio excavation depth, which affects schedule and equipment choices.
EC Scaping is based in Hooper, Utah — right in the middle of the Weber-Davis County market we serve. We\'re not a Salt Lake City contractor stretching north to fill capacity. Kaysville is our territory, and we\'ve built enough projects here to know what works and what doesn\'t in this specific environment.
Over a decade of building in Northern Utah's freeze-thaw climate. We spec base depth, drainage, and materials for where we are, not a generic national standard.
We price jobs accurately the first time. What we quote is what you pay — no low-ball bids followed by change orders that get you where they planned to be all along.
Utah contractor's license, full general liability, and workers' comp on every project. Our credentials are available on request before any contract is signed.
We work throughout Kaysville and the surrounding Davis County communities. If you don't see your neighborhood listed, call us — our service area extends throughout the region.
Yes, large-lot projects are something we handle regularly. We approach multi-acre properties in phases — prioritizing the areas around the home first, then addressing the larger property over time as budget allows. We'll give you a full-property concept so each phase builds toward a coherent end result.
Yes. We locate and mark existing irrigation before any excavation and work around it wherever possible. If a line needs to be relocated, we handle that as part of the project scope. Keeping existing irrigation intact saves you money and avoids starting a separate project.
It depends on height, load, and aesthetic. Boulder walls look great on larger rural lots and handle significant height in the right conditions. Concrete block (CMU or engineered block) gives you more precision and is required above certain heights by engineering standards. We'll recommend based on your specific site after the assessment.
Yes, and Kaysville is a great candidate for xeriscape conversion given Davis County's water rates and the HOA restrictions that are common in the area. We design xeriscape front yards that look intentional and attractive — not just a gravel dump. Native and low-water species that are appropriate for zone 5-6 conditions.
Grade transitions at the street are common in Kaysville, especially on bench lots. We engineer the approach slope to meet ADA and local driveway grade standards, use compacted base to stabilize the transition, and pour or set the surface appropriately for the vehicle load. If there's a significant elevation change, we may include a small retaining wall at the street grade.
Some Kaysville subdivisions have HOAs with landscape and hardscape standards — material restrictions, height limits on walls, and front yard requirements. We work within HOA guidelines regularly and can help you navigate the approval process if your project requires it. It's something we flag early in the planning conversation.
