Salt Lake City Landscape Architects & Designers
Where the Wasatch Shapes Everything
Salt Lake City sits in a basin ringed by peaks, and that geography is never far from mind. At EBD Studios, our landscape architects design outdoor spaces that answer to this particular setting: the scale of the mountains, the clarity of high desert light, and the four distinct seasons that make every material choice matter.
Designed Around the View You Can't Ignore
No site in Salt Lake City exists in isolation. The Wasatch Range frames every backyard, every terrace, every morning cup of coffee. Our landscape architects treat that presence as a design partner, orienting spaces to capture it, using plant selection and hardscape to complement it rather than compete with it. We work with the land's existing logic first. Grade, sun exposure, prevailing wind, and soil all inform the design before a single material is chosen.
Built for a Climate of Extremes
Salt Lake City asks a lot of a landscape. Summers run hot and dry. Winters bring heavy snow and sustained freezing temperatures. Spring arrives fast and wet. A well-designed outdoor space performs through all of it without apology. Our planting palettes favor native and regionally adapted species that handle drought, cold, and alkaline soils with ease. Hardscape materials are chosen for their ability to endure freeze-thaw cycles without compromise. The result is a landscape that looks intentional in every season, not just July.
A Space Shaped by How You Actually Use It
Salt Lake residents move between the indoors and outdoors with ease, and the best outdoor spaces reflect that rhythm. A shaded patio for summer evenings. A fire feature that extends the season well into fall. Planting that offers color and texture even under a January snow. Our Salt Lake City landscape designers take time to understand how you inhabit your property before drawing a single line. The details that matter most are always the ones specific to you.

Water Feature Design
Water carries particular weight in the high desert. We design fountains, reflecting pools, and naturalistic water features that bring sound and movement to Salt Lake City landscapes, integrating with drought-adapted plantings and the regional stone and masonry materials that feel native to this basin.
Patio Design
Patios in Salt Lake City must perform across a wide seasonal range. Our designs account for snow load, freeze-thaw movement, intense summer sun, and shifting wind patterns, with material selections in natural stone, porcelain, and concrete that hold their integrity through years of real Utah weather.
Backyard Design
Comprehensive backyard design turns underused space into a sequence of purposeful outdoor rooms. We develop cohesive layouts that balance hardscape with drought-tolerant, cold-hardy plantings, incorporating fire features, seating zones, and lighting that makes the most of Salt Lake's remarkable evening skies.
Residential Landscape Architecture
Full-property landscape architecture addresses sloped terrain, drainage from seasonal snowmelt, circulation patterns, and outdoor living integration across the entire site. We develop complete designs that hold together as a unified whole while keeping the Wasatch views that define life in this valley exactly where they belong.
