Complete Outdoor Environments for Murray Homeowners
Murray sits at the center of the Salt Lake Valley, surrounded by established residential neighborhoods where mature properties, varied lot grades, and aging irrigation systems are common starting points for a landscape renovation. Black Diamond works with Murray homeowners to plan and build complete outdoor environments — coordinating design, construction, hardscapes, outdoor living, lighting, and irrigation from a single point of accountability.
Existing-yard renovation
Most Murray projects begin with an existing yard that needs to be reimagined — removing outdated hardscapes, regrading for drainage, and rebuilding with durable materials and coordinated systems.
Drainage and grading
Salt Lake Valley properties experience significant seasonal precipitation and snowmelt. Proper grading and drainage planning protects foundations, hardscapes, and planting investments.
Irrigation modernization
Many Murray properties have aging sprinkler systems with coverage gaps, pressure issues, and inefficient controllers. We design and install modern systems with smart controls and efficient hydrozoning.
Outdoor entertainment spaces
Murray homeowners frequently want to extend their living space outdoors — patios, pergolas, fire features, outdoor kitchens, and entertainment areas designed for Utah's climate.
Retaining and elevation changes
Grade transitions are common across Salt Lake Valley properties. We design and build segmental retaining walls, boulder walls, and terraced outdoor areas that manage elevation changes durably.
Trade coordination
Complete landscape renovations involve multiple systems — hardscapes, irrigation, planting, lighting, and outdoor structures. Black Diamond coordinates all trades under one contract.
The design-build process
One Design-Build Team from Concept to Completion
Black Diamond manages every phase of the project under one accountable team — eliminating the coordination gaps that occur when design and construction are handled by separate companies.
01
Project qualification
We review your property details, goals, and approximate scope to determine whether the project is a fit for our team and process.
02
Site consultation
A site visit to evaluate topography, drainage, sun exposure, existing structures, and how you intend to use the space.
03
Design and scope development
2D site plans and 3D renderings showing hardscape layout, planting areas, irrigation zones, lighting locations, and grading — the working document for construction.
04
Material and system coordination
Paving materials, wall systems, plant species, irrigation components, and lighting fixtures are specified and coordinated with your budget and site conditions.
05
Construction scheduling
A dedicated project coordinator communicates schedule, material deliveries, and progress throughout the build.
06
Excavation and base preparation
Demolition, grading, drainage, and base preparation precede all hardscape and structural work — the most important factor in long-term performance in Utah's climate.
07
Hardscape and structural work
Paver patios, retaining walls, steps, outdoor structures, and concrete flatwork are installed with proper base depth and compaction for freeze-thaw durability.
08
Irrigation, planting, and lighting
Irrigation and lighting systems are installed before final grading and planting — for clean routing, proper coverage, and a professional finished appearance.
09
Quality-control walkthrough
A final walkthrough with the project coordinator to confirm all work meets scope, quality, and performance expectations before closeout.

Why Black Diamond
Why Murray Homeowners Work with Black Diamond
Design and construction under one contract
When design and construction are managed by the same team, the gap between what is drawn and what is built disappears. Scope, materials, and sequencing are resolved before construction begins.
Complex-project capability
Projects involving multiple systems — hardscapes, retaining walls, outdoor living, irrigation, and lighting — require coordination that a single-trade contractor cannot provide. Black Diamond manages all of it.
Realistic scope development
We develop scope based on your actual site conditions, not a generic template. Drainage, grading, base preparation, and material selection are addressed before pricing is finalized.
Lighting incorporated before finish work
Conduit and wire runs are placed during construction — before final grading — so the finished landscape has no exposed wiring and no disruption to completed hardscapes.
Drainage and irrigation coordination
Drainage and irrigation are designed and installed as part of the overall landscape plan — not added after hardscapes are complete — for clean routing and long-term performance.
Clear client communication
A dedicated project coordinator communicates schedule, material deliveries, and progress throughout the build. You know what is happening and when.
