One of Davis County's most distinctive bench communities β outdoor living to match.
Fruit Heights is one of the smallest incorporated cities in Utah, and also one of the most distinctive. Named for the fruit orchards that once defined the bench land here, it sits above Kaysville and Bountiful on the Davis County east bench with views that are hard to match. The properties in Fruit Heights tend to be larger, the homes well-built, and the homeowners invested in the quality of their surroundings. That's an environment where quality outdoor work finds a natural home.
The bench land character of Fruit Heights β its orchard heritage, the large lots, the elevation above the valley β means that projects here often have an old-growth quality to them. Mature trees, established drainage patterns, irrigated lots with history. Working in that environment requires a crew that pays attention to what's already there and builds in a way that honors it rather than steamrolling it.
We do paver patios, retaining walls, and concrete work in Fruit Heights on a regular basis. The grade changes on bench lots here can be significant β the transition from house-level to lower yard often involves meaningful elevation change that requires thoughtful design. The goal is always to turn that grade into a feature, not fight against it. Terraced outdoor living spaces on a Fruit Heights lot can be genuinely spectacular.
The views west from Fruit Heights β over the lake and toward the Nevada desert on clear days β are worth designing outdoor living space around. We've done patios and fire features here specifically sited to frame that view, and the homeowners who made that investment use their patios constantly from late spring through the first serious snowfall.

Fruit Heights bench soils have the characteristic gravel and cobble profile of the ancient Bonneville lake terrace. The terrain slopes west toward the valley, which means water drains naturally in the right direction β but the rate of that drainage depends on grade and surface. Rock is frequently encountered in excavation here, and the presence of old orchard irrigation systems (some dating back decades) is a consideration on many properties. We locate and mark existing irrigation before any excavation.
EC Scaping is based in Hooper, Utah β 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. Fruit Heights 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 β 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 Fruit Heights and the surrounding Davis County communities. If you don't see your neighborhood listed, call us β our service area extends throughout the region.
Yes. Fruit Heights is part of our regular Davis County service area. The bench properties here are some of the most interesting sites we work on in Davis County.
We locate existing irrigation lines before excavation β either by asking the homeowner to show us what they know, by tracing visible components, or by careful probing. Old irrigation on Fruit Heights properties is common and we work around it rather than destroying it wherever possible.
Paver patios with west-facing orientation to take advantage of the lake view are probably the most popular. Retaining wall systems to create usable terraced backyard space are a close second. Many Fruit Heights projects combine both.
Yes. We design with the existing site character in mind rather than imposing a generic suburban hardscape aesthetic. On Fruit Heights properties with mature trees and established gardens, we design to complement what's already there.
Yes. We've worked on compact bench lots throughout Davis County where staging is tight. We plan the equipment and material delivery schedule carefully to minimize disruption to neighboring properties.
Fruit Heights City has building permit requirements for retaining walls above a certain height and for grading changes. We handle the permit process as part of the project.
EC Scaping serves Weber, Davis, Morgan, Box Elder, and Summit counties. Explore our other service area pages β every community gets the same crew, the same standards, and the same commitment.
Free consultation, honest estimate, no pressure. We'll come to your property, assess the site, and give you a clear picture of what we'd build and what it costs.
