WUI-Compliant Landscape Planning and Design for Park City, Utah.

Protect your property.
Meet code.
Design beautifully.

We specialize in creating WUI-compliant landscapes that satisfy code—without compromising aesthetics.

Wildfire risk is no longer theoretical in Park City—it’s a defining factor in how properties are designed, built, and approved. The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code introduces strict vegetation, defensible space, and ignition zone requirements that directly impact landscape design.

Whether you're designing, building, buying, or selling property in Park City, WUI compliance is now essential.

  • Required for new construction and qualifying remodels

  • Impacts site planning, plant selection, and layout

  • Directly affects permitting, approvals, and inspections

  • Influences long-term property value and insurability
