About - Layton, UT

Layton, Utah, stretches 22.50 square miles with a population of 84,496 as of 2025. Founded in the 1850s as an extension of Kaysville, the city was incorporated in 1920 and became Davis County’s largest city after Hill Air Force Base was established in 1940, and growth exploded.

You can hike Adams Canyon Trail through scrub oak foothills, cross seasonal streams, and end up at a 40-foot waterfall cascading over layered sandstone. Or walk the boardwalks at Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve at dawn and spot Wilson’s phalaropes and avocets from an observation tower over the marshlands.

The city comes alive each July 4th during Liberty Days. Pancake breakfasts and a 5K run precede parades featuring local high school bands. As the sun sets, crowds gather at Commons Park for synchronized fireworks reflecting off the Vietnam Memorial Wall Replica’s granite.

Happy Customers in Layton, UT

We had had a 60 year old maple tree taken out and ground down by another company. However, when we went to to put sod in, we realized there were still a lot of big roots that still needed to be removed before we could plant the sod. Wade came by and removed the roots with his equipment and in less than an hour the job was done. He is very skilled at working a backhoe, he did not leave a mess. I would recommend him for any landscaping project. My project was small but I was very happy with the results and it was done in timely manner. You won’t be disappointed

You'd be hard to find a better team of Wade and Sam. Our backyard was hard to get to, they were patient, let us know everything ahead of time and did an awesome job making our landscape the way we wanted it. Wade and Sam also gave honest expectations and vision of reality. They are honest and great guys. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm convinced that Tough Terrain Landscaping is the absolute best out there! I can't imagine how any company could be better. They are skilled, they communicate well, they do fantastic work, and they are always so friendly and personable. They have done several jobs for us and we couldn't be happier. If you choose them to work on your property you'll be glad you did.

Wade and Sam Are great to work with. They listen to your concerns, answer your questions. Do everything in a timely manner. Highly recommend them. And if I ever move I will use them again and I still will use them again in the future at this place for whatever my needs are.

Sam and Wade with Tough Terrain were excellent! Responsive, on time, and such hard workers. They were professional and handled any unexpected events so well. My yard looks amazing and I’m so happy with the results. Would absolutely recommend!

Adrienne P.

These guys were great! They graded my yard a million times better than I ever could have myself with a tractor. The patio they put in my backyard was exactly what I wanted and looks amazing! They also replaced part of my cement walkway to the backyard that was cracked and made it look good as new. Plus they finished ahead of schedule. Would highly recommend!
