Honest pricing, quality work and a crew that stays in touch: what customers mention.

I recently hired Kyle to put in an underground drain line for a downspout along with stone slab steps in front of our home. I am beyond impressed. Kyle and team are pleasant to work with and are constantly in touch with you to ensure the result is what you expect. It’s so refreshing to work with someone who is passionate about what they do and care about the quality. I definitely would recommend.

I highly recommend KTS Improvements for their exceptional landscaping services. Their promptness, friendly approach, and transparent communication set them apart. Unlike other companies, KTS provided honest consultations and pricing. The team’s dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in their efficient and high-quality work. I plan to use KTS again for future landscaping needs. Overall, a reliable and skilled choice for any outdoor project.

Season by season

Building around a Cedar City year

What we build in each season. It opens on the season we are in now.

Spring, March to May

New yards once the ground thaws

Spring is when new homes get their yards. Grading, sprinkler lines, sod, rock and front walks go in as soon as the ground is workable.

  • Front and backyards for new homes
  • Sprinkler lines and sod
  • Paver walks to the front door
  • Drainage before the spring storms

Questions

What people ask on the first call

Not answered here? Call (978) 660-5778 and ask.

Are estimates free?

Yes. We come out to walk the yard and measure, or price a simple job from photos, and you get the price before any work starts.

Do you design the yard or just build it?

Both. We are a design and build company: we plan the layout with you, then do every part of the build ourselves.

Can you landscape a brand new home?

Yes. Most of our yards start as bare dirt around a new home, front and back.

Do you do your own dirt work?

Yes. Grading, digging and hauling are done by our own crew and machines, so the job does not wait on another company.

Which towns do you serve?

Cedar City, Enoch, Parowan, Kanarraville, New Harmony and Summit.
