About · 1981 – 2026
Forty-five years of Utah craft.
Scenic View Landscape has been quietly shaping the Wasatch Front since 1981, one yard, one season, one family at a time.
Our founder
LeRoy Larsen, founder.
LeRoy Larsen was born and raised in Salt Lake City. As a young boy, the widows in his ward all wanted LeRoy, for his landscaping skills.
"My love for landscaping started back when I was a kid, probably twelve or thirteen years old. I always got volunteered to work at all the old widows' houses in our ward. My mom and dad always taught me to do a good job. They never had some of the other boys come back, it was always a war between the widows in the ward to have LeRoy come and take care of their lawn."
Shortly after marrying Barbara, his high school sweetheart, LeRoy founded Scenic View Landscape in 1981.
"I wanted to provide for my family so that Barbara could stay home with our children."

Sustainability
A real commitment to water-wise design.
Utah is the second-driest state in the country, and we design with that reality at the center of every plan. Our water-wise installs use native and drought-tolerant species, smart hydrozoning, drip irrigation, and high-efficiency controllers, typically reducing outdoor water use by 30–60%.
We're QWEL-certified, our designers include Utah State University Master Gardeners, and we maintain a working palette of Utah-native plants we love to specify.
