Landscapes for Living Nicely
We design gardens, pools, and outdoor spaces that make home feel even better.
Our Services
Garden Design
A well-designed garden brings beauty, comfort, and a little everyday delight right to your doorstep. It turns an ordinary yard into a place for morning coffee, barefoot afternoons, fresh-picked herbs, and evenings under the stars.
At Nicely, we design gardens with color, rhythm, and a natural sense of order. Every tree, shrub, flower, and pathway is chosen to suit your home, your lifestyle, and the Utah climate. Native and water-wise plants provide lasting structure, while flowers and grasses add movement, fragrance, and cheerful bursts of color.
Whether your yard is spacious or compact, newly built or ready for a fresh start, thoughtful garden design can make it feel complete. Beautiful to look at, pleasant to live in, and planned to grow nicely.
A Fresh New Way to Garden
Outdoor Kitchens
Fire Up the Good Life
An outdoor kitchen turns the backyard into the happiest room in the house. It is a place for sizzling suppers, cool drinks, fresh air and long evenings around the table.
At Nicely, we design outdoor kitchens that feel comfortable, capable and right at home in the landscape. Grills, pizza ovens, sinks, counters, storage and seating are arranged for easy cooking and effortless entertaining. Materials are selected to complement the house, stand up to Utah weather and look handsome through every season.
From a simple grilling station to a complete open-air kitchen, every detail is planned around the way you like to gather. Good food, good company and everything you need close at hand. Dinner tastes better outdoors.
Hardscapes
A Smarter Way to Shape the Outdoors
Good hardscape gives the garden structure, comfort and a handsome sense of order. Patios become places to gather, paths make every corner feel connected, and carefully placed walls, steps and edges bring the whole landscape neatly together.
At Nicely, we design hardscape to suit the architecture of the home and the way you live outdoors. Concrete, stone, gravel and permeable pavers are arranged with clean lines, pleasing proportions and just the right amount of character. Every surface is considered for movement, drainage, durability and year-round use in Utah’s climate.
From a crisp modern courtyard to a relaxed flagstone walk, the goal is always the same: create outdoor spaces that feel useful, welcoming and built to belong. Beautiful underfoot, practical every day and designed to look good for years to come.
Pool Design
Make a Splash at Home
A beautifully designed pool turns the backyard into a private vacation spot. It is a place for sunny afternoons, cool evening swims, cannonballs, quiet floats and good times that seem to last all summer.
At Nicely, we design pools as part of the entire landscape. The shape, decking, spa, steps, seating and surrounding garden are planned together so everything feels comfortable, connected and right at home. We consider circulation, sun, shade, views, safety and the way your family likes to spend time outdoors.
From a crisp modern pool to a playful retreat with a slide, diving board or bubbling spa, every detail is arranged for easy living and lasting enjoyment. Bright water, inviting spaces and plenty of room for fun. Just add sunshine.
Lighting Plans
Turn On the Charm
The right lighting gives the landscape a whole new life after sunset. Paths become inviting, trees take on a sculptural glow, and patios feel ready for one more conversation beneath the stars.
At Nicely, we design outdoor lighting to make every evening feel warm, comfortable and beautifully composed. Path lights guide the way, step lights improve safety, and carefully placed uplights reveal the shape and character of trees, planting and architecture. Each fixture is selected and positioned to provide useful illumination without overpowering the night.
From a softly lit garden walk to a glowing Japanese maple or a crisp modern stairway, every detail is planned to create depth, atmosphere and just the right amount of sparkle. Elegant, practical and ready to shine when the sun goes down.
Putting Green
Putt a Little Fun in the Backyard
A custom putting green brings the pleasure of the course right outside your door. It is a handsome place to practice your stroke, challenge the family and enjoy a quiet round whenever the mood strikes.
At Nicely, we design putting greens to feel like a natural part of the landscape. The contours, hole locations, fringe, bunkers, pathways and surrounding planting are arranged for realistic play and an attractive garden setting. Each green is planned around the available space, desired difficulty and the way you want to use your yard.
From a compact practice green to a lively short-game retreat, every detail is shaped for smooth play and lasting enjoyment. Step outside, line it up and give it your best shot.
