Riverton, UT — south Salt Lake County

Twelve things, one Riverton crew.

Joel Velazquez and a six-person crew, twenty-one years out of Riverton. Mowing in July. Sprinkler blowouts in October. Plowing the driveway at five in the morning. Same number, same crew, all twelve.

About JV Landscaping

Twenty-one years working Riverton yards.

JV stands for Joel Velazquez. The crew started in Riverton around 2003 — one truck, one Velazquez, a lot of Kentucky bluegrass and a sprinkler clock that needed re-wiring.

Two decades later it's six of us. Same phone number. Same trucks rolling out of the same driveway off Bangerter at six in the morning. We pick up the line, we show up when we say, and we don't tell you to call a specialist for something we can already do.

The full list is on the next page — twelve services, all under one roof. If your yard needs it through the year, we already handle it.

Twelve services, one phone call. That's the whole pitch.

Everything outdoors — Riverton

The full twelve, plainly.

Most outfits do three things and refer the rest. We do all twelve, in-house, the same crew on every visit.

No. 01spring

Three we get asked about most

The headline jobs.

Out of the twelve, these three drive the calendar. The rest fill in around them.

  • from from $45

    Weekly lawn care

    Mow, edge, blow, trim, hauled-out. Kentucky bluegrass cut taller through July heat. Same crew, same slot, same morning every week.

  • from from $75

    Sprinkler turn-on & October blowout

    April turn-on every zone tested at full pressure. October blowout, lines pulled to dry before the freeze. Repairs in between.

  • from from $55

    Snow removal — 2" trigger

    Residential driveways and walks. We're already up at six. Big storms get two and three passes through the event.

pop-up headvalve manifold20 min

Twenty minutes, controller to manifold to heads.

Sprinkler specialty

Twenty minutes to find what's wrong.

Most irrigation calls don’t need a guess. A controller, a multimeter, a pressure gauge, and a walk of the heads will name the failure inside twenty minutes. Joel runs the diagnostic himself — it’s the part of the trade he’s done longest.

  1. Controller test

    Every zone fired from the box. Watching for clicks at the manifold versus dead air.

  2. Solenoid + wire

    Multimeter at each valve. Cut wires, bad solenoids, and corroded splices show up here.

  3. Pressure + heads

    PSI at the source, then walk the heads. Clogged nozzles, broken risers, drifted spray pattern.

  4. Named cause

    Written diagnosis on the spot, with parts. Most fixes happen the same visit.

Sprinkler line

(801) 893-1148

April turn-ons book up first. October blowouts close out by mid-month.

How a call goes

What working with us looks like.

  1. 01

    You call the number

    Joel or one of the crew picks up. If we're under a hood we'll call back same day.

  2. 02

    We walk the yard

    We come out, take a look, ask the questions that change the number. Free for any work inside the service area.

  3. 03

    Written estimate

    Plain number, line-item, no surprise upsells. Most jobs land within a week or two.

  4. 04

    Scheduled & done

    We pick a window with you and show up in it. Big jobs run multiple days; the crew stays consistent.

  5. 05

    Walkthrough + invoice

    We don't leave until you've walked it and nodded. Cash, card, Venmo, Zelle.

That’s it. No portals, no logins — a phone call or an email is all it takes.

Where we run trucks

South Salt Lake County, Wasatch to Bangerter.

Riverton is home base. The trucks roll Bangerter and Mountain View Corridor most days; Wasatch foothills to the east, the I-15 line on the far side of Draper. We don't haul up the canyon grade and we don't take Sandy routes — staying tight on the south county keeps response time honest.

  • Joel ran a full sprinkler diagnosis on a system the last guy gave up on. Found a broken wire under the lawn in maybe fifteen minutes.

    Herriman · Summer 2025

  • We've used JV for everything — mow, mulch, fall cleanup, and a sod install last fall. Same crew every time, which is rare.

    Bluffdale · Fall 2025

  • Plowed our cul-de-sac at 5:30 a.m. after the December storm. Truck was already there when we opened the blinds.

Questions — JV Landscaping

Plain answers, no runaround.

  • In-house, the same crew. Joel runs irrigation diagnostics himself; the rest of the team handles mow / sod / mulch / plow with cross-trained roles. The truck that mows your yard in July is the same truck that plows your driveway in January.
