KID-FRIENDLY BACKYARDS THAT GROW WITH YOUR FAMILY
TITANSCAPE – HOLLADAY, UTAH

A great backyard should be a place where kids can run, explore, and imagine—without turning the whole space into a toy dump. With smart design, you can keep things safe and fun for the little ones while still having a yard you’re proud to show off. Here’s how we approach family-friendly landscapes at Titanscape.

PLAN ZONES UP FRONT
A clear layout keeps chaos in check.
– Play zone: room for swings, a slide, or open turf for tag.
– Quiet zone: a shady corner with a bench or hammock.
– Garden zone: raised beds where kids can grow strawberries or sunflowers.

SOFTEN THE LANDING
Falls happen. Choose surfaces that cushion.
– Engineered wood mulch or rubber tiles under playsets.
– Drought-tolerant sod varieties that bounce back from constant foot traffic.
– Paver paths set tight to reduce trips.

PICK SAFE, LOW-MAINTENANCE PLANTS
Skip anything thorny or toxic.
– Boxwood, spirea, and serviceberry shrubs line borders without sharp edges.
– Shade trees such as honey locust keep play areas cooler.
– Add sensory plants—lavender, mint, lamb’s ear—to spark curiosity.

BUILD FEATURES THAT LAST
Kids outgrow plastic swings fast; invest in elements they’ll use for years.
– A small climbing wall on a sturdy pergola frame.
– A hillside slide built into a gentle slope.
– A sandpit with a fitted cover that converts to a stage or seating area later.

KEEP STORAGE SIMPLE
The quicker toys disappear, the better the yard looks.
– Benches with lift-up lids for balls and chalk.
– A slim shed for bikes and lawn tools.
– Fence hooks for helmets and jump ropes.

LIGHT FOR LONGER DAYS
Good lighting extends playtime and boosts safety.
– Low-voltage path lights guide kids back to the house.
– Motion lights near gates deter late-night critters.
– Warm string lights over the patio set the scene for family dinners outdoors.

DON’T FORGET THE GROWN-UPS
A family yard should still feel like home to adults.
– Place the playset where you can watch from a comfy chair.
– Use low seat walls and plantings to hide equipment when it’s not in use.
– Reserve a corner for a future fire pit or outdoor kitchen as kids get older.

QUALITY COMMUNICATION AND LASTING CRAFTSMANSHIP
– Quality communication: Clear timelines, honest budgets, and updates you never have to chase. You always know what’s happening and when.
– Lasting craftsmanship: From sturdy play structures to durable plant choices, we build and plant for long-term use, so your yard keeps working for your family year after year.
