Company Mission Statement

We don't just maintain landscapes — we protect the first impression your property makes every single day. At LandArt, we hold ourselves to a standard most companies won't touch: zero excuses, zero shortcuts, and zero tolerance for mediocrity. Our crews show up with the same intensity on day one as they do on year twenty-two — because your property deserves nothing less than exceptional, every season, every visit, every time.

Who We Are

Built on Craft,
Rooted in Utah

Founded in 2006 by Rob Passey and Eric Mattinson, LandArt was built on one bold idea — that outdoor spaces deserve the same level of artistry and intention as any world-class interior. What started as a single crew and a handful of clients in Salt Lake City has grown into one of the Wasatch Front's most respected and sought-after landscape firms. Twenty-two years later, that founding conviction hasn't changed. It's only gotten sharper.

Today, our team of seasoned designers, horticulturists, and skilled craftspeople handles everything from intimate multi-family courtyards to sprawling commercial campuses — and we bring the same obsessive attention to detail to every single one. No project is too big. No standard is too high.

We work exclusively in Utah — and that's not a limitation, it's a superpower. We know this soil, this climate, and exactly which plants will thrive and which ones won't survive a Wasatch winter. That hard-earned local expertise is baked into every design, every installation, and every maintenance program we deliver.
