Design-Driven Landscaping Rooted in Layton, Utah
TBU International, LLC brings over two decades of architectural and landscape design experience to Utah homeowners. Founded in 2002, this Layton-based firm is guided by the belief that great design belongs to every home, regardless of size or budget.
TBU International, LLC isn't your typical lawn-and-sprinkler outfit. This Layton-based home services and landscaping company brings a genuine design pedigree to the residential market — one rooted in architecture, site planning, and landscape design going all the way back to 2002.
More Than Mowing: A Design-First Approach
At the heart of TBU International is a concept design philosophy. Founder Norman Harris spent years working in hospitality design with large firms before settling in Utah and turning his focus toward residential clients. That professional background means homeowners here get a level of design thinking typically reserved for commercial and large-scale projects — applied to their own backyards, front entries, and outdoor living spaces.
Harris sums up his guiding principle plainly: "...good design is neither a product of cost or size." It's a conviction that shapes every project the company takes on, whether a modest yard refresh or a more ambitious outdoor transformation. The design process, as Harris describes it, is both efficient and fun — which is exactly what working on your home should feel like.
Architecture, Site Planning, and Landscape in One Place
What sets TBU International apart is the breadth of disciplines under one roof. Architecture, site planning, and landscape design aren't siloed services here — they inform each other. That integrated approach means your outdoor space is thought through holistically, with an eye toward how it sits on the land, how it relates to your home's structure, and how it actually gets built. Harris has led and collaborated with many design teams over the years, and that collaborative, construction-grounded experience shows up in designs that are practical as well as beautiful.
Open Six Days a Week for Layton and Beyond
TBU International is open six days a week, making it easier to connect whether you're in the planning stages or ready to move forward on a project. For Layton residents and those across the surrounding area, it's a chance to work with a locally rooted company that takes the craft of design seriously.
