Desert & Waterwise Landscaping in Salt Lake City
Easy-to-maintain, drought-tolerant yards built for Utah’s dry climate — attractive all year with far less water.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-maintain yard, desert landscaping may work best.
Waterwise landscaping (xeriscaping) replaces thirsty turf with drought-tolerant plants, rock, mulch and efficient drip irrigation. In the Salt Lake Valley, where summers are dry and water conservation matters, it’s a practical way to cut maintenance and water use while keeping a yard that looks good year-round.
A good fit for
- Homeowners tired of mowing and watering
- Park strips and hard-to-water areas
- Anyone looking to lower their water bill
