Water-wise yards · Riverton & the Salt Lake Valley
The park strip is the hardest place in a yard to keep grass alive: hot concrete on both sides, sprinklers that water the sidewalk, and brown by August. It's the first thing worth converting.
We take out the grass, re-grade, lay heavy weed barrier, and finish with decorative rock, boulders and water-wise plants on drip — or a flagstone strip you can step out onto from the car.
Park strip converted to rock — one of our own jobs.

How we do it
If you're going for a rebate, approval and a site visit come before any grass is removed.
Old sod out completely, ground shaped to drain.
Spray heads capped or converted to drip so water goes to plants, not the sidewalk.
Heavy weed barrier, decorative rock or flagstone, a few boulders and plants that thrive in the heat.
Utah weather & soil
Utah's state water-efficient landscape standards call for no lawn in park strips, and communities that adopt them become eligible for the state's Landscape Incentive Program. Program rules and amounts change, so we check your address when we walk the yard.
Surrounded by asphalt and concrete, a park strip is the hottest, driest part of the yard — and the place sprinklers waste the most water to wind and overspray.
What it costs
We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

“Our full front yard redo, sprinkler system overhaul, and backyard design came to life in one week only!”
Highly recommend this company! What started as a quote for a new sprinkler system soon became a whole plan for our yard to follow the Utah Water Savers programs, and we were so amazed to get it all done with Jason and his crew in a matter of days. They were so great to work with. He gave us a…
Questions
For Utah's Landscape Incentive Program, yes — removing or killing grass before approval and the site visit disqualifies you.
Yes. Flagstone or stepping stones along the curb give you a place to step that rock alone doesn't.
We work across Riverton, Herriman, South Jordan, Draper, Bluffdale, West Jordan and the rest of the Salt Lake Valley. Something else on your mind? Call 801-608-7207.
