Lawns & play · Riverton & the Salt Lake Valley
Taking out an old lawn properly is the step that decides whether a rock yard or new lawn stays clean. We strip the old sod completely, haul it off and re-grade, so you don't end up with grass poking through your new rock for years.
Important if you're after a rebate: Utah's Landscape Incentive Program says not to remove or kill any grass before your application is approved and the site visit is done. Doing it early disqualifies you.

How we do it
If you're applying for a lawn-conversion incentive, apply and get approval before we touch the grass.
So nothing gets cut that shouldn't be.
The old sod comes out completely, roots and all, and is hauled away.
The ground is shaped so water runs away from the house and is ready for rock, planting or new sod.
Utah weather & soil
The state's Landscape Incentive Program (through Utah Water Savers / Slow the Flow) helps pay to replace lawn in qualifying communities — and it is strict about order: apply first, get approval and a site visit, then remove grass.
Many water districts in the Salt Lake Valley run their own programs too. Rules and amounts change, so we check what applies to your address when we walk the yard.
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.

“I have worked with numerous contractors over 30 years and they are the best.”
MP Lawn Care & Lighting did outstanding work! They installed railing on my exterior steps and porch, xeriscaped my yard and park strips, and redid my sprinkler system.
