Water-wise yards · Riverton & the Salt Lake Valley
Trade thirsty grass for rock, boulders and plants that thrive here. A lower water bill, less mowing, and a front yard that still looks cared for — not like a gravel parking lot.
We convert part or all of a yard: old sod out, ground re-graded, heavy weed barrier, rock in two or three colors in curved bands, boulders in groups, concrete curbing, and plants on drip. Many owners keep a small lawn panel where it's actually used.
Front yard converted to rock and boulders — one of our own jobs.
Is this right for you?
How we do it
A smaller lawn where kids and pets play; rock and planting everywhere else.
Old sod out completely so grass doesn't poke through later, and the ground shaped to drain.
Heavy weed barrier, rock in curved color bands, and boulders grouped for height.
Water-wise plants each watered at the root, plus curbing to hold the lines.
Utah weather & soil
The Salt Lake Valley is semi-arid, and most of our precipitation falls as winter snow, not when a lawn needs it in July. Plants adapted to our heat and clay, watered at the root early in the morning, use a fraction of the water of bluegrass.
Utah's Landscape Incentive Program and several water districts help pay for lawn conversion in qualifying communities. Most require approval before any grass is removed.
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.

Questions
No — expect an occasional weed and a leaf blow-off in the fall. But it's a fraction of the work of a lawn.
Not with mixed rock colors in curved bands, grouped boulders, real planting and a clean edge. See the photos on this page.
