How to have Eco-friendly landscaping

As Salt Lake City and Park City’s preferred full-service landscaping company, Land Design by Armstrong can support Landscape Rebate projects. There are programs like Conserve Water where you may qualify for reimbursement for having sustainability in mind. Eco-friendly landscaping can include options that require less use of resources like water and chemicals. We also consider eco-friendly landscaping ideas to support natural wildlife like butterflies, birds, and bees. Especially in the areas that we serve from Bountiful to Sandy and West Jordan to Park City. 

Pavers and Patios 

Decrease your lawn space that would require watering by adding pavers and patios. There is so much use you can get out of the paved ground as well as patios. Top it with outdoor furniture or additional builds like an outdoor kitchen, gazebo, or even a fire feature. Land Design by Armstrong is TaxPro Certified.

Xeriscaping 

According to National Geographic, “Xeriscaping is the practice of designing landscapes to reduce or eliminate the need for irritation. This means that xeriscaped landscapes need little or no water beyond what the natural climate provides.” There are a variety of patterns and shapes that our landscape designers and landscape architects can come up with to create a unique and beautiful xeriscape.

 Choose Native Plants 

Native plants may be on the front of your mind anyway as it’s unlikely you would see a palm tree in Salt Lake City landscaping. However, there are native plants that thrive in natural environments without extra maintenance. Rather than plants that can live in Salt Lake City, but aren’t native. Natural wildlife like butterflies, birds, and bees are going to benefit from your native landscaping, especially in homes against the Wasatch benches, like Millcreek and Cottonwood Heights. As well as mountain homes in Park City. Native According to Utah State University, “Utah plants that have potential in low-water landscapes include, Utah Holly, Mountain Lover, and Buckwheats.”
