Question 1

What are some sustainable landscaping practices I can implement?

Accepted Answer

Sustainable landscaping includes practices like xeriscaping, planting native species, using mulch to retain moisture, and installing efficient irrigation systems. These methods help conserve water, reduce maintenance, and support local ecosystems.

Question 2

How much should I budget for my landscape?

Accepted Answer

A good rule of thumb is to invest 10–25% of your home’s value into your landscaping. This range allows for flexibility depending on the size, features, and complexity of your project.

Question 3

When is the best time to plant grass in Utah?

Accepted Answer

Early spring and early fall are ideal times to plant grass, as the temperatures and moisture levels support strong root development. However, with proper watering and care, grass can be planted outside those windows too.

Question 4

What’s the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?

Accepted Answer

Landscaping refers to the living elements in your yard—like grass, trees, flowers, and garden beds. Hardscaping focuses on non-living features such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, and fire pits. Together, they create a balanced and functional outdoor space.

Question 5

Is landscaping fabric worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When installed correctly, landscaping fabric is an effective way to suppress weed growth while allowing water and nutrients to reach your soil. It's especially useful in garden beds and under decorative rock.

Question 6

Why do I have dry spots in my yard?

Accepted Answer

Dry patches are usually caused by uneven sprinkler coverage or clogged heads. Other factors could include compacted soil, poor drainage, or sloped terrain. A sprinkler audit can help identify and fix the issue.

Question 7

What is xeriscaping and is it right for my yard?

Accepted Answer

Xeriscaping is a water-efficient landscaping method that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, and minimal lawn space. It’s a great option for Utah’s dry climate, reducing both water use and maintenance.

Question 8

How long does a landscaping project typically take?
