Creating a beautiful yard doesn’t have to mean high water bills and constant maintenance. At Urban Forest Landscaping, we offer professional xeriscaping services that combine smart design, drought-tolerant plants, and efficient irrigation to help homeowners throughout Springville and Utah County build sustainable, low-maintenance outdoor spaces. Whether you're starting fresh or converting an existing lawn, we’ll create a landscape that’s both water-wise and visually stunning.
Xeriscaping is a landscaping approach designed to reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental water from irrigation. It focuses on using native and drought-tolerant plants, improving soil conditions, and designing with water conservation in mind. This method is especially effective in Utah’s dry climate, where traditional grass lawns often require excessive watering to stay green and healthy.
Contrary to what some people believe, xeriscaping doesn’t mean giving up beauty or color. In fact, a well-designed xeriscape can include vibrant flowers, textured foliage, ornamental grasses, rock features, and pathways that bring both style and function to your yard. It’s about working with the environment—not against it—to create a space that’s attractive, practical, and eco-conscious.
The most obvious benefit of xeriscaping is reduced water use. With Utah’s frequent drought conditions and rising water costs, a low-water-use landscape can significantly lower your monthly utility bills while helping conserve valuable resources. In addition to saving water, xeriscapes typically require far less maintenance than traditional landscapes. There’s no mowing, minimal fertilizing, and fewer weeds to deal with.
Xeriscaping is also great for plant health and soil quality. Because the plants used are suited to the local climate, they tend to thrive with less care and are more resistant to pests and diseases. And by using mulch or decorative rock to retain soil moisture and prevent erosion, your yard stays healthier in the long run.
Finally, a professionally designed xeriscape can increase curb appeal and boost your property’s value. More and more homeowners are looking for beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that offer long-term savings and align with modern environmental values.
At Urban Forest Landscaping, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all designs. Every xeriscape project begins with a personalized consultation where we get to know your goals, preferences, and property layout. We’ll walk your yard with you, discuss sun and shade exposure, evaluate the soil, and help you explore options for plants, rock features, ground covering, and layout.
Once we’ve created a design plan, we handle every step of the installation process—from soil preparation and grading to planting and mulching. We’ll also install or adjust your irrigation system, often replacing traditional sprinkler heads with more efficient drip lines that target plant roots directly and waste less water.
Whether you want to remove your entire lawn, create drought-tolerant planting beds, or simply reduce your landscape’s water demands, we’ll help you build a plan that fits your needs and vision.
Xeriscaping is especially well-suited to Utah’s arid environment. With our local expertise, we select plants that thrive in the hot summers and survive the cold winters of Utah County. We use high-quality materials and expert installation techniques to ensure your xeriscape performs well through every season.
Our plant palettes may include flowering perennials, native shrubs, ornamental grasses, and succulents—each chosen for its ability to look great and survive on limited water. Combined with carefully placed rock features, mulch, and ground cover, these elements come together to create a cohesive and attractive outdoor space.
Xeriscaping is the perfect choice for homeowners who want a beautiful yard without the hassle and expense of constant upkeep. It’s an investment in your property and the environment—a way to reduce your footprint while still enjoying an outdoor space you can be proud of.
At Urban Forest Landscaping, we combine thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and clear communication to deliver results that last. We take pride in making the process easy and enjoyable for you, from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough.
