Where are you using your water? The average Utah home uses 67% of its water for outdoor areas. Reducing areas of your yard that require large amounts of water with water-wise landscaping will help conserve water and stretch the water supply.

Participate in our Landscape Lawn Exchange program to exchange lawn for water water wise plants. https://mywaterutah.org/incentives

🌿 Why plants matter in water-efficient landscapes in Utah
https://bit.ly/Whyplantsmatter

Grass is great... but it's plants that bring your landscape to life! 🌸🌳

✔️ Pollinators love them
✔️ They cool the air and soil
✔️ They use less water than lawn
✔️ They bring beauty, color, and texture
✔️ They support biodiversity

Even small changes make a big difference!
✨ Swap a strip of lawn for perennials.
✨ Add native shrubs or a tree.
✨ Try a drip system instead of overhead watering.

👉 Ready to make a change? We have resources, rebates, and ideas to help you get started!
💧 Let your yard do more — for you and for Utah.

Regardless of your landscape style, there are a few basic things to think about when it comes to landscaping around homes and the commercial, industrial and institutional landscapes of local communities.
