Utahans live in tune with the land, so it’s no surprise that we take the risk of drought seriously.

Drought Resistant Design

In a region known for conservation, water-efficient landscaping makes perfect sense. In fact, the City of Bountiful offers rebates on converting your lawn to water-efficient landscaping through the Weber Basin Conservancy District. Water-efficient landscaping is typically very low maintenance, saves money on irrigation, and utilizes native plantings that effortlessly highlight the local landscape.

What Plants Do I Choose?

When selecting plants for water efficiency, starting with native varieties is always a plan for success. Utahn native species have adapted to the climate and rainfall of the region, and should need very little in additional water or nutrition. This guide to Native Utah plantings has some ideas from Buckwheats for ornamentation to Pinyon Pine for shade.

Do I Have To Abandon Grass?

Many people who are interested in water-efficient landscaping can’t get past the stereotypical image of a front yard full of sand and rocks you see in some images. While that may be the ideal landscape in some regions, Northern Utah can support many kinds of water-efficient turf grasses if you know what to look for. Buffalograss is a great alternative to other thirsty turfgrass species. It holds up to traffic and stays green all summer with very little water.

The Right Plants, the Right Fence

Nothing accents a new landscape design like a beautiful new fence from Superior Fence & Rail, the top rated Bountiful fence company in customer satisfaction. A fence compliments the form and color of your plantings, highlighting the delicate reds, golds and greens of native Utahn flora. Fences also define spaces in your landscape, building grassed play areas and contemplative sitting areas. 

Just as a fence can highlight plantings, it can also be used to minimize–or even disguise–parts of your yard. Some low-water landscape designs have a very rugged or stoic character. You may wish to display these designs only from certain angles, using fencing to frame the view or hide it completely. A heartwood vinyl privacy weathered gray fence would compliment almost any yard and provide coverage and full privacy if desired.

Consider airflow when planning your landscaping: allow enough distance between your fence and plantings to allow for growth over many years. Also, fencing with slats like a wooden shadow box or classic picket promotes airflow while looking stylish. 

Conserving For The Future

Conserving water goes hand in hand with preserving our natural resources for future generations. It can start at home with water-efficient landscaping featuring native plants and durable, stylish fencing from Superior Fence & Rail that will last a generation.
