Simple but powerful
🌱 From Random to Intentional
This one was a fun challenge out in Syracuse.
The homeowner had already planted a mix of shrubs over time. No real plan, just adding things here and there. Instead of ripping everything out, we worked with it.
And honestly… that made it better.
We shaped the design around what was already there, cleaned things up, added structure, and turned it into something that actually feels cohesive.
Now it looks like it was always meant to be this way.
Here’s the part most people care about:
They removed 1,300 sq ft of lawn
At $2.50 per sq ft through Utah Water Savers
That’s $3,250 back to the homeowner
On top of that, this yard will save tens of thousands of gallons of water every year.
Less mowing
Less stress
More time actually enjoying the yard
And still green where it matters
This is what I love about xeriscaping done right. It’s not about stripping everything out. It’s about creating something better, smarter, and built for Utah.
If you’ve got a yard that feels random or unfinished, you’re not as far off as you think.
