Spring Is Waking Up… Is Your Yard Ready?
You can feel it right now…
The soil is warming ☀️
Plants are starting to wake up 🌱
This is one of the most important times of the year for your landscape.
Most people wait until May or June to think about their yard, but by then you are already behind.
Here are a few simple design principles to think about right now:
Start with early bloomers 🌸
Plants like creeping phlox and early penstemons bring life back into your yard first.
Think in layers 🌿
Groundcover, perennials, and grasses create a full, natural look that fills in over time.
Plan for water, not against it 💧
If your design works with Utah’s climate, everything becomes easier. Less water, less maintenance, better results.
Design for life 🐝
Bees, butterflies, and birds should be part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Most traditional landscapes do not really wake up. They just survive.
A well-designed xeriscape actually comes alive in early spring.
If you want help, drop a picture of your yard below or ask a question. I will give you ideas, plant suggestions, or simple layout feedback.
