Get Paid to Save Water
We rip out thirsty grass and install beautiful, water-wise landscapes, and help you claim up to $3 per sq ft in Utah rebates.
The Problem
Your parking strip is costing you money and water.
That narrow strip of grass between your sidewalk and the street is the hardest piece of lawn to keep alive. It bakes in the sun, gets hammered by foot traffic, and guzzles water you're paying for.
Most Utah homeowners are stuck choosing between an eyesore and an ever-growing water bill. There's a better way.
Why Homeowners Love It
Save money. Save water. Look amazing.

Rebates of up to $3/sq ft can cover most of the project cost.
