Native habitat design

Full design serviceLearn more

Full ecological design for residential properties. Not plant selection — plant communities. Species chosen by soil type, sun exposure, drainage, and wildlife support. Every element has a documented ecological function.

  • Plant communities mapped to your specific microclimate
  • Structural diversity: groundcover, forbs, grasses, shrubs
  • Mycorrhizal inoculation — no synthetic soil amendment
Lawn removal in progress — Kentucky bluegrass sod removed, native plant plugs ready for installation

Lawn replacement

Rebate-qualified by defaultLearn more

The typical SLC lawn uses 150,000+ gallons per irrigation season. Native plant communities use a fraction of that — not because they're "drought-tolerant" but because they evolved here.

  • 60–80% less water than Kentucky bluegrass at maturity
  • Qualifies for $1.50–$3.00/sq ft from Utah water authorities
  • Installed as functioning habitat — soil biology intact
