Xeriscaping

A xeriscaped garden thrives with diverse succulents, agaves, and drought-tolerant shrubs nestled amongst large, natural-colored rocks and gravel.

Xeriscaping Services in Utah: Create a Stunning, Sustainable, and Drought-Proof Landscape

Protect your investment, drastically reduce your water bills, and create a resilient, low-maintenance outdoor space with our expert xeriscaping solutions.

A truly vibrant and healthy Utah landscape requires more than just high water consumption and constant maintenance. It needs a deliberate design strategy that works with our high-desert climate, not against it. Many Utah homeowners miss this essential step, leading to stressed plants, excessive water bills, and constantly fighting a losing battle to keep a traditional lawn green during the summer heat. Without a water-wise, climate-appropriate design, you are simply pouring resources into an unsustainable system.

Create Your Ideal, Low-Maintenance Landscape

Imagine stepping into your yard and seeing vibrant, native, and drought-tolerant plants thriving with minimal effort. A professionally designed xeriscape transforms your landscape from dull and high-maintenance to sophisticated, resilient, and effortlessly beautiful. It becomes a sustainable haven for your family, a powerful tool for water conservation, and the single best way to give your entire property a modern, high-value look. We create this dedicated, water-efficient ecosystem that makes plant care simple, efficient, and deeply satisfying.

Smarter Landscaping, Simpler Maintenance

A professionally installed xeriscape by Cottonwood Landscapes is the secret to a thriving, beautiful yard without the high cost and endless work. By implementing the five core principles of xeriscaping, we solve the biggest challenges of landscape maintenance in Utah:

  • Water Savings: Forget excessive watering. Xeriscaping and efficient drip irrigation systems can cut your outdoor water use by 50-75%, dramatically lowering your summer utility bills.
  • Minimal Maintenance: The deliberate use of native and drought-tolerant plants means less trimming, less mowing, and virtually no battle against sun-scorched turf.
  • Climate Resiliency: Plants are naturally suited to Utah’s heat, cold, and dry conditions, creating a resilient landscape that looks fantastic year-round, regardless of drought restrictions.
  • Sustainable Beauty: Xeriscaping is not just rocks. It utilizes beautiful textures, colors, and flowering species that create unique curb appeal while actively contributing to local water conservation efforts.
