Switch out lawn for colorful, drought tolerant plants and enjoy more curb appeal and less weekly maintenance-- all while conserving an average of 7,000 gallons of water (or more) each season. Learn how to switch irrigation and which plants to use to create beautiful, functional park strips.
An introduction to landscaping for Utah. Localscapes is a moderate approach to water-efficient landscape that is based on a 5-step system. For new landscapes, add each element in the 5 steps working from the center of the landscape out to the edges. To modify an existing yard, carve away at the edges of your landscape by adding the various elements and work toward the center, with the goal of creating the key "Central Open Shape" in the middle. Those simply working on one project at a time can use the modular layout of a Localscape to complete projects as time and budget allow.
Although this design/layout style was developed to create landscapes designed to fit the way irrigation systems work thus decreasing work while improving watering efficiency, the style will work for any yard, in any climate without loss of the benefits. It's the simplest way to create a landscape that maximizes curb appeal and function while minimizing maintenance and watering. Content and style developed by the Conservation Garden Park team.

Presentation at the Conservation Garden Park by Dr. Ralph Whitesides, Utah State University on May 3, 2017. Livestream of the class available on the Conservation Garden Park Facebook page. https://facebook.com/ConservationGardenPark
The document discusses Jordan Valley Water's capital projects and infrastructure maintenance in 2016. Major projects included replacing the SCADA system, constructing a new 12.5 million gallon reservoir, and implementing advanced metering infrastructure. It also discusses ongoing repair and replacement of aging pipes and other infrastructure. The capital budget and population are projected to continue growing to meet future needs. Financial information shows the utility's assets, liabilities, and debt coverage remain stable.
This document provides guidance on pruning landscape trees and shrubs. It discusses the proper tools to use for different sized branches and when during the year different types of plants should be pruned. The two main types of pruning cuts - heading and thinning cuts - are explained. Large branches should be cut using a three step process to avoid tearing. Evergreens are generally not tolerant of heavy pruning, while other shrubs can be sheared or have renewal cuts made. Roses and wisteria have specific pruning needs depending on the variety. The overall message is that pruning directs plant growth rather than stopping it.
This document provides information on pruning various plants. It discusses:
- When is the best time to prune different types of trees and shrubs, such as winter/early spring for dormant plants and after bloom for early blooming shrubs.
- The basic pruning cuts - heading cuts to encourage lateral growth and thinning cuts to remove entire branches.
- Tips for pruning specific plants like shrubs, roses, grapes, berries and fruit trees. Pruning encourages growth, directs the plant and maximizes fruit production.
- Common fruit tree pests like codling moth, peach tree borer, and fire blight, and methods to control them, including using degree days to time pest control
Here are a few of our favorite plants for areas with salty soil in Northern Utah area. Salty/ Alkaline soils are common in the west but particularly challenging for those in South Salt Lake County/ North Utah County who irrigate their landscapes with secondary irrigation water.
Localscapes is a regional approach to landscape design that is based on 5 key elements that work in any region to reduce maintenance, increase curb appeal, simplify irrigation, increase functionality and conserve water.
Research has shown that most people aren't aware that planting beds should be irrigated differently than lawn-- thus they water planting beds with overhead spray and with the same frequency as the lawn. As a result, they're providing exactly the conditions weeds need to flourish. All plants, both weeds and desirable plants need five things to grow:
1. Soil
2. Air
3. Nutrients
4. Sunlight
5. Water
You can't do anything about the first three conditions for weeds but if you use our Weed Control Recipe and follow ALL of the steps, you can take substantial control over sunlight and water-- thus reducing weeds in your landscape by 80% or more.
Here's a simple garden you can copy for your own landscape. All of the perennial flowers in this design are beneficial for pollinators such as bees, butterflies and birds. Plants are selected to provide all-season bloom, pops of color through interesting foliage and, of course, water-efficiency. Plants thrive best when irrigated with drip irrigation. Using drip irrigation in this bed also helps reduce weeds since you're only watering the plants you wish to grow. Though developed specifically for homes in Utah along the Wasatch Front, all plants should do well in moderate climate areas of the United States.

The document provides tips for storing water in an emergency situation, recommending storing 14 gallons of water per person in your home. It also outlines the "S.I.T." method for remembering what to do in an emergency: Store, Inform, and Take. The document emphasizes being prepared with stored water as utilities could be damaged or disrupted for days or weeks following a disaster.
A presentation given at the annual meeting of the American Planning Association, Utah Chapter. This presentation illustrates the need for water conservation districts and municipalities to work together to ensure that water supply planning is part of the community development process at every level.
The presentation includes some basic design changes we can all encourage that improve efficiency without sacrificing the quality of our shared landscape experience. Additionally, it encourages adoption of ordinances which support conservation- with particular emphasis on parkstrips.

10. How to draw to scale
Scale means that one measurement
is substituted with another equally but
smaller. Scale for plans is based of a
measurement of 1 inch.
1 inch is equal to x number of feet
11. Graph Paper is Your Friend
Graph paper is an easy way to
draw to scale for homeowners.
1. 1. Count the number of
squares wide and tall for your
graph paper. This one is 34
squares wide x 38 squares
long.
2. 2. Figure out the width and
length of your yard. This yard
is 102 feet wide by 111 feet
long.
3. 3. Divide it by the squares to
find the closest scale.
4. Scale: 1 square = 3 Photo Credit: How Stuff Works
12. Basic Plot Plan
Design
starts with a
scaled ‘Plot
Plan’ that
includes the
dimensions
of all
relevant
objects on
the property.
14. Needs Assessment
Site Concerns:
End of day sun on back
patio- too hot/bright.
Back of house is hot in the
afternoon.
Low spot in front yard/
drainage problems.
Use Concerns:
Patio is inadequate for
family.
Lack of storage.
Social space to connect
with neighbors in front
yard.
15. Consider Maintenance
How much time are you REALLY interested in
spending maintaining your yard?
Are you morally adverse to using pesticides
and/or herbicides? Have you researched the
alternatives?
Do you have children or pets which may cause
damage to lawns, plantings and/or art?
Do you spend long periods of time away from
home?
How much time are you REALLY interested in
spending maintaining your yard?
18. Additional Information Required
Identify locations of plants, structures and
hardscape (patios etc.) that will be retained.
Identify locations and types of sprinklers on
existing system. Need to know:
Where the heads are and what type (pop up, rotor
etc.)
Which valve controls which heads.
Pipe sizing for main and laterals (3/4”, 1”, 1 ½”)
Sprinkler head style and manufacturer.

21. Why We Love Lawn!
- Sea of Green
rests the eye
between busier
plantings.
--Conveys a
lushness
indicating
abundance to our
agrarian psyche.
-- Visually
demonstrates the
power of positive/
negative space.
--Organizes
space.
25. Typical: The “Utah” Island
--People think
they are
‘supposed’ to
have one.
-- No context,
floats on a sea
of lawn.
-- Can leave
awkward bits of
lawn that are
useless but
require water
and work.
--
Psychologically
uncomfortable.
33. Sea of LAWN surrounded by plantings
Inefficient & blocks view of building Central lawn surrounded by plantings.
34. Better Alternative: Peninsula
--Anchors the
house to the
landscape or the
bed to the
hardscape, natural
transition, has
context!
-- More functional
for maintenance.
-- More visual
appeal.
-- Feels ‘right’ by
creating sense of
enclosure rather
than exposure.
Before: Sparse landscape island and grass running up
to the foundation. After: ‘anchored’ plantings and new
path provide transition, interest and function.
35. Varied Density
Thinly planted over entire
area
Positive/ negative space
V
S
Even if the lawn above were gravel, it
would still appear lush and organized.
The key is open space contrasted
with filled space.
Some people dislike xeric
landscapes because of the “messy”
look. Avoid this by creating positive/
negative space.
36. Central Open Space
Resist the urge to “fill” the
blank canvas as that increases
maintenance and is visually
disorganized.
landscape “white space”
Green down low
(Horizontal
Juniper)
Green down low
(Fire Chalice)
“No Maintenance” Zone
38. Better Alternative:
Layered Mixed Plantings
Green Waterwise Shrubs
More Colorful Shrubs +
Perennials
Both examples from USU’s “Utah House” at the Utah Botanic Garden.
Kaysville, Utah
39. Dense plantings hide imperfect maintenance. Notice the “white space”
provided by the lawn? It’s the mix of open spaces and abundance that make
the landscape interesting.
The Lush Waterwise Landscape
40. Lower planting density than the previous design but still has planted areas
and open areas- even though there is no lawn. Grade change (deeper
river bed) is also used to keep it interesting. Design by Cynthia Bee
Organizing Elements
41. Begin by locating desired amenities in
locations where they solve needs identified
during analysis.
Planning for Functional
Elements
43. Site Circulation & Function
Consider all
designed
elements in
terms of
accessibility-
select
surface
materials
appropriate
for the
application
and ensure
good access
to all areas
requiring

Function Plants’ are
those selected for
specific site purposes
such as:
--Screening Views
-- Wind Break
-- Passive Solar
49. Special
Interest
Next add plants for
‘Color Balance’
(ie: burgundy, gold,
blue-green or
variegated foliage).
--Make sure they are
distributed evenly
around the landscape-
don’t want to be
lopsided with color.
-Make sure bolder
foliage is “triangulated”
meaning it appears in 3
groups, triangularly
spaced.
Burgundy
foliage is
triangularly
spaced.
50. Repeat Plants
Backbone shrubs and
perennials which will
be repeated multiple
times. These plants
provide unity in the
landscape and have
the following traits:
Repeat bloom
Desirable foliage traits
Low-maintenance, low
worry
The ‘workhorse’ plants
of the landscape.
51. Filler Plants
Add other shrubs
and perennials
that may appear
only once or twice
in the landscape to
fill in the remaining
spaces to the
desired density.
- Filler plants
provide the variety
that keeps the
landscape from
being too much of
the same stuff.

New concrete on
the north side is
more functional for

The side yard on
the South side is a

walkway makes
that easier and
more interesting.
2 sprinkler zones
were switched to
drip irrigation.
57. Add Front
Lawn reduced in front
yard area by anchoring
the island to the side
yard.
Drip lines from the new
drip irrigation zone in the
side yard are extended
into this bed.
Front yard lawn
sprinklers are
reconfigured by moving
and adjusting sprinkler
heads on that line.
58. Add Rear
Backyard plantings are
added by pulling the grass
away from the perimeter.
Trees do best when NOT
planted in the middle of
lawn areas- move lawn
away from trees when
possible by creating beds
and borders.
The 2 backyard sprinkler
zones had heads moved or
capped.
An additional valve and drip
irrigation zone were added
for the perimeter plantings.
60. Undulating Topography
-- Provides a
‘sense of
enclosure’ in
the
landscape.
-- Separates
yard from
traffic.
-- Shows
plants to
best
advantage,
makes beds
appear more
lush.
61. Entice
Moving in and out of space,
sense of mystery “What’s
around the corner?” People
move in and out of tree cover
or plants
An average design. Too open.
People are too far separated
from the plants, no variety of
experience.
