Rock and Mulch Installation

Whether you are looking to refresh a commercial park strip or overhaul the common areas of a residential development, replacing thirsty grass with rock or bark mulch provides several immediate advantages. Transitioning to a zero-scape design not only reduces long-term maintenance costs but also significantly decreases water consumption while maintaining a polished, professional aesthetic:

• Significant Water Conservation: By replacing high-maintenance turf with drought-tolerant plantings and mulch, property owners can reduce outdoor water use by up to 50%. This is particularly vital in Utah, where local municipalities often provide incentives for flipping your strip.
• Drastic Maintenance Reduction: Unlike grass, rock and mulch don’t require weekly mowing, edging, or aerating. While no landscape is zero maintenance, these areas require far less labor and lower ongoing costs to maintain a pristine appearance.
• Improved Soil Health and Moisture Retention: For areas with trees and shrubs, bark mulch acts as an insulating blanket. It keeps the soil cool during 100°F summer days and slows evaporation, ensuring that the water you do use stays in the ground where plants need it.
• Enhanced Erosion Control: High-traffic areas or sloped sections of a property are prone to soil washout. Heavier rock mulches provide a stable, durable surface that holds the ground in place during heavy rain or snowmelt.
