What are Localscapes?

Localscapes are a set of landscaping principles specifically designed for Utah’s climate and terrain. They’re like the rock stars of landscaping, combining water-wise practices, low-maintenance features, and stunning aesthetics to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and sustainable.

Based on the “Six Essential Elements” outlined on localscapes.com, Localscapes focus on:

Designing with Purpose: Localscapes are designed to be functional, beautiful, and water-wise, with outdoor living spaces, water-efficient plants, and features that enhance the usability of your yard.

Zoning for Function: By dividing your yard into zones based on water needs, sun exposure, and use, Localscapes ensure that each area is planted and irrigated appropriately for optimal health and efficiency.

Using Local Plants: Localscapes prioritize the use of native and adapted plants that are well-suited to Utah’s climate and soil conditions, reducing water usage and maintenance requirements while promoting biodiversity.

Efficient Irrigation: Localscapes use smart irrigation techniques, such as drip systems and weather-based controllers, to deliver the right amount of water to each plant based on its individual needs, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

Creating Practical Turf Areas: Localscapes minimize the use of traditional turf grass in favor of functional turf areas that serve a specific purpose, such as play areas or pathways, reducing water usage and maintenance while preserving aesthetics.

Appropriate Maintenance: Localscapes are designed to be low-maintenance, with features such as mulch, proper pruning, and soil improvement practices that help conserve water and promote healthy plant growth with minimal effort.
