We are finally DONE with our park strip! And when I say “we”, let’s be real it was Chris haha. He put so much effort & work into flipping our park strip to be more water wise. He has been researching & planning it since last summer. He really loves yard work & making sure our home looks as nice as it can & it shows! A big thanks to kind neighbors who also helped spread rock & for putting up with the mess & noise haha.
This ended up costing about $15,500 & includes about 280 ish plants, including:
Firecracker Penstemon, Cat’s Pajamas Catmint, Yellow Pineleaf Penstemon, Beyond Pink’d Bluebeard, New Vintage Violet Yarrow, Blue Oat Grass, Kannah Creek Buckwheat, Silver Edge Horehound.
For more info to look into doing this yourself, check out utahwatersavers.com. There is a rebate where you can receive $1 per square foot for replacing the lawn in your park strip with a water-efficient design, or $1.25 per square foot if you also attend a free park strip class.
