We humans create a lot of stuff, don’t we? It’s part of our nature. We’re always striving for better. That’s not a flaw that we need to overcome, it’s what makes us who and what we are. This seemingly endless quest for better has brought countless blessings into our lives from easier transportation to medical marvels! We’re driven by a desire for safety, protection, comfort, ease, and beauty. This drive for beauty is incredibly strong. Beautiful surroundings set our souls at ease. 

One of the fastest and least expensive ways to surround yourself in beauty is to step outdoors. The power of nature is undeniable. It’s difficult to describe, but if you visit a garden park or walk along a mountain path, you will feel the invigorating energy of nature. There’s a sense of peace and rejuvenation that slows your heart rate and allows you to breathe a little deeper. That’s why we work so hard to bring that energy into our yard. Beautiful garden beds close to home allow us to access that energy without all the travel. Finding peace in the mountains is nice, but finding it at home is better.



The chaotic pace of our lives often leaves us drained. Quick access to nature’s beauty can invigorate us when we’re feeling stressed. In an ideal world, we could simply walk through a door and feel the calm that comes from beautiful spaces. Is your yard a calming, beautiful space? Could it be better? We can create naturally beautiful places to refresh and rejuvenate with just a little planning and planting. Your park strip is a great place to start because it’s small and well-defined.


Park strip gardens make your landscape pop by adding interest and intrigue from the very first glance. Replacing turf grass with trees, shrubs, and perennial plants attracts butterflies, bees, birds, and more. Better still, you’ll save money by using far less water to keep it vibrant and alive, and you can even qualify for a significant rebate from the state of Utah to help cover your costs.

We have personalized solutions to the challenges you’ll face.

A park strip conversion is a relatively small project, but even small projects involve some effort, and they tend to grow. That’s why we have an in-house expert to guide you through each step! When unforeseen elements arise along the way, it’s great to know that Progressive Plants is just a phone call away! We’ll guide you to plants that are perfectly suited for your soil, water, and elevation, and connect you with expert designers and landscapers when you need them. 


Having an expert at the ready to walk you through your projects can be invaluable! When you have questions about removing grass or converting your sprinkler system, we can give you answers specific to your project and your location. If you’re concerned about qualifying for a refund from the state, we’ll help walk you through the red tape . We don’t want you to become discouraged and quit before you start.

If you’re ready to flip your strip, replace sod with more water-efficient plants, and qualify for a refund from the state of Utah, contact Erin. Her goal is to help you create the most amazing garden beds you’ve ever had in your yard! Plus, she’ll guide you through each step of the rebate process. Best of all, she doesn’t just stay here in-house, she’ll come to your home and walk you through the process in-person!
