• Grass Alternatives
• Corsican mint, creeping thyme, clover, and
  evergreen moss are all types of grass
  alternatives that require significantly less
  water than the traditional grass found in
  Bountiful landscape designs such as tall fescue
  and Kentucky bluegrass. Corsican mint boasts a
  vibrant green and is much softer than most types
  of grass. Additionally, it emits a minty aroma
  that will make your lawn stand out from others.
  Corsican mint does not require full sunlight nor
  does it require much water, making it ideal for
  landscape designs in the dry, unpredictable
  climate of Bountiful. Unfortunately, Corsican
  mint does not do well with excessive foot
  traffic. If your yard is constantly being
  trampled on, consider using creeping thyme
  instead. Creeping thyme manages itself, growing
  only two to four inches high and requiring almost
  no maintenance, other than occasional watering.
  Additionally, it is extremely resistant to foot
  traffic and possesses a unique purple color that
  will set your yard apart from all of your
  neighbors yards. Clover is another
  drought-friendly grass alternative for your
  landscape design, requiring watering twice per
  week when first established but no watering after
  that. It spreads easily, enriches the soil, and
  is available in many colors including white,
  green, red, and yellow. Evergreen moss is a great
  option if youre looking for something a little
  softer than grass or weeds. Moss thrives in shady
  areas and requires no weeding, watering, or
  fertilization.

• Drought-Tolerant Plants
• Contrary to popular belief, not all gorgeous
  trees and flowers require regular watering,
  weeding, and maintenance. A few beautiful,
  water-wise flowers for your Bountiful landscape
  design include pasque flowers, plumbagos,
  stemless four-nerve daisies, California fuschias,
  broadleaf penstemons, and blanket flowers.
  Certain types of trees also thrive in Bountifuls
  dry climate, such as big tooth maples and desert
  willows. Pasque flowers and broadleaf penstemons
  are vibrant violet with yellow centers while
  plumbagos are a simple baby blue. Stemless
  four-nerve daisies are golden, California
  fuschias are crimson, and blanket flowers are
  both, creating the sensation of a sunset.
  Whatever the design of your landscape, there are
  drought-tolerant flower and tree choices for you.
