Landscaper in Orem, Utah
Orem runs under a year-round watering conservation ordinance — outdoor irrigation limited to two days a week, with no watering between 10 AM and 6 PM on any day — tightened further by a 2026 drought advisory. New sod or seed needs a 21-day establishment variance from Orem Public Works before it goes in, or a brand-new lawn can get cited before it's even rooted. We handle that paperwork on every install, design irrigation around the schedule, and have been building landscapes around Utah County's water rules for 15+ years.
Built around Orem's watering ordinance
Orem's conservation ordinance limits outdoor irrigation to two days a week and bans watering between 10 AM and 6 PM on any day — drip lines, soaker hoses, and hand-watering with a shut-off nozzle are exempt and allowed anytime. A 2026 drought advisory has made enforcement tighter, so a system that doesn't fit the schedule isn't just wasteful, it's a violation waiting to happen.
New sod or seed is its own problem: it needs daily watering to establish, which the standard schedule doesn't allow. Orem requires a 21-day establishment variance from Public Works before any new lawn goes in. We file that paperwork as part of the job and design the irrigation zones so the lawn is compliant the moment the variance ends.
From Timp-bench soil to lakeside clay
At about 4,767 ft, Orem sits higher than the Salt Lake valley floor — enough that spring arrives a little later here. The city runs from the foot of Mt. Timpanogos down to the east shore of Utah Lake, and the soil changes along the way: the bench toward Timp drains better and is easier to work, while Orem's lakeside ground is the heavy, slow-draining clay the city is known for. That clay needs different bed prep, drainage planning, and base work for anything built on top of it.
We grade and prep for both — slope and retaining work on the bench side toward Lindon and Pleasant Grove, and full landscape installs on the clay closer to Utah Lake and Provo. Either way, the base goes in right the first time.
One Utah County team, every project
Central Utah Water Conservancy District — headquartered right here in Orem — runs turf-removal and lawn-replacement rebates through Utah Water Savers: up to $3 per sq ft for converting lawn to water-wise planting, plus Flip Your Strip for park strips. Written pre-approval has to be in hand before any turf comes out, and Utah's SB 152 means Orem's HOA communities can't penalize you for making the switch. We run that approval process as part of the job.
From there, it's full-service: landscape design and installation, hardscaping, retaining walls, water features, and outdoor living spaces, plus concrete work and pool builds — all from one Pro Landscaping team that's worked Utah County's water rules and soil for 15+ years.
In Orem we specialize in residential landscaping in Orem, landscape design and build in Orem, and hardscaping in Orem.

Questions Orem Homeowners Ask
Yes. Orem's conservation ordinance limits watering to two days a week, which isn't enough for new sod or seed to establish. Before any new lawn goes in, Orem Public Works requires a 21-day establishment variance. We file that variance as part of the job and design the irrigation zones so the system is fully compliant the moment the variance period ends — skipping this step means your new lawn can be cited before it's rooted.
Yes. Every system we install in Orem is designed around the schedule — two days a week, no watering between 10 AM and 6 PM on any day. Drip lines, soaker hoses, and hand-watering with a shut-off nozzle are exempt and allowed anytime, so we incorporate those zones where the schedule is tightest. A 2026 drought advisory has made enforcement stricter, so a non-compliant system isn't just wasteful — it's a violation.
Yes. CUWCD is headquartered right here in Orem and runs turf-removal and lawn-replacement rebates through Utah Water Savers — up to $3 per sq ft for converting lawn to water-wise planting, plus Flip Your Strip for park strips. Written pre-approval must be in hand before any turf comes out. We manage that approval process as part of the job, and Utah's SB 152 means Orem HOAs can't penalize you for making the switch.
Yes. The bench toward Mt. Timpanogos drains well and gets steep in places — slope work and retaining walls are common on that side. The lakeside ground is the heavy, slow-draining clay Orem is known for, which needs different bed prep, drainage planning, and base work for anything built on top of it. We assess each lot before designing rather than assuming a soil profile.
Yes — all of those communities roll up to our Orem office. Each has its own local water rules, soil conditions, and terrain that we design around: Vineyard's new-build lots, Provo's established neighborhoods, and the hillside terrain near Pleasant Grove and Alpine all have different requirements.
