Riverton grew fast — most of the city was built from the mid-1990s onward on flat valley-floor lots in southwest Salt Lake County. The Jordan River runs through the west edge, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District supplies irrigation water throughout, and the newer construction means many Riverton homeowners are looking at their first professional landscape install rather than a renovation. Our Draper office handles Riverton every week — both from-scratch installs on newer homes and updates to dated 1990s landscaping on the city's first-wave developments.
Most of Riverton was developed after 1990, which means clean flat lots and newer construction that's well-suited for first-time professional landscape and irrigation installs. Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District supplies treated water throughout the city, and Utah Water Savers rebates apply — up to $3 per sq ft for turf-to-waterwise conversion, pre-approval required before any turf comes out.
The city's west edge runs along the Jordan River corridor — properties near the river have some drainage and potentially flood-plain considerations, but the bulk of Riverton is flat valley floor with straightforward build conditions. Clay-loam soil throughout means proper bed prep and drainage management matter on every project.
Riverton still has some larger agricultural-holdover lots on its east side — properties that predate the suburb era and run quarter-acre to half-acre. Those lots are ideal for full outdoor living packages: pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, and complete landscape design. Newer developments in the west and south corridors are similar in scale and demand the same full-package approach.
Utah's SB 152 (2022) means Riverton's HOA neighborhoods can't penalize homeowners for replacing turf with water-wise planting.
