What a Strip Flip includes
We remove the sod, cap or convert the spray heads to drip, lay a weed barrier where it belongs (and skip it where it does not), and set plants in a pattern that fills in by the second summer. You choose mulch or gravel, and we match the existing hardscape.
Every flip is planted to the Localscapes park-strip standard the rebate programs expect: at least half the area covered by plants at maturity, no turf, and drip only. That is what makes the rebate approval routine instead of a fight.
How the rebate works
You apply with Utah Water Savers before work begins. We send you the photos, plan and plant list the application asks for, then a final set when the strip is done. The rebate is paid per square foot of lawn removed, so a 300 square foot strip is the typical size we quote.
Rates and funding change every year and sometimes mid-season. We check the current rate the day we quote you and tell you exactly what to expect.
Why strips first
The park strip is the hardest patch of lawn on your lot to keep alive: it bakes between concrete, the sprinklers overspray the street, and the city may already restrict turf there. It is also the smallest, cheapest, fastest conversion with the best rebate per dollar. Most of our full-yard clients started with the strip.
