Nurseries may sell plants based on popularity, even if they don't grow well in our Utah climate.
Contractors may create designs based on their area of expertise, more than design principles.
The Gardenflow client's best interest is always at the heart of each design.

Many traditional landscape methods give little regard to the effects they'll have on the rest of the environment.
Problems then multiply and become more costly with time.
Gardenflow recommendations address the root of a problem to help prevent costly mistakes and provide long term solutions.

F.L.O.W.
(FOR LOVE OF WATER)
There is something about the sound of rain...or the trickle of a stream, that clears our minds and restores a sense of peace within us. Our favorite vacation destinations help us reconnect with nature, and are typically at a beach, a lake, or a river. We can not deny how much we love water.
Yet conserving it in our landscapes is one of our biggest challenges.
Gardenflow shares a new perspective that reveals the incredible benefits of water efficient landscaping. Working with nature allows us to elevate our landscapes by transforming common, sterile "lawnscapes" into vibrant and dynamic gardens that are full of beauty and life, even when they include a reduced lawn area.
In our vastly developed Salt Lake Valley,
we no longer need to work so hard to keep nature out.
It's time to bring nature home, and start enjoying our home landscapes
like a vacation destination.
"Ecological Landscaping is a method of designing, building, and maintaining landscapes that considers the ecology of a site and creates gardens that enhance the surrounding environment for the benefit of humans and all other life in the ecosystem."
