Commercial Landscaping for Salt Lake County Properties
Lundberg Landscape provides commercial landscaping services for homeowners associations, small businesses, apartment complexes, and multi-family developments across Salt Lake County. As water-use standards for commercial properties tighten in Utah — with mandated reductions in irrigated turf areas for commercial and multi-family developments under state planning guidelines — the demand for commercial zeroscaping and water-wise conversion work is growing rapidly.
We bring the same hands-on ownership approach to commercial projects as residential: Russ Lundberg on-site personally, detailed written contracts, and transparent pricing from the first bid.

Why HOAs in Salt Lake County Are Converting to Zeroscaping
Mandatory Water Reductions
Utah's 2023 water use legislation and subsequent municipal ordinances have pushed HOAs and commercial property managers to reduce outdoor irrigation. Properties with large turf areas face increasing pressure — and in some municipalities, increasing fines — for excessive outdoor water use. Zeroscaping common areas is the most sustainable path forward.
Rebate Scale at HOA Level
The same Utah Water Savers rebate available to homeowners — $3 per square foot — applies to qualifying commercial and HOA properties. An HOA that converts 20,000 sq ft of common-area turf qualifies for $60,000 in rebates. We help HOA boards navigate the commercial rebate application process, which has different requirements than the residential program.
Maintenance Cost Reduction
HOA landscaping budgets are heavily weighted toward turf maintenance — mowing, fertilizing, overseeding, aeration, and irrigation repairs. Converting turf to zeroscaping eliminates most of these recurring costs. A properly installed rock and drought-tolerant plant landscape requires 80–90% less labor maintenance than equivalent turf area, with maintenance concentrated in spring cleanup and occasional plant replacement.
Commercial Sprinkler & Irrigation Services
Commercial irrigation systems are significantly more complex than residential — more zones, higher flow requirements, pressure regulation needs, and often multiple controllers tied to centralized management systems. Lundberg Landscape services commercial irrigation systems across Salt Lake County, including diagnosis, repair, controller upgrades, and backflow preventer testing for commercial accounts.
We work with property managers, building owners, and HOA maintenance committees directly — providing detailed invoicing, work documentation, and reliable scheduling. If you manage multiple properties, we offer priority scheduling and maintenance partnership arrangements that ensure your irrigation systems are serviced proactively rather than reactively.
Commercial Zeroscaping ROI in Utah
The economics of commercial zeroscaping are compelling at scale. Irrigated turf on commercial properties and HOA common areas carries significant ongoing costs — water, mowing, fertilizing, and irrigation maintenance — that compound year over year.
After a professional zeroscaping conversion, water use drops dramatically, mowing is eliminated, and ongoing maintenance is minimal. The Utah Water Savers rebate program pays per square foot of qualifying turf removed, which at commercial scale can substantially offset or cover the installation cost.
Most commercial zeroscaping projects reach positive ROI well within the first few years. Call Russ directly to walk through the numbers for your specific property size and situation.
