Orem has no secondary water and limits irrigation to two days a week. Avalawn designs landscapes that make every gallon count.
Unlike much of Utah County, Orem doesn't operate a pressurized secondary water system. Every drop your landscape uses comes from treated culinary water, billed at tiered rates that increase with usage. That makes efficient irrigation design a direct line item on your monthly water bill.
Orem also enforces a year-round watering ordinance limiting outdoor irrigation to two days a week, with no watering allowed between 10 AM and 6 PM. New sod or seed can't survive on that schedule while it's establishing, so the city requires a 21-day watering variance before installation. We handle that paperwork as part of the job and design your irrigation zones so the lawn is fully compliant the moment the variance ends.
Took advantage of the winter discount on their filters and it saved us a ton of money on our irrigation revitalization project. We have been wanting to get our sprinklers up and running ever since we moved in but have never been able to fit it in our budget until now. Very fair pricing and a great crew to back it up.
If you have secondary water, you know the battle with your pressure. Luckily Kordell had just the right solution to fix my pressure issue in my back yard zone. They were in and out in a day with nothing left behind except a perfectly working system. Super pleased with the crew over at Avalawn.
We did our project in these months to save some money, and even in the freezing weather, the crew showed up with a great attitude. They were able to make our whole yard water wise in just a week. Xeriscaping some areas due to inefficiencies and overhauling the whole sprinkler system. 10/10 times would recommend these guys to take care of any of your irrigation needs.
Davin and Kordell (and crew) are the hardest workers! They turned my 200 foot back fence into a low maintenance beauty. Worked with me when adding/changing stuff. Kordell is very knowledgeable and saved me from having to replace the 9 trees I bought because we have secondary water. Got it done quick. AvaLawn went the extra mile to repair my fountain pump while adding some water lines that the original installer neglected to add. Kordell knew his stuff about fountains too! I would highly recommend!
We had Avalawn do our drip system, removal of a water feature, and install rock in all the boarders and beds. I can’t say enough good things about how well they did! They took a run down yard and made it look amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice. I will be referring them to anyone I know who is shopping for anything yard related. They were prompt and efficient. We have future projects we are saving up for and we will use them again!! Thank you so much Avalawn
We’ve had a persistent issue with our fountain for three summers and two other companies couldn’t figure it out. Kordell came out and pinpointed the issue super fast. He knew his stuff when it came to water features. While he was here he fixed our drip line that we didn’t even know had a leak. I’ve worked with plenty of contractors in my day but it's rare to find one that actually wants to help rather than doing the bare minimum. I highly recommend Avalawn!
I had Avalawn clean our waterfall, empty the reservoir tank and make sure our pump was working properly Eric did a wonderful job cleaning and refreshing the waterfall after years of buildup and yuck. It looks beautiful! He even went so far as to rearrange the rocks so that it sounded much more pleasing. They were easy to work with, and pricing was more than fair. I will definitely use them again.

Orem doesn't have secondary water, so every gallon your landscape uses is metered and billed as treated culinary water at rates that increase with usage. A landscape designed for efficiency here pays off directly on your bill in a way it wouldn't in a city with cheaper secondary water.
Not without a permit. Orem's standard watering ordinance limits irrigation to two days a week, which isn't enough for new sod or seed. The city requires a 21-day establishment variance before installation, and we file that paperwork and design the irrigation zones.
That's typical for Orem's gravelly clay loam. The clay near the surface holds water, while the gravel underneath drains quickly, so overwatering causes puddling even though the soil can also dry out fast between cycles. It calls for slower, more controlled watering rather than running sprinklers longer.
Yes, with the right design. We size lawn areas realistically, pair them with efficient drip zones for beds and borders, and set up controllers that make the most of your two allotted days instead of wasting them on inefficient coverage.
Since every gallon here runs through the culinary meter, cutting outdoor water use with drought-tolerant plants and drip irrigation has a bigger direct impact on your monthly bill.
Whether you're installing a new lawn or rethinking an established yard, Avalawn can design around Orem's watering rules and metered water so your landscape looks great without wasting a gallon. Reach out for a free quote.
