Rentals near BYU need landscaping that survives foot traffic and turnover. East bench homes need grading for slope and clay. Avalawn designs for both.
With BYU anchoring so much of the city, a large share of Provo's landscapes go years without being lived in by a single family. They're rentals and student housing that turn over every year or two, where curb appeal and durability matter more than a delicate design that won't survive move-in weekend.
We build those landscapes to take a beating: tougher plant choices and simpler irrigation zones that are easy to troubleshoot between tenants.
Head up toward the east bench, and the priorities flip. These are established, higher-value homes on sloped, clay-loam lots near Rock Canyon and the foothills, where the work involves grading and retaining structures that prevent a slope from settling or eroding.
Provo also runs its own municipal water utility with conservation rules tied to its Provo River diversion allotment, which shapes how we design irrigation zones for both property types.
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.

Simpler is better here. We favor tougher, low-maintenance plants, straightforward irrigation zones that are easy to repair between tenants, and hardscape that can take heavy foot traffic without looking worn out after one lease cycle.
Sloped bench lots near Rock Canyon and the foothills are common in Provo, and they're one of our specialties. We use retaining walls, terracing, and drainage planning to turn a difficult slope into usable, stable yard space.
That's the clay-loam soil common on the bench. It retains moisture longer than sandier soil and can settle unevenly beneath hardscape, which is why we assess drainage and grading carefully before building on it.
Provo runs its own municipal water system with conservation rules tied to its Provo River allotment, separate from the county-wide programs nearby cities use. We design irrigation zones and controller settings to stay efficient under those local rules.
Yes. We work with property owners and managers who need consistent, low-maintenance landscaping across multiple units, along with repair and maintenance schedules that accommodate tenant turnover.
We design and install the full system, whether that's a durable setup for a rental or a precisely zoned system for a sloped bench lot. Getting the irrigation right up front saves the most trouble later, especially on properties that change hands often.
Whether you're managing a rental near campus or maintaining an established home on the east bench, Avalawn can design a landscape that fits how your property is actually used. Reach out for a free quote.
