Welcome to the new Tips & Tricks Area of MyGreenUtah.com, your source for all your questions regarding turf and ornamental plants grown in Utah! Below, you will find links to questions people just like you, from the pro right down to the beginning gardener have sent in, asked us in person or over in the community area that we want to expand on. Plus, seasonal topics that we feel deserve coverage at the moment! Just click a link and you'll be taken right to the answer!
We focus on local solutions to local problems, drawing on 20 years of experience as professional maintenance contractors in Utah. From the smallest residential to the largest parks systems, Logan to Green River, we've worked it all and seen issues in just about every setting you can imagine! We know where to get plants and products, how to choose them, when to use them, who to use when you need help and what to avoid like the plague! Grass seed to 50 foot pine trees, trimmers to giant fairway mowers and everything in between. No need to reinvent the wheel, use what we have already learned and go from there!
We want to help YOU work through your soil, sunlight, bug, plant choice, fertilizing, traffic, watering and disease problems. No one has a brown thumb, they are just lacking resources on how to do it right! Our goal is to become your source for finding the plants, products and help to get what you want, from your outdoor living room, the first time!
Remember, this is YOUR resource, use it to find out what you need and where to get it! Don't forget to check the Pro Shop and the Local Sources to find great, useful areas on everything from water usage and plant selection in the governmental/association links, to the suppliers and contractors to make it all come together!
