OGDEN, Utah — For most Utah ns, a suburban front yard starts with grass, and most of the state's universities follow the same idea. However, one Utah college is cutting their water use by cutting back on the grass."There is a common misconception with xeriscaping that it’s going to look, lots of desert plants or all-rock, Las Vegas-looking, but that’s not really the case,"explained Drew Hodge, the school's water conservation officer.
"These areas are going to be turning into xeriscape in the next year," said Hodge, pointing out an area that's already caught his eye."It’s really difficult to irrigate these shapes of grass." "If it’s done right, you’ll actually lower the amount of work you’re spending in your yard," Hodge said.
