Reviews for

Bountiful Backyards

Ensuring our customers' vision for their property comes to life is our #1 priority. That, and making a healthier planet. They're the same, really...

"I found Bountiful Backyards online when searching for regenerative landscaping/gardening. I was so tired of irrigation and typical lawn services in our neighborhood, and wanted to get away from pesticides/herbicides anywhere near my yard. Bountiful Backyards completely transformed my backyard into an edible garden that does not require irrigation. They are so intelligent with picking plants good for our local environment and that can deter deer/rabbits/etc. They are also amazing at using the rain from house/gutters and making "rain gardens" and using this water in productive ways. Like many things, changing your entire yard to a productive, regenerative garden is a work in progress; but this is definitely the company I would recommend."
