Why saving water matters
Utah is dry, and every drop counts. For this reason, Daybreak focuses on yards and streets that need less water but still look great. As a result, our neighborhoods stay beautiful and also protect natural resources.
Simple landscape standards
First, Daybreak asks builders and owners to plant less grass. Then, they add more trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that need little water. Because of this approach, people save money and time on maintenance.
- Replace big grass areas with mulch or rock plus plants that fit the climate.
- Use mulch to keep the soil moist and cut down on weeds.
- Group plants that need the same amount of water together.
Easy irrigation tips
Next, Daybreak promotes smart watering. Instead of running sprinklers all over, water goes right to the roots. This practice stops waste and keeps plants healthy.
- Use drip lines for shrubs and flowers.
- Use high‑efficiency sprinkler heads for small lawn areas.
- Install smart timers that adjust to the weather.
- Check for leaks and fix spray patterns often.
Waterwise planting made easy
Also, the Daybreak Community Association offers ready‑made park strip designs. You can copy a template or choose similar plants. This step makes switching to water‑saving plants quick and easy.

Helpful partnerships and rebates
Finally, Daybreak works with the City of South Jordan to help you save even more. The city gives rebates to help pay for plants, curbing, rock mulch, and flipping park strips.
