Representing you on the Cottonwood Heights City Council.
Welcome to “News of D4 & Beyond”
Think water-wise!
Tired of fighting a brown lawn?
Thinking about water conservation, cleaner air? 💧
Create a wood chip path or turn your park strip or yard from "water-thirsty" to water-wise!
FREE wood chip mulch now available at 3618 E. Golden Hills Ave, Cottonwood Hts
The Simple Permaculture Method for Park Strips:
Skip the Plastic: Pile on 6-inch layer of wood chips directly over area. This heavy layer mimics a forest floor, smothering weeds while locking moisture into the soil.
Go Native: Plant beautiful, drought-tolerant species that stay under 24 inches tall keeping streets safe and visible.
Establish & Save: Give light watering for two seasons. Once established, these tough plants can survive entirely on Utah's natural rainfall.
🌸 Great Native Plants Under 24 Inches:
Western Yarrow (White blooms, great ground cover)
Firecracker Penstemon (Bright red/hummingbirds love)
Utah Agave (Distinctive architectural evergreen)
Sulfur Flower Buckwheat (Native bees love!)
📬 Help transporting wood mulch available.
Location: 3618 E. Golden Hills Ave (driveway)
Free mulch. First come, first served. Limited quantity.
We lend bags, no need for truck.
