Landscape Plants in Salt Lake City

Big nurseries sell what’s on the lot. We find what you’re actually looking for.


Beyond the Leaf special-orders landscape plants for Salt Lake City homes and businesses. Tell us the plant you have in mind, whether it’s a specific rose variety, a shade tree, a hedge’s worth of shrubs or a bed of low-water perennials, and we’ll source it through our grower network. We’ve already tracked down rose bushes for customers who couldn’t find them anywhere else in the valley.

Landscape Plants

Trees, shrubs, rose bushes and waterwise plants, special-ordered for your yard

Landscape Plants We Special-Order

Perennials and ornamental grasses

Plants that come back every year: coneflowers, salvia, penstemon, catmint, yarrow, lavender and grasses that add movement and color without much work.

Rose bushes

Shrub roses, climbers, hybrid teas and hardy landscape roses. If you have a variety in mind, a favorite from a grandparent’s yard or one you saw online, give us the name and we’ll look for it.

Trees

Shade trees, ornamental and flowering trees, evergreens and fruit trees. Tell us the size you want and where it’s going, and we’ll find something suited to the spot.

Shrubs and hedges

Privacy hedges, flowering shrubs and evergreen foundation plantings. Ordering several of the same plant? We’ll source them together so they match.

Waterwise and native plants

Drought-tolerant plants that hold up in Utah summers without daily watering. A good fit for parking strips, slopes and anyone trying to cut their water bill.

  1. Tell us what you want. Call or stop by with the plant name, how many, and the size if it matters. A photo or link helps.
  2. We check availability. We contact our growers and come back with options and a price.
  3. You approve the order. A deposit may be due at this time.
  4. We call when it’s in. Pick up at the shop at 156 E 900 S Ste 104, SLC, UT.


Availability depends on the season and the grower. The sooner you ask, the better your options.


How Special Orders Work

Planting in Salt Lake City: What to Know

Generic plant tags aren’t written for the Wasatch Front. Here’s what makes landscaping here different.

Hot, dry summers and cold winters

Salt Lake summers are hot and dry, and winters bring hard freezes. Pick plants rated for our hardiness zone and ask us if you’re not sure. We’ll steer you away from plants that won’t survive a Salt Lake winter.

Button

Alkaline, clay-heavy soil

Much of the valley has alkaline, clay-heavy soil. Some plants struggle in it, showing yellowing leaves from iron deficiency. Tell us about your yard, and we’ll suggest plants that tolerate it, or let you know when a soil amendment is worth it.

Button

Water matters

Watering restrictions and rising water bills have pushed a lot of Utah homeowners toward waterwise landscaping. Low-water shrubs, perennials and grasses can look great with a fraction of the water a lawn uses. Ask about current water-conservation rebates in your city before you replace grass.
