Autoliv Xeri-scaping Project

The majority of landscaping around the Autoliv OTC facility is lush, green lawn. Since Utah is the second-most arid state in the nation, the company’s water loving lawns did not reflect to employees and customers Autoliv’s commitment to conservation. While the lawn has its place, Autoliv saw an opportunity to create a better suited landscape by planting native and low-water using trees and plants.

Autoliv began by removing the lawn from an area approximately 1,625 sq. ft. The existing watering system was changed and set to its own timing station so watering could be controlled. Soil and landscape boulders were brought in and selected low water using trees, shrubs, and perennials were planted. A groundcover of river rock was then laid down.

Based on how the plants weather the winter, additional perennials may be planted.
