Text Box: Water Features When putting a water feature into a landscape, Behunin Horticulture likes to incorporate different elements.  While a water feature can be designed to have an oriental or mountain theme, the choice of plant life can drastically change the ambiance of the water feature even if it’s basic in design. Text Box: Pavers At Behunin Horticulture, we recommend the use of pavers for any landscape design.  Since Utah’s climate has multiple freezes and thaws each year, pavers are often a better investment than concrete.  Unlike concrete, pavers allow water, nutrients and oxygen to reach the soil, thus eliminating the unsightly cracks often found with concrete.  With pavers, you also have the opportunity to choose from a variety of colors and designs, which allows you to add your personal touch to your landscape.     Text Box: Turf Installation:  Hydro-Seed vs. Sod With any landscape, Behunin Horticulture recommends the use of hydro-seed over sod.  Our technique of using a higher percentage of seed per application than typical hydro-seed applications, leads to an end result of a lush, thick lawn, which often needing to be mowed only three weeks after seeding.    Other benefits: · Hyrdro-seeding, when compared to total sodding is done on an equivalent area for a fraction of the cost. · The mulch fiber modifies moisture levels and soil temperatures during the germination and early growth phases to help obtain optimum growth.   Text Box: Other Services · Site Development · Design-Build · Irrigation Installation · Rock Work · Mulching · Putting Greens   Text Box:   Residential  Construction
