Bear Paw Design Group Employees helps to create a spiritual and peaceful environments for your wants and needs.
Bear Paw Design Group is a St. George, Utah-based landscape design company whose objective is to balance Utah’s climatic and geographic attributes with the elements of plant selection, hydrology, irrigation usage, and local natural materials to enhance any site. Whether an island in a gated community, a home, golf course, or commercial development, Bear Paw’s designs will improve a property’s curb appeal.
Southwest Utah is characterized as a semiarid, Steppe climate. Water in Utah is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity, and landscape design must recognize that lawns, trees, and flowering plants will be challenged by the lack of water. Selected living plants must be drought-tolerant and able to withstand both the intense summer sun and below-freezing winter temperatures. Wrapping live palms and other selected desert flora is essential if those plants are to survive Utah’s winter.
Natural elements including the red sandstone and black lava available in southwestern Utah are essential ingredients of Bear Paw’s designs. However, the random placement of gravel or the unplanned piling of boulders is not Bear Paw’s style. Instead, site plans
are developed that recognize property orientation, building design, available views, adjacent structures, and local topography. Together, those features determine how creative landscaping can intermingle natural materials with live plants that do not demand constant watering. Further, Bear Paw design group has a select group of very talented artists and vendors to provide metal plants that don’t need water, weeding, or protection. Those life-like plants mimic nature, complement the contemporary architecture increasingly found in southwest Utah, and directly address diminishing water supplies.
Let Bear Paw Design Group design an ecologically sensitive, water-conserving, geographically appropriate landscape for you.
