What Orem's Code Actually Says About Turf

Orem City Code 22-14-13 covers landscaping on developed lots. Here is the short version, so you can plan the yard before you call anyone.

Turf Is Allowed, With Eight Standards

Orem lets synthetic turf count as landscaping when it meets eight standards. They include a soft polyethylene fiber at least 1½ inches long, UV protection on a porous backing, natural-material infill such as sand, a weed-blocking fabric underneath, and a base that is compacted and graded for positive drainage.

Not in the Strip Between Street and Sidewalk

Artificial and synthetic turf are not allowed in any landscaped buffer strip located between a public street and a required sidewalk. That strip stays living plants, and where a buffered sidewalk is used the code also calls for trees.

Half of Each Required Area Stays Living Plants

At least 50 percent of each contiguous required landscape area has to be planted with living plants. That drops to 45 percent when three or more extra trees are kept in the front or street-side yard. In practice, an Orem front yard is a mix of turf and planting beds, not turf edge to edge.

These rules apply to areas the code requires to be landscaped. Cities amend their codes, so check the current text for your address. We go through what applies to your lot during your free consultation.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Is artificial turf allowed in Orem?

Yes. Orem City Code 22-14-13 lets artificial or synthetic turf count as landscaping in required landscaped areas, as long as it meets the code's installation standards. The main exception is the landscaped buffer strip between a public street and a required sidewalk, where turf is not allowed.

Can I replace my whole front yard with turf in Orem?

Not if the front yard is a required landscaped area. The code requires at least 50 percent of each contiguous required area to be living plants, or 45 percent if you keep three or more extra trees in the front or street-side yard. The usual solution is a design that combines turf with planting beds, and we lay that out with you during the consultation.

Can I put turf in my park strip in Orem?

No. Orem's code says artificial and synthetic turf are not allowed in any landscaped buffer strip located between a public street and a required sidewalk. Turf can still go in other landscaped areas that meet the code's standards.

Does Utah's water-wise landscaping law require my HOA to allow turf?

No, and this is worth knowing before you assume it. Utah Code protects water-wise landscaping, meaning plant material and irrigation efficiency, from HOA bans. Its definition does not include artificial turf, so an HOA can still restrict or require review of synthetic turf even though it cannot ban xeriscaping. We build to pass architectural review either way, and can prepare drawings for a submission if your board requires them.

How much does artificial turf cost in Orem?

Residential turf starts at $8.50 per square foot installed, and we carry blades across six price tiers so there is an option for a pet run, a front yard, an entertaining space, a play area or a sport surface. Our project minimum is $3,500, which covers a typical area of 350 to 375 square feet. Zero down financing is available through GoodLeap, our preferred lender, and pre-qualification is a soft credit pull that does not affect your credit score.
