Landscapping ideas for area between street and sidewalk

[Bryce Till]

Hello, 

I need some recommendations on what to do with the landscaping for the area between the sidewalk and street of a new rental I'm acquiring in Salt Lake City, SLC, Utah, UT. The area is not set up with water and currently just has weeds. I would like the area to be very low maintenance and also look nice. I don't want the tenant to have to worry about maintaining this area of the yard.

Any ideas? Any examples with pictures? 

Thanks, 

Bryce
