In Federal Heights
Most of the bungalows and English Tudor cottages in Federal Heights are in the original Federal Heights subdivision, while most of the Colonial Revival and Neo-Classical residences are in the Bonneville-on-the-Hill development above it. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) The Federal Heights land was annexed to Salt Lake City in October 1907, and by 1909 its developer was surveying, platting, grading and improving the subdivision's streets and building lots. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) Federal Heights borders two protected open spaces, the Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area and the Tomahawk Natural Area, and has access to numerous hiking trails on the foothills. (Federal Heights Neighborhood | Council District 3 (SLC.gov)) In the Bonneville-on-the-Hill section of Federal Heights, lot sizes were increased and parcels sold ad hoc, and wealthy families built increasingly grander mansions there from the 1920s into the 1970s. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) About 30,000 typical brick homes built in Salt Lake City before 1970 are considered unreinforced masonry houses, which emergency management experts call an enormous safety risk in a major earthquake.

Quick answers
Should dead perennials be cut back in fall or left until spring?
Either works for most plants. Cutting back in fall tidies beds and removes disease; leaving some stems through winter shelters insects and holds snow. The visit follows your preference.
Is backflow testing part of a sprinkler blow-out?
No. A blow-out clears water from the lines with compressed air; testing or repairing the backflow assembly is done by a certified backflow tester.
