Landscaping

Water-wise landscaping is a great option for our climate because it uses less water and it's drought tolerant. When compared to grass, which requires about 28" of supplemental water annually, low-water landscapes can thrive on 15" or less and weathers longer periods without water. In addition to decreased water consumption and resilience, these landscapes often require less maintenance.
