Use less water while caring for your landscape
The drought campaign encouraged residents to reconsider thirsty lawns and make irrigation more efficient. A changing lawn does not mean every plant has the same water needs: plan irrigation around the plants and trees you intend to keep.
- Check for leaks and sprinkler spray reaching pavement.
- Group plants with similar water needs.
- Use mulch to help retain soil moisture.
- Include established trees in your waterwise landscape plan.
