Water Conservation Landscaping Tips

Here are three ways you are able to conserve water in your outdoor landscaping while maintaining optimal plant health and beautiful landscape.

Select from any of the following water-efficient irrigation technologies:

Weather-Based Irrigation Controllers (WBIC’s)
These controllers automatically adjust to the irrigation schedule to account for changing weather and plant types.
Rotating Sprinkler Nozzles
These nozzles apply water more slowly and uniformly to prevent over-watering and encourage healthy plant growth. You can also save up to 20% less water than conventional spray heads.
Synthetic Turf
You can save time by eliminating the need to mow, weed, and trim while enjoying a green landscape all year long with synthetic turf.

If you would like us to provide you with more information on water conservation techniques please contact us.

How to reduce water use or create a water-wise garden and how to create a native landscape?

How to reduce water use or create a water-wise garden?
San Diego’s dry climate continues to call for water conservation and especially in our own backyard. Creating a water-wise garden is important to many because most of our water use comes from outside the home. You don’t have to compromise in having a beautiful garden, in fact we can help you develop a luscious garden with drought tolerant plants such as lavender, juniper, agave, cactus, sedum and thyme as just a few examples of plants suitable for our environment.

Another way to reduce water use is to consider a synthetic lawn. Synthetic lawns not only conserve water and in the long run will save you money and will stay green 365 days of the year. If you have dogs, this may be a good option to consider because of the wear and tear associated with dogs and lawns.

If you want have a natural lawn, we recommend having the proper irrigation system installed that will help your lawn grow healthy and save you time and money.

If you need help determining which plants would best fit your garden, give us a call and we will help plan out your water-wise garden.

How to create a native landscape?
California has the richest group of plants of any state in the nation, and one of the most interesting and diverse in the world. Of the 6300 plants that are native to California, over one-third are endemic — they grow naturally nowhere else. Growing California natives is one way to develop an appreciation of its beauty and diversity. Here is a list of California natives that can be inspiring for your garden:

Sea-dahlia
