Water-efficient landscapes come in a variety of styles. Whether you are looking to save water or minimize maintenance, reducing turf grass and adding more hardscape, such as patio areas, may be beneficial.
EMWD provides a number of resources to help you plan or maintain your water-efficient landscape!
Reduce or remove grass and replace it with water-wise landscaping that uses up to 50 percent less water! If you require a functional play area, consider a more drought tolerant variety of grass such as St. Augustine or Hybrid Bermuda, or a groundcover such as Phyla Nodiflora (also known as Lippia).
Make your existing functional lawn water-wise!
Check your irrigation system frequently, and adjust sprinklers for overspray and runoff.
The next contest will open April 18, 2020.
