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

Well-planned landscapes may include usable turf areas. Backyard areas where families gather and pets and children may play are great uses of traditional grass. Whenever you are adding or replanting grass, a permit is required.
