Save Water in your Garden and Landscape, part 3

Mar 23, 2015

No lawn

Minimize the Lawn

  1. The use of native groundcovers, grasses, shrubs and trees make an eye catching garden
  2. Reduce the size of the lawn and plant Tall fescue. It is a cool season grass that does well in summer. Most cool season grasses need a lot of water to look good.
  3. Avoid slopes

Benefit: Conserve water, energy and labor
