Water Smart Landscaping

To be water smart in your landscaping, consider the following:

1. Choose drought-tolerant plants and grasses that require less water.

2. Use mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.

3. Install a drip irrigation system or water-efficient sprinklers to deliver water directly to plants' roots.

4. Adjust your watering schedule based on weather conditions and plant needs.

5. Use rain barrels to collect and store rainwater for later use in your landscape.

6. Minimize hardscapes, such as concrete and pavement, to reduce runoff and increase water absorption into the soil.

7. Fix leaks promptly to avoid wasting water.

By implementing these practices, you can reduce your water usage and maintain a beautiful and sustainable landscape.
