Summer landscape irrigation is the largest consumer of City water resources by single family residents. Proper water wise landscapes will provide cool inviting surroundings to your home while reducing the demands on our water resources. Xeriscape techniques offer the methods for developing such water savings, while providing lush landscape expressions that increase property value, reduce maintenance and will protect that investment by being capable of surviving in the event of extended drought periods or temporary emergency water shortages.
