Living in California we’re faced with all sorts of challenges when it comes to landscaping. One of the most recent challenges is water conservation and recently, California has even limited the number of days you’re allowed to water your own lawn.

We can help you choose different plants that are more drought tolerant than others, install an efficient sprinkler system systems  and recommend other methods to help your current landscape require less water while maintaining the same beauty.

Here are some tips

• Improve the soil conditions by fertilizing and keeping your soil healthy. This encourages deeper roots thus increasing the plant’s capacity for water absorption
• Check your irrigation system to ensure runoff is minimal.  While deep watering less often is generally good,  If you’re watering an area for an extended period of time and it’s causing excess runoff, you may want to break this down into several shorter, watering cycles, repeated one after the other 1/2 an hour apart or so.
• Mulching can help by keeping the ground soil cooler and preventing water from evaporating.
