Maximizing Water Conservation: Top Tips for Drought Landscaping

Let's face it. California has been dealing with persistent drought for a while. Drought has drawn down water supplies, and relying on future precipitation is uncertain. Water is a precious resource, and we can't take it for granted—we need to use it wisely, especially in our landscape.

There is no better time to shed our old habits of lining our yards with turf lawns and creating attractive landscapes incorporating native plants that are more in tune with our region and nature. Reducing water use doesn't mean bare landscapes, paved front yards, or sand and cacti. That said, xeriscape yards with sand and cacti are attractive, too! California has many beautiful native plants, so we have amazing landscaping possibilities!

Westturf will design your drought tolerant yard to be attractive, harmonious and efficient. The landscape will require only minimal resources to maintain. Our practices include soil management, proper plant selection and resource conservation.

Sustainable landscaping provides increased plant health and longevity, and is self-perpetuating over time.
