equalizer, I didn’t post links because I didn’t take pictures. With 5 minutes of searching the internet I found local landscapers that specialize in low water native landscapes, but if I link them then it may come off as an endorsement.
All I can say is that, like DW and UCgal, when you see a well done low water yard in person, it will make you want to rip out your lawn, they actually look better. If it were cars, the prius’ guzzle gas and the ferrari’s get the best mpg. I have a standard suburban lawn but it’s very high on my list to change that and it’s not to save water, that is a mere side benefit.
