Landscaping

[temeculaguy]

Find a landscape designer who has worked in palm springs/palm desert or has experience with xeriscape. On a recent trip to that area, I saw some amazingly beautiful yards that require almost no water or maintenance. Even strict hoa’s are allowing full lawn removal if they see and like the plans, I’m contemplating it myself. A few homes just did it in my tract and it looks awesome. Were not talking white rock gardens with red scalloped brick borders, low water landscaping can be the envy of the neighborhood if done well.

Water shortages are a potential problem – however, it’s not necessary to go as far as full-scale xeriscaping.

Large trees require less water than grass lawns. Their deep roots allow you to reduce irrigation frequency and reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation. Besides, they create shade, keeping direct sunlight away from the soil.

Plant trees, use drip irrigation instead of sprinklers. Cover the ground with mulch. Set up the irrigation system to run once a week, less frequently during the rainy season (November through March). Best time to water is late in the evening, at least a couple of hours after sunset.

Send some letters to our government and ask them to build a desalinization plant.

Can’t make any promises, but you should be able to keep the landscaping component of your watering bill under $100/month.

Why not mix stone/concrete/pavers (outdoor surface material) with the fake grass that LT is a spokesperson for? Its expensive up front but you make your money back in 5 yrs or so. The RSF fire dept has it in front of their substation in 4s ranch and it looks good. Doesnt look cheap and quite real from across the street.
