How to Reduce Landscape Water Use in Southern California

For many Southern California properties, the biggest water-saving opportunity is not simply replacing every plant. It is making the entire irrigation and planting system more efficient.

Start with waste

Repair leaks, overspray, runoff, broken emitters and mismatched irrigation. Measure emitter output instead of relying only on controller minutes.

Then redesign demand

Hydrozone plants, replace high-water areas strategically, add appropriate mulch and expand California native and climate-adapted planting.
