Water Conservation: Desert-friendly landscaping
I’ve been learning a lot since I started looking into water conservation the last few days.
We don’t have a pool (though the info about how much water is lost per year was good to know), but we do have front and back lawns and have contemplated switching the front to xeriscaping. We hadn’t considered the backyard because the kids and dogs love playing on the lawn, but I found a child-friendly landscaping layout idea from the SNWA website. I especially like that it gives you a picture of what each plant looks like instead of just the name and description.
They also have a “color explosion” layout, “backyard entertaining,” low maintenance, desert accents, and pool friendly ideas.
Maybe I’m just easily impressed but I really appreciate the work that went into these design ideas!
