Lose your lawn for a mulched garden with a mixed planting of beautiful low-water plants. When drip irrigation is installed in a plant-to-plant manner, significant water savings can be achieved compared to a lawn watered by lawn sprinklers. Water Wise Landscaping can convert your lawn into a colorful garden watered with efficient drip irrigation system. A mixed planting of low-water plants is not only more interesting and more colorful than a lawn, it is more appropriate for the Mediterranean climate of the Bay Area.
