Frequently Asked Questions
What is water-wise landscaping?
Water-wise landscaping is a design approach that reduces water use while maintaining an attractive, functional outdoor space. It combines drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, smart grading, and durable materials to create landscapes that thrive in desert climates.
Will my yard still look green and inviting?
Yes. Water-wise doesn’t mean bare or boring. With the right plant selection, artificial turf options, and thoughtful design, your landscape can look lush, modern, and welcoming year-round — without excessive watering.
How much water can I actually save?
Many homeowners and businesses see significant reductions in water usage, especially when switching from traditional lawns to drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, or artificial turf. Savings vary by property, but the impact is often noticeable on monthly water bills.
Is water-wise landscaping more expensive upfront?
Costs vary by project, but water-wise landscapes often pay for themselves over time through reduced water, maintenance, and repair costs. We design solutions that fit your budget and focus on long-term value.
Do you remove existing lawns and plants?
Yes. We can remove traditional turf, outdated irrigation systems, or underperforming plants and replace them with water-efficient alternatives designed for your space and climate.
Do you design water-wise solutions for commercial properties?
We do. Our water-wise services are ideal for businesses, HOAs, campuses, and public spaces looking to reduce water use while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
