17 Plan & Design Hard surfaces and the use of heat barriers Shade Organic materials Fences or hedges Control air movement
18 Improve Soil Add organic matter to soil of shrub and flower beds Improves plant health & conserves water By absorbing and storing water in a form available to plants Till in 4 inches of organic material Not practical for trees and grass areas
19 Use Appropriate Plants and Zone Landscape Use native plants when possible Well-adapted exotic plants may also be used Drought tolerant does not mean plant and forget
20 Use Appropriate Plants and Zone Landscape Low water use zones Moderate water use zones High water use zones
21 Create Practical Turf Areas Turf areas should be based on life style, site conditions, and water needs Traditional turf areas require more water
22 Create Practical Turf Areas Turfgrasses vary in their need for irrigation Fescue, bluegrass, ryegrass (use the most water) Hybrid bermudas like Tifway Zoysiagrass Common bermudagrass, U-3 Buffalograss (uses the least water)
23 Create Practical Turf Areas Consider: Reducing the size of water-sensitive lawns through the use of patios, decks, shrub beds and groundcovers The ease or difficulty of watering the proposed area Long narrow and small odd-shaped areas are difficult to irrigate efficiently
24 Use Mulches Mulch Conserves soil moisture Reduces weeds Prevents soil compaction Moderates soil temperatures
25 Use Mulches
