Here are some Tips, tricks, and more

If you’re a homeowner or business looking to save money on your water bill, you’ve probably heard of water-wise landscaping. But what is a water-wise landscape, and how can a landscaping company help you achieve it?

Water-wise landscaping is a way of designing and maintaining a landscape that uses water more efficiently. This means using plants, materials, and practices that conserve water, reduce runoff, and protect the environment. It also means using less water overall, which can save money in the long run. 

At Lusan Landscaping, we take water-wise landscaping seriously. We use drought-tolerant plants that require less water and maintenance. We also choose plants that are already adapted to the climate and soil conditions. We use organic materials like mulch and compost to help retain moisture in the soil and reduce runoff. And we use water-efficient irrigation systems, like drip systems and soaker hoses, to target water directly to the plants that need it.

Below we’ve listed a few ways to start implementing water-wise practices in your home or commercial building:

• Choose drought-tolerant plants: When selecting plants for your landscape, opt for native or drought-tolerant varieties to reduce the amount of water needed for their maintenance. 

• Utilize irrigation systems: Invest in an irrigation system that’s designed to use water efficiently. This will save you time and money in the long run. 

• Reduce runoff: Use rock and mulch in your landscape to reduce runoff and erosion. These materials also help retain moisture in the soil. 

• Water deeply and infrequently: Allow the soil to dry out before watering and water deeply when you do. This will encourage deep root growth and help plants better withstand periods of drought.

By following these water-wise practices, we can help you create a landscape that is both environmentally friendly and thoughtfully designed.
