BE PART OF THE SOLUTION

Stop filling landfills - fill your pockets instead!  We can eliminate unnecessary spending and waste by making your surroundings more sustainable and efficient. Here are 3 easy ways to make it happen:

1. Get a Smart Timer- properly installed and maintained, water use and water bills will be drastically reduced. Less wasted water typically means less growth and less trimming.

2. Limit Turf- Instead of constantly fighting the turf in your community or home - eliminate it and plant something more suitable. Less mowing more beauty.

3. Slow Growing- Plant the right slow growing material and the maintenance burden will be drastically reduced.

Water Less, it's better for your landscape.

DID YOU KNOW?

One recent water district study indicated that if the amount of water wasted in California was reduced by only 10 percent, it could save up to 50 billion gallons a year -- the same amount needed to supply the residential needs of a large city. Don't spike your water usage in March. Ease the percentage used based on ET Rates found online. Become a Monarch Champion by lowering your water usage by 10% this year.

3. Watering Schedule

4. Site Inspection- Have a routine site inspection to accomplish last months goals
