Smart Outdoor Practices

Most outdoor water use—80 to 90 percent—is for lawn irrigation. However, having a beautiful landscape doesn't have to mean using a lot of water. By following these simple steps, you can design a landscape that requires less maintenance and water to stay healthy, green, and attractive:

• Design a water-efficient landscape that is colorful, dynamic, and gives your home added curb appeal.
• Water wisely by following a few simple practices, such as watering your yard only when needed and watering in the morning.
• Consider water-efficient irrigation technology such as a WaterSense labeled weather-based irrigation controller to reduce your outdoor water use.
• Find a WaterSense irrigation partner to ensure your irrigation system runs without wasting water.
