Why a Drought-Tolerant Garden Makes Sense in California

With California’s changing climate and yearly water restrictions, more homeowners are rethinking the traditional lawn. A drought-tolerant garden isn’t just about using less water — it’s about creating an outdoor space that is beautiful, resilient, and effortless to maintain.

🌼 Why homeowners love drought-tolerant landscapes:


• Use up to 50–70% less water than a traditional lawn

• Lower monthly utility bills


• Less mowing, less maintenance, more time to enjoy the space


• Year-round color and texture from native + Mediterranean plants


• Better habitat for pollinators and local wildlife
 • Increased property value with a modern, sustainable aesthetic

💸 And yes — many cities offer rebates for replacing turf with water-wise plantings (often $2–$5 per sq ft depending on your water district). It’s a smart investment that pays you back.
