Desert Landscaping In Anaheim Grows In Popularity

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Oct. 25, 2017 - PRLog -- There is a renewed interest in desert landscaping in Anaheim, better known as xeriscaping.  While this may seem odd to some who are used to the lush and green landscapes that are seen at so many estates and homes in the area, and especially because it is well known that nearly any plant can be grown in the area due to the warm weather and consistent temperatures year round, still there is a large number of people who are now vesting interest in completely removing water loving plants from their yards.

In recent months, Coastal Greenscapes has noticed an increasing number of customers requesting methods of reducing their water consumption, and landscaping choices that are both natural and maintenance free.  It is assumed that this is due to the recent drought situation, where watering restrictions in the name of conservation made it illegal to water your existing lawn enough to keep it green and alive.  It literally did not matter if you could afford the water bill, you simply were not allowed to water your plants enough to keep them healthy.  This was due to  a significant decrease in the amount of rainfall and snow in the mountains that replenish the reserve supply.  When water in reserve falls to a level that is deemed unsafe for the ability of the entire population to have access to clean drinking water, automatic restrictions against waste go into effect.  It can take upwards of 55 gallons of water per square foot of grass every year to stay green, and although it is important to resident's investments in their landscaping to keep the plants alive, it does not take priority over living beings having access to water.  In these cases, everyone must participate in conservation efforts.

The two main ways of conserving are to cut back on water waste and to proactively remove the plants that waste water, in favor of landscaping ideas that do not.  Desert landscaping is the concept of using natural elements of the desert in a way that beautifies a yard, and even though it does not look traditional for Anaheim, it helps the cause of saving water.  It also protects landscaping investments, as there is no guarantee that the new grass and sod that you install this year might not be killed off by more restrictions next year.  Coastal Greenscapes can be reached for a free consultation through their website at http://scturf.com/
