Some friends of ours have redone their yard in a water wise manner. They took
out all grass in the front
yard and put in a water wise desert landscape. They have in-ground lines they
can tap into for drip lines for plants that require water. The yard has a
theme of a miner going for gold who finds his demise in the desert at the Last
Chance Mine. |

His remains are seen at the mine. The wooden structures were build by the
owners and all plantings were done by the owners. She has a green thumb and
seems to be able to grow just about anything and he is pretty creative in
his talents building things for the yard. The have probably close to 100
solar powered lights highlighting different items and plants in the yard. |

The watering system measures water in the yard and can control watering
based on any moisture that falls. Part of this work qualified for rebates
for installing water wise landscaping. This uses much less water then
grass and never needs to be mowed. There is fabric under the landscaping
to help keep weeds out so it is much less maintenance then grass also. A
very green thing to do and we applaud the work and effort. |
