Considering the drought may continue for a longer period of time – scientists still aren’t sure how long it will take for the climate return to what we knew as normal, – moving toward more drought-tolerant landscaping may be a good way to cut your water usage.

This change doesn’t have to result in a dull backyard – quite the contrary actually. There are plenty of ways to spice up your landscaping, using stone features and even patterned artificial truf.
