Here at Triad Associates Inc., we are proud to help homeowners all over the Boston area achieve beautiful outdoor spaces with high-quality hardscaping. One of the many important elements to a well-designed yard is irrigation, and it just so happens to be Smart Irrigation Month! Take a look at some helpful tips for landscape design that doesn’t waste water.
- Mulch around plants, shrubs, and trees. This will lessen evaporation and help make the most of the water they receive.
- Create “hydro-zones”- group plants together in your yard according to how much water they need, so you’ll be able to give them the right amount without over-watering.
- Save grass for functional areas where it will actually be appreciated and enjoyed- like play space for the kids. Also keep in mind the particularities of your lot. A heavily sloped hill may be better suited to ground cover. Retaining walls can help create more usable space for planting flowers and shrubs.
