As you know, San Diego is in the midst of a water crisis that requires we all cut back our water use. It is a fact that on average over 60% of the water used in residential households goes to irrigating our yards. Most water agencies in San Diego County have implemented mandatory water conservation measures that include selected days and times when watering is permitted. There may be penalties and higher rates for exceeding allotted water usage.
Nature Designs has been developing and maintaining water wise landscapes for more than 25 years. We favor drip irrigation for most applications, but are skilled irrigation designers and installers of all types of irrigation needs.
