And just in time, the WaterSaver Landscape Coupon program returns with new fall offerings. The two package options — full sun or full shade — will be available Sept. 15-Nov. 30 to SAWS residential water customers.
To get the $100 coupon, you must replace 200 square feet of grass with a drought-tolerant garden bed made up of 15 low-water plants from a specific package. More ambitious gardeners may apply for two coupons to remove 400 square feet.Some new and exciting aspects of the fall edition include:
- New plant choices including lavender, shrimp plant,
- A full shade package will be offered, appropriate for homes where very little sunlight makes it through the tree canopy.
- The mulch purchase is no longer required at the nursery where you buy your plants. However, you still must apply 1 cubic yard (about 14 standard bags) of mulch — organic or crushed granite/rock — to the new bed. You can even make your own using leaves, wood chips or rocks as long as it is 2 inches deep.
Don't forget that if you have an in-ground irrigation system, you will have to cap the spray heads in the bed before planting. By doing this, you may also qualify for our newly streamlined Residential Irrigation Design rebate.
In addition to the 15 drought-tolerant plants, each package will include a garden bed plan and a plant care guide.For more information, http://www.saws.org/Conservation/Outdoor/Coupon/
