Irrigation
This property sits in a subdivision with man-made ponds that are connected to local irrigation streams. All irrigation water will come from this source, as opposed to the municipal water system, lowering the home’s overall demands. Great lengths will also be taken to install a highly efficient automated irrigation system that will include sub-terrainium watering, rainfall detection sensors and seasonal watering schedules.
Landscape Design & Plants
The lot for this home will remain largely undisturbed (about 70%). This lowers the artificial watering demand and promotes native growth. The landscaping that will be installed will be carefully chosen to be highly drought tolerant, low water demand, and indigenous to further lessen unnecessary water demands often created by improperly chosen or excessive plant material.
