CONSERVATION CORNER

MOUNTAINSCAPING

A mountainscape is any landscape that is designed with a special focus on water conservation. Attractive landscapes can be designed that use relatively little water. Most of these will not include turf. However, small areas of thoughtfully placed turf may be included in your mountainscape. Although, the majority of a mountainscape will most likely be composed of features like gazebos, pathways, gravel and rock features, and woodchips, etc. with carefully placed low water-use plantings. To discuss these topics, and other water conservation associated with mountainscapes, contact Bill at the DWP office 866-5050.
