The Treasure Valley in Idaho has a deadly combination of dry climate, hot summers, and watering restrictions in certain areas. These things can make water-wise landscaping more important than ever. The great news is you can still have a beautiful yard while using far less water. Here are a few tips to help keep a beautiful landscape at your home while saving water and money.

Select Plants Which Thrive in Your Climate
There are many striking drought-tolerant plants that not only thrive in Idaho, but are native to the state. They usually are less demanding for water and maintenance. Look into plants such as lavender, coneflower, sedum, juniper, yarrow, russian sage, or ice plants. Be sure to check if your plant selection is safe for any pets you may have!

Water Early & Use Drip Irrigation
Aim for watering before 9am. As the temperature rises, so does the amount of water which evaporates before it can soak into the soil. Using drip irrigation where possible lowers your water loss even more. Set your watering system schedule to early morning and you won't have to worry!

Consider Mulch or Decorative Rock
Mulch prevents moisture from quickly evaporating and keeps the soil temperature lower. You can also add decorative rock beds to your landscape borders in place of additional water-hungry grass lawn.
