Capistrano Beach - Ocean Friendly Garden Home

• Description:
  We removed 1800 sq. ft. of lawn and replaced it with California native plants from the tree of Life Nursery. We have capped the irrigation system in this part of the yard and reduced our water usage by 60%. The remaining yard is watered by a smart scape system that measures meteorological data to optimize the watering scheduling and further reduces water usage. All the irrigation heads are low water, anti siphon, super efficient. This project is phase one of a complete conversion to an OFG property including replacement of plants with California Natives. All plants, irrigation upgrades and the turf removal were FREE using grants from the various water agencies in my area. The total grant money was $4,700.00!!! I can help anyone interested in doing the same thing in their yard!
