Reduce turf area
Remove some of your Kentucky bluegrass lawn and install more xeric plants, decks and paths. You can save 30-60 gallons of water, each time you water a 1,000 sq. ft. area. Plus, you won't have to mow as much. Also, Castle Rock Water offers turf removal / smartscape
rebates.
Choose shrubs and groundcover
Eliminate turf in hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated or narrow strips and replace with plants requiring less water.
