Landscapers list options to maintain your backyard, like xeriscaping, drought\u002Dfriendly vegetation and frugal irrigation system practices
Should I change the grass in my backyard?The grass seed mix sold nowadays is a blend of three species adapted to save some water, according to Chris Jenson, owner of Calgary Landscaping. Manufacturers of the mix, he added, claim the blend saves about 30 per cent of water usage.
The tricky bit lies in adequately watering plants that have been newly transplanted. New transplants often require more water in the first few weeks to help them adapt to the soil and find their roots, mitigating the shock of being in a new environment. Drip irrigation and soaker hose systems, Jenson said, can help support new transplants while adhering to water restrictions.Article content
“You’re probably spending another 10 to 15 per cent to go with gravel instead of mulches ,” Jenson explained. “It’s probably almost four times the cost if you’re going to switch your grass from traditional to synthetic. So there’s a big heavy game packed financially in that regard.”Article content
