PGS Landscape is committed to going green! Lower your water consumption effectively with our eco-friendly landscaping solutions in Santa Cruz.
California's ongoing drought conditions make water-efficient landscaping more important than ever. PGS Landscape helps Santa Cruz homeowners and businesses transition to beautiful, low-water landscapes that look great while dramatically reducing water usage.
Our Drought-Tolerant Solutions
Water-Wise Plants
We select and install plants native to California and the Mediterranean climate — plants that thrive in our conditions with minimal supplemental watering once established. These include:
- California natives (manzanita, ceanothus, toyon)
- Succulents and ornamental grasses
- Mediterranean herbs (lavender, rosemary, sage)
- Drought-resistant perennials and groundcovers
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots, eliminating waste from overspray and evaporation. PGS installs efficient drip systems that can reduce water usage by up to 50% compared to traditional sprinkler systems.
Replacing Sod with Drought-Tolerant Alternatives
Traditional lawns are among the biggest water consumers in any landscape. PGS can replace your sod lawn with:
- Artificial turf — No watering required
- Drought-tolerant groundcovers
- Decomposed granite and gravel areas with accent plantings
- Native meadow plantings
Smart Irrigation Controllers
We install weather-based irrigation controllers that automatically adjust watering schedules based on real-time weather conditions — ensuring your landscape gets exactly the water it needs, nothing more.
