CHECKLIST: WATER EFFICIENTLY<br />
This checklist considers two irrigation alternatives:<br />
1. A landscape that does not use an irrigation system<br />
2. A landscape that uses an irrigation system (in-ground, micro-irrigation, or<br />
hose-end sprinklers)<br />
(If clients operate their irrigation system manually, their landscape should be<br />
evaluated by the irrigation system criteria.)<br />
FOR A LANDSCAPE THAT DOES NOT USE AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM:<br />
<strong>Landscape</strong> is designed and<br />
maintained to exist on rainfall and<br />
minimal hand watering once plants<br />
are established.<br />
(14 points) (pp. 8-9)<br />
No Partial Points Available<br />
Examples of lush landscapes that exist exclusively<br />
on rainfall are found in nature and our native plant<br />
communities.<br />
Newly installed plants need frequent water, but it’s<br />
possible to maintain an established landscape with<br />
minimal supplemental water.<br />
If clients have an irrigation system but they do<br />
not use it, they can be awarded points for this<br />
category.<br />
Quick Tip<br />
Present a<br />
united front.<br />
<strong>Landscape</strong> advisors<br />
need to present a united<br />
position when discussing<br />
landscapes with clients. A balanced<br />
pro-and-con discussion may help them<br />
understand your position.<br />
