Water Efficient Landscaping
Water-efficient landscapes are designed to balance aesthetics, functionality, and responsible water use while supporting the long-term performance of the landscape. As a Landscape Design and Arborist Consultant in Los Angeles, CA, we provide site-specific plans tailored to the unique conditions of each project, including those subject to California's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO).
WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE DOCUMENTATION
Water-efficient landscape documentation may be prepared to support municipal requirements, permit applications, development projects, and landscape compliance objectives. Documentation requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction, project scope, and applicable regulations.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN PLAN
Landscape design plans may incorporate site conditions, plant selection, hydrozones, functionality, aesthetics, and long-term landscape objectives. Design approaches may vary depending on project goals, site constraints, and applicable water-efficiency requirements.
IRRIGATION DESIGN PLAN
Irrigation design plans may be developed to support efficient water distribution and long-term landscape performance. Planning considerations may include hydrozones, plant water requirements, irrigation coverage, smart irrigation controllers, slope conditions, and strategies intended to help minimize runoff, overspray, and low-head drainage where applicable.
MAXIMUM APPLIED WATER ALLOWANCE (MAWA) & ESTIMATED TOTAL WATER USE (ETWU)
Water budget calculations may include Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) and Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU) analyses where required by applicable regulations. These calculations help evaluate projected landscape water use and may be incorporated into water-efficient landscape documentation packages.
HYDROZONES & PLANT WATER REQUIREMENTS
Hydrozones group plants with similar water requirements to help support efficient irrigation planning and water management objectives. Plant selection, irrigation methods, and site conditions may influence hydrozone development and overall landscape water use.
WATER BUDGET WORKSHEETS & CALCULATIONS
Water budget worksheets and supporting calculations may be prepared to document landscape areas, hydrozones, irrigation efficiency, plant factors, and projected water use. Calculation requirements may vary depending on the municipality, jurisdiction, and project-specific requirements.
