Four-Class Landscape Makeover Series

Transform Your Yard into a Beautiful Water-Saving Landscape

The WaterSmart Landscape Makeover Series is an educational program that will empower you to upgrade your high-water-use turf area into a WaterSmart landscape. This is done through four classes with lectures, hands-on lab work, demonstrations, homework assignments and one-on-one coaching by local landscape and irrigation professionals, all at no cost to you.

This is a four-class series. Your enrollment means that you’ve committed to attending all four classes. What you learn each week will build upon the knowledge you’ve gained the previous week. The big payoff is waiting for you in the last class – an hour of one-on-one coaching with a local landscape professional focused on your project!

To participate in this series you MUST meet the following requirements:

  • be a homeowner
  • identify an existing turf area for removal (brown or dead turf that is evident in a recent, original photograph is acceptable)
  • have an in-ground, working irrigation system (sprinkler heads, irrigation valves or controllers shown in a recent, original photograph are acceptable)
  • commit to attending all four classes in the series
  • apply online and be approved for enrollment

It’s FREE and it’s EASY so apply today!
