Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
Water-wise plants can be beautiful as well as practical.
Ask for low water use plants at your local nursery.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
