Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Water-wise plants can be beautiful as well as practical.
Ask for low water use plants at your local nursery.
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
