Project Overview
SmartScape I is the first installment of four SmartScape areas, created during the Fall and Winter of 2019.
The design and installation of SmartScape I complies with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). This means that the area has a calculated water budget via MWELO standards, and must perform within or below this water budget.
SmartScape I features both native and non-native, water-conserving plant and shrub species as well as Eco-Wrap sub-surface irrigation.
