"When the well runs dry, we will know the worth of water." -- Benjamin Franklin
Our team are experts in the design and construction of MWELO/AB-1881 compliant Water Conservation
Demonstration Gardens, including new garden construction, and reconstruction. Through innovative design,
state-of-the-art technologies, and practical water conservation strategies, a Water Conservation
Demonstration Garden by AQUASave provides excellent educational and community outreach opportunities.
Irrigation and Landscape ‘Build” Phase
Soil Testing – Soil analysis can disclose problems that could be dealt with during the soil amendment process.
Soil Amendment – The existing grasses are killed then re-mulched, or incorporated into the root zone, along with the natural organic amendment materials recommended in the soil test report.
Weed Grow and Kill – Original plants that are removed will have a tendency to return during establishment of the new planting. Therefore, after the soil amendment, a period of irrigation to germinate potential weeds and re-grow
Irrigation Retrofit – As cost reduction strategy, irrigation designs may include use of existing infrastructure. The result is the inclusion of several customized construction procedures as well as the use of:
Landscape Planting – Special drought resistant sod and primarily one gallon sized plants were installed to insure that the new root systems would be vigorous and become established quickly.
Landscape Establishment – A 90 day period of intensive plant establishment care immediately followed the completion of the planting.

Pre-construction GPS Irrigation and Landscape Audit
Establishes baseline data based on a digital base plan of existing/original irrigation and landscape in support of the planning process and ROI measurements.
Provides an accurate digital record of the location of the existing irrigation equipment [valves, lines and heads] to allow the designer to accurately depict the configuration of the new more efficient system.
Provides an accurate digital record of the location of the existing plants, which allows the designer to accurately depict which plants will be retained or replaced. A pre-construction GPS landscape audit can also provide an evaluation of the ‘before’ level of carbon offset.
