Since the early settlers pioneered their wagons across these sandy dunes, and many opting to stop and start a home and family, we natives to the Coachella Valley are now able to bask in all their hard work and efforts. In relation to desert landscaping, our dwellings require a special breed of foliage and care if they are to remain capable of withstanding the oftentimes harsh climate. It was recently announced that within four-five years of the date of this article, the state of California have ordered a compliance to convert natural grass in HOA, business, and municipal development common areas to artificial turf or desert scape in a bid to accelerate water conservation. Homeowners will still be able to display natural grass front and back gardens, but for how long, no one can be sure. However, the year-round clean, beautiful, low maintenance, and water conscious solution of artificial turf is a popular, less costly, less timely, and more viable alternate in a climate who’s temperatures demand so greatly from our precious water resources.
