Water Wisely
An overhead sprinkler isn’t the most efficient way to water. And a watering can takes a lot of time and effort. Consider either a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose, both of which will direct water to the base of plants, where it’s needed. Using these hoses also cuts down on evaporation, especially if they’re covered with mulch. Learn how to install drip irrigation.

Add Color Creatively
While drought-tolerant landscaping definitely can be colorful, it may not be as thickly planted as the landscapes you’re used to seeing. That’s good because in the end, it will require less water. To fill the space (and your color quotient), consider adding some garden art. It’s a good way to inject not only color into a landscape, but also character.
