Drought-Tolerant Plants for Water Conservation Landscaping

Maximillian Parker • March 5, 2025
With spring evolving into summer across the California's South Bay, from Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, or Torrance, homeowners and businesses alike are soon to give the outside world beyond them a makeover. At CG Tree & Landscape Inc., with 40+ years of experience serving the South Bay, we recognize that green landscaping is not a fad-it's a necessity. With water conservation at the forefront of minds in California, now is the ideal time to turn your yard into a green oasis that prospers on green practices throughout the hottest summer months.

Why Sustainable Landscaping Is Important in South Bay California?

The seaside climate of the South Bay presents specific opportunities—and challenges—to landscaping. Hot, dry-weather summers with extended dry periods require wise management of water, particularly in high-end neighborhoods such as Palos Verdes Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes, where landscapes provide curb appeal. Green landscaping provides both beauty and economy, giving your outdoor living area bloom without throwing resources to the wind. For a homeowner wanting to create a eco-friendlylow-maintenance lawn solution for the future.

Spring Prep: Creating a Water-Wise Foundation

Spring is the ideal season to prepare your landscape for success:
  • Choose Drought-Tolerant Plants: Cultivate local plantings like California lilac or sage that thrive on Torrance sandy soil and Palos Verdes sun-baked slopes. These plantings need minimal watering and attract neighborhood insects, supporting the diversity of your garden.

  • Improve Irrigation: Our skilled staff at CG Tree & Landscape installs efficient drip irrigation systems tailored to your property. More efficient than outdated sprinklers, drip systems deliver water at the roots, conserving waste and encouraging health.

  • Mulch for Retaining Moisture: Organic mulch on plants retains moisture and stops evaporation—a must as temperatures rise into summer.

Summer Maintenance: Nurturing with Conservation in Mind

As South Bay weather warms up in summer, eco-friendly landscaping care makes your lawn grow strong and water usage minimal:
  • Xeriscaping: This water-saving technique is our specialty that features succulents instead of water-thirsty lawns. It's a sophisticated, low-maintenance aesthetic ideal for Palos Verdes mansions or Torrance gardens.

  • Tree Care: Healthy trees also provide shade to other plants, saving water for the plants around them. Our arborists are certified to provide you with professional tree care to promote growth and durability in scorching summer weather.

  • Smart Watering Schedules: Watering in the morning or evening minimizes evaporation. With more than four decades of experience, we can modify your watering schedule to meet the demands of the season.
