One of our flagship projects ,the Pi House, has received City of Norman Water\u2019s Worth It\u2122 Landscape Award. <\/a>The city presents the award every month “to a resident of Norman for creative and attractive landscape maintenance and appearance, while demonstrating wise water use. Conservation techniques and native or drought tolerant vegetation are greatly encouraged”. We have made every effort to make this site as drought tolerant and eco friendly as possible. We designed and installed the irrigation system which is mostly drip based and uses a rain\/freeze sensor and we have also selected plantings that need very little of the irrigation water. Our main design mandate with this project was that all plantings should be either native, water-wise or edible. It’s nice to be recognized by the City for this project and the award itself is a really cool idea. I hope it will encourage more people to consider alternatives to the landscape status quo and to conserve our precious water resources. \u00a0I’m also hoping that the city won’t be able to complain about our Wheat\/Sweet Potato rotation Ag lawn since they’re giving us an award! I’ll be posting more about this project as time permits (thus far I’ve only covered the interesting little patio design<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
