Do It Yourself Landscape Guide

The “Do it Yourself” Landscape Guide” (ADWR, 2006) provides color photographs, landscape and irrigation design plans, and a recommended plant list for 18 different landscape plans for single-family homes. The landscape plans provide a variety of options, ranging from xeriscape to turf areas, to meet individual needs and preferences.

The Arizona Municipal Water Users Association (AMWUA) is a voluntary non-profit corporation established by municipalities in Maricopa County for the development of urban water resources policy. AMWUA offers free online resources regarding lanscaping, xeriscape and plant selection to its members and the general public.
