Ready for a yard that thrives with less water this summer? Drought-tolerant landscapes can stay beautiful while conserving water and protecting San Diego’s watersheds during the hottest months of the year. ☀️

Why are drought-tolerant landscapes so important?

💧 They reduce outdoor water use by relying on plants that naturally need less irrigation

🐟 They help prevent runoff and erosion that can carry pollutants into local creeks, rivers, and the ocean

Interested in upgrading your landscape? The Waterscape Rebate Program can help you get started with resources and rebates for sustainable landscaping improvements.

Spring is the perfect time to grow a healthy and resilient rain garden! 🌧️🌱

Rain gardens capture and absorb runoff, helping reduce pollution, prevent erosion, and recharge groundwater. When planted with California native species, they also create habitat for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds!

Keep your rain garden working effectively with these simple steps:

✂️ Prune overgrowth and remove weeds to maintain healthy plants and water flow.
🍂 Remove sediment and debris to improve absorption.
🪏 Check for erosion and stabilize soil as needed.

Big news for Lakeside and Valle De Oro! The County is making major progress in strengthening community flood protection. We’re excited to share that the repairs to the storm drain system on Happy Way are now complete. The Flood Control Major Maintenance Project focuses on maintaining and repairing existing storm drain culverts—critical infrastructure that channels stormwater, reduces flood risks, and protects nearby homes, businesses, and roadways.
With Happy Way complete, similar repairs are underway on Casa De La Torre Court, with Burkshire Place up next. These repairs were identified through routine inspections that flag deficiencies in the flood control system. By addressing the highest‑priority sites each year, the County helps ensure the entire system functions efficiently and reliably, especially during heavy rain events.

Thinking about replacing your grass with California native or drought-tolerant plants? Spring is when many California native plants bloom across our region. Imagine seeing them thrive in your own yard next year!

The San Diego County Waterscape Rebate Program helps homeowners install water-wise landscaping that can conserve water, save money, and beautify your home. Even better—you can now earn an extra $1 per square foot when you install native plants on all or part of your landscape! 🌼

California native plants do more than enhance your yard, they:
💧 Help conserve water
🦋 Support local pollinators and biodiversity
🌱 Improve soil health
🧰 Reduce long-term maintenance and costs

By choosing California native plants, you can create a more sustainable landscape while connecting your home to the natural environment—and earn a rebate at the same time!
