Draught Days of Summer.

 
The final weeks of Summer are almost certainly the hottest. As California continues to conserve water and energy resources, it is important to take note of the various repercussions this current Drought can have on your property. While cities begin formal implementation of “Watering Days” to limit the dates and times you are legally allotted to hydrate your landscape areas, it is clear that the status of water in our State is becoming an increasingly precious commodity. Water providers including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have introduced Tiers with increasing prices per unit of water. Both of these factors are the grand contributors to the dry, browning appearance of many lawns, yards, and common areas. Being that the severity of this use limitation continues without a definite end in sight, many are now opting for drought friendly designs to help maintain curb appeal. If you are in process of revamping your exteriors, consider using plants, succulents, and flowers specifically inclined to live in high heat, low water environments. These previously overlooked alternatives are now proving valuable as attractive, cost effective solutions to current constraints. Maximum Realty and Property Management is equipped to advise you on such changes and provides analysis on whether these such changes would reap long terms benefits to the management of your property.
