Do we really want to look like Arizona? Weren’t many of us drawn to Calif. by the green lawns? It doesn’t take a project to have a city of dead lawns. That’s easy. Yes, some do look attractive, but will they stay like that? Just a thought.
Saving water is great, but we do need green to keep the atmosphere in Corona cool.
if the grass and lawn go then the gardener goes. His business folds his co wokers loose their jobs, more unemployeement and welfare. Poject rebates are funded by taxes and rate increases, welfare by taxes, unemployement by taxes. Reduced water revenue means more rate hikes to restore the lost revenue.
If home owners want no grass let them remove it but no organized rebates.
You are all assuming that lawn replacement can only be done with pebble or non-organic hardscape. This is not so. Please look into xeriscaping and water-wise landscaping before thumbing your nose at this project. Beautiful landscaping can be acheived without having a golf-course type turf in your yard. It is a sensible alternative to living in desert conditions and wasting millions of gallons of water…and the gardener, will still have a job, as maintenance is required, but in different ways.
