The latest project completed highlighting the benefits of water smart landscapes is a large commercial business visible on the north side of Route 78 in San Marcos. The replacement of nonfunctional turf at this commercial property has been transformed into a beautiful display that will brighten with blossoms as the plants mature and grow.
The City of San Marcos and the Vallecitos Water District applied to the San Diego County Water Authority’s Large Landscape Direct Install Assistance Program, a grant-supported pilot program accepting seven large-scale projects countywide. Eligible projects focus on nonfunctional turf replacement at commercial sites located in income-qualifying neighborhoods.
