Helix Water District, in conjunction with Padre Dam
Municipal Water District, Otay Water District, Sweetwater
Authority, and the Water
Conservation Garden, with partial funding provided
by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, acquired the services
of four widely known San Diego landscape architects
to draw model landscape plans that comport with the
state's new Model Landscape Ordinance.
The Landscapes for San Diego Project produced four exciting
landscape plans. They are available FREE and can be
downloaded (links below), printed, and used to assist
homeowners in making their landscapes adhere to the
Maximum Applied Water Allowance assigned by city and
county planning divisions when redesigns or new landscapes
requiring permits are developed.
The architects themed their plans to fit common family
audiences: Empty Nesters/Entertainer Landscape, Pet
Friendly Landscape, Children Friendly Landscape, and
Native/Wildlife Friendly Landscape.
Beautiful plant pallets were used by each of the architects.

agency. A list of these agencies can be found in the Model
Water Efficient landscape Ordinance brochure.
