Water-Wise is not all rock! Removing all vegetation creates a landscape that is unusable and overtime will be hard to maintain. Too much grass (fence to fence) is also not water-wise. Water-wise is a balanced approach. Taking the landscape and divding it into thirds. One third is a high water area, second third is landscape beds and final third is no water at all. Think hardscapes, patio, shed,retaining wall, etc.
