Whether you’re native to the Lone Star State or a transplant, you already know Texas is like a whole other country. But San Antonio’s climate is extra special, and your landscape often needs some TLC — or Texas-loving-care.
While spring rains have greened things up, the drought isn’t over and our hot, dry summer months are yet to come.
So SAWS wants to help you tap into your inner Texan and “Wrangle your water use.”
It’s easier than you think. To get started:
- Make sure you’re following Stage 2 watering rules — yes, they’re still in effect. That means landscape watering with a sprinkler, irrigation system or soaker hose only from 7-11 a.m. and 7-11 p.m., one day a week, based on the last number of your street address.
- Rely on your trusty watering hose — it’s your best friend when plants need a touch up and you can water with a hose-end nozzle any ol’ time.
- Use our WaterSaver coupons and rebates to make your landscape Texas tough!
Native and low-water use plants make your life easier because they thrive in San Antonio’s dry climate. SAWS residential customers can apply for up to $400 in WaterSaver coupons to replace part of your water-demanding grass with lush, drought-tolerant garden beds.
You can also replace that pain-to-maintain grass with a new deck or patio!
Use our Outdoor Living Rebate to help cover the cost of a wooden deck or hardscape made of pavers or stones.
