Good native grass varieties that can survive on less water include buffalo (right) and zoysia grass (left).
According to a report on TWTX. com, landscape contractors across central Texas are being inundated with calls for landscape services after the February rains. Reportedly, hom- eowners are eager to revive their land- scapes following a year of drought damage.
"They're wanting to know what 50
can I plant that's low water, attractive; what can I do with my grass, what's a native grass and what are native plants?"
Landscape contractors can take advantage of this drought respite to educate themselves about low-water plant materials, and offer these to cur- rent and prospective clients.
