Landscape Efficiency Requirements

In order to install a new landscape or retrofit a current one, you must meet the requirements of the City's Green Building Program.

These requirements discourage wasting water and encourage the planting of native, Bay Friendly and low-water use landscaping.  These landscapes require less water and less pesticide use.

The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department offers workshops and rebates to assist you in this effort.
