The Texas Urban Landscape Guide is a resource of science-based information related to the design, installation and maintenance of WaterWise landscapes for the principal plant adaptability regions in Texas.

Beautiful landscapes and wise water management go together. Good horticultural practice includes putting the right plant in the right place, and providing only the minimum inputs such as water and fertilizer.

This website is a supplement to the Best Management Practices Manual produced by the Texas Water Conservation Task Force. This resource also provides consumers and property managers helpful information about implementing wise water management practices on their property.
