Northern Water’s online resources highlight natural grasses and plants that are compatible with Colorado landscapes. You’ll find guidance on selecting species that thrive in our climate, along with tips for building a yard that uses less water without sacrificing appearance. Northern Water also recommends smart irrigation controllers, which help you water more efficiently by adjusting schedules based on weather and soil conditions. With these tools, you can build a healthier yard, reduce water waste and lower your monthly use.

Northern Water emphasizes natural solutions that work with our environment, including native plants and grasses. Native species are adapted to Colorado’s climate and require far less water, maintenance and fertilizer than traditional turf. Incorporating these options into your landscape supports local ecosystems and helps you maintain a resilient, attractive yard year-round.
