Landscaping companies are essential partners in implementing water-efficient landscape practices across the Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) sector. They directly influence the design, installation, and maintenance of irrigated landscapes at a wide range of property types—including HOAs, business parks, schools, retail centers, office complexes, hospitals, and places of worship. These landscapes often include medians, entryways, decorative turf areas, and underused lawns that meet the definition of non-functional turf (NFT).
As trusted providers of routine maintenance and landscape advice, contractors play a gatekeeping role in identifying NFT and recommending upgrades. Landscapers are often the first to recognize opportunities for turf conversion and are well-positioned to connect clients with available rebates and technical resources. When trained and engaged, they become a vital link between water agencies and customers—supporting compliance, landscape transformation, and long-term water savings.
