Featured Project: Keeping Plants Alive
Trees cool urban heat islands, and their health should be a priority under drought and water restrictions. They can cool surface temperatures of asphalt, dark mulch, and synthetic turf by under 60 degrees in inland and desert cities. Here are more tips on how to keep plants alive under drought and water restrictions.
