What the homeowner wanted.
Bring an established Yorba Linda landscape into MWELO compliance for permit and qualify the homeowner for the local turf-replacement rebate.
Site conditions and constraints.
Existing hardscape constraints, a hot inland exposure that taxed the old spray-irrigation system, and a homeowner who still wanted the yard to read as lush from the street.
How we resolved it.
Hydrozoned drip retrofit, weather-based smart controller, and a planting refresh tuned to the new MWELO water budget — without removing any existing hardscape.
How the project actually unfolded.
The Yorba Linda homeowners had been quoted a full tear-out by two other firms. The water district had flagged the property and the rebate clock was ticking. They didn't want to lose the patio, the walls, or the existing trees — they wanted the water bill solved.
We modeled the MWELO water budget against the existing hardscape footprint first. The math said a hydrozoned drip retrofit plus a planting refresh would land inside the budget with margin. No demolition required.
The submittal cleared MWELO review on first pass and the rebate paperwork was approved within a month of install.
What changed for the homeowner.
Water use down roughly 55% in the first full year, MWELO compliance documented for the file, and a turf-replacement rebate check in the homeowner's hand — all without touching the existing hardscape.
