Water Efficient Landscape Guidelines & Templates
Water Efficient Landscape Guidelines &
Templates
The City of Rocklin has
developed Residential Landscape Templates that are meant
to provide guidance for submitting residential landscape plans
for new construction in compliance with the State’s Model
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance
(MWELO) which is in effect as of December 1,
2015.
As indicated in the templates, the City strongly prefers natural
turf solutions and provides direction in terms of irrigation
methods to support turf but will accept alternatives in accord
with the templates. Projects located within Whitney Ranch
must comply with the Whitney Ranch Design Guidelines Manual and
not the enclosed templates.
Artificial Turf
The City cannot prohibit artificial turf approaches to landscape
design but discourages their consideration. Selection and
installation of artificial turf materials and systems shall
comply with the City’s templates where possible and otherwise be
in accord with the guidelines promulgated by the Synthetic
Turf Council.
