California's LawnsAug 27, 201513mGuest: Esther Margulies, American Society of Landscape Architects, USC School of Architecture A new report out today from the California state board that oversees water shows city-dwellers have cut their water use by a third in the last year.

The cut-backs have wrought a conspicuous change to California’s once-verdant neighborhoods. Many lawns are now the color of straw. Many are simply gone, as homeowners take advantage of cash incentives to rip out their turf.
