Pasco County

• Right Plant, Right Place
  Plants selected to suit the specific site will require minimal amounts of water, fertilizer and pesticides.
• Water Efficiently
  Irrigate only when your lawn and landscape need water.  Efficient watering is the key to a healthy Florida yard and conservation of our limited water resources.
• Fertilize Appropriately
  Less is often best.  Over-utilization of fertilizers can be hazardous to your yard and environment.
• Mulch
  Maintaining a 3" layer of mulch will help retain soil moisture, prevent erosion, and suppress weeds.
• Attract Wildlife
  Plants in your yard that provide food, water and shelter can conserve Florida's diverse wildlife.
• Control Yard Pests Responsibly
  Unwise use of pesticides can harm people, pets, beneficial organisms and the environment.
• Recycle
  Grass clippings, leaves and yard trimmings, if recycled on site, add nutrients to the soil and reduce waste disposal.
• Reduce Stormwater Runoff
  Waterfront property, whether on a bay, river, stream, pond or beach, is very fragile and should be protected as a natural treasure.
