Paso RoblesCity to convert 1.5 acres of decorative turf ahead of state irrigation ban
Heads up, Paso neighbors: the city is getting ready to pull up about 1.5 acres of decorative turf ahead of the state's irrigation ban. The Paso Robles Daily News reports that crews will start converting selected grassy spots that are purely ornamental — think medians and landscaping that nobody actually walks on. This is one of those quiet changes that will be visible around town. The state is pushing communities to save water, and decorative grass is first on the chopping block. It might look a little different for a while, but the trade-off is a more drought-tolerant Paso. Keep an eye out for the work starting, and don't be surprised if your favorite patch of green along the road gets a makeover. It's all part of the bigger water picture here on the Central Coast.
