Smarter tools for a "greener" lawn.

8/24/2021

 
Creating landscapes meant to encourage sustainability and long-term livability in the face of increasingly dynamic weather conditions is incredibly difficult.  Doing it without access to the necessary tools and/or materials is impossible.  That is why TWCA is building a suite of tools to help professionals and novices alike access the resources they  need to create and maintain water conserving landscapes.

To make sure everyone can access the closest source of TWCA Qualified materials, TWCA has added the TWCA Industry Member map to our Qualified Products Page.  The key differentiates between Producer and Distributor (green and blue respectively)  between sod and seed interests (grass icon and seed icon(s) respectively).

​This is a compliment to the TWCA Calculator which provides realistic estimates of sprinkler run times in minutes.  ​

By using these two tools in conjunction consumers and professionals alike can take advantage of the water saving potential of TWCA Qualified Drought Tolerant Turf.
