Networx enjoyed meeting its many members who had come to the website asking home improvement questions, and offering tips before the show. By far, the most asked questions were about landscaping and solar panels. With spring in the air and the sun shining high, plants and panels were the stars of the show and on Networx.com

After the show be sure to look for advice and tips from people and pros in your area to make the most of your purchases. Check out this thoughtful green tip shared on Networx by Square Root Design Studio, Landscapers from San Diego:

For everybody planning on Gardening and installing a lawn this year…

“A typical household devotes up to 70 percent of its 350 gallons per day of water use for outdoor landscaping. The high percentage is partly due to the fact that lawns generally use four times more water than water-wise plantings. By installing low water use, drought tolerant landscaping (xeriscaping) and removing high water using turf (grass), outdoor water use will be greatly reduced.”
