Pomona encourages water-efficient landscaping under MWELO. Native and drought-tolerant plants are promoted. CA law prohibits cities from banning drought-tolerant landscaping.
Pomona increasingly supports native plant landscaping and xeriscaping for water conservation and habitat restoration. Some jurisdictions offer rebates for lawn replacement with drought-tolerant plants. HOAs in many states can no longer prohibit xeriscaping or native plant gardens. Municipal water restrictions may effectively require low-water landscaping for new developments. Native plant lists are typically available from local cooperative extension offices. Invasive species removal may be required or incentivized.
Varies by jurisdiction. HOA fines for non-compliance may be unenforceable if state law protects xeriscaping rights.
