The credit requires Native/Adaptive vegetation, and turf seems out of the question. However, what if we use a turf variety that is Native with an addition of Low-water too? I have researched and found a turf that meets this criteria and we are considering using it for the water savings, low maintenance, and good drainage/filters rainwater nicely . Has anyone tried this approach and had turf allowed as long as it is native/adaptive?

Michelle, turf is not out of the question if it meets the credit requirements, but keep the credit intent in mind—to provide habitat.
