Water scarcity in developed countries along the Mediterranean coast maybe aggravated in the near future due to rising water demand. The recent growth oflow-density urban developments in these regions has led to an increase in thenumber of private domestic gardens. These particular landscapes may account fora large proportion of total domestic water use. This article examines the features andmanagement practices of private gardens in relation to their relative water requirements.To calculate this variable, we use a method based on the relative waterneeds of garden species and the area of vegetation cover. In addition, transformationsin the layouts of the gardens over the last 5 years, as well as variousexpected changes, are assessed. In total, 258 domestic gardens along the coast ofCatalonia were investigated and their owners interviewed. A list of all plantsgrowing in the gardens was recorded. The results indicate that the presence of turf isrelated to professional landscaping design, property age, and swimming poolpresence. Moreover, gardens with greater landscape water requirements have moreefficient watering systems. We present a progressive strategy for garden restructuringthat may reduce water use while increasing the number of orchards and fruittrees
