That would not resolve a thing. Workers would be required to weed, fertilize, trim, remove sickly and replant with new on a regular basis. I am guessing the program they have implemented is cheaper in the long run.
Cities throughout Florida have always placed restrictions on watering during times of little rain or drought. After a rainy season, the restrictions get lifted. It has been this way for decades.
The Villages population is small compared to cities like Miami and Jacksonville. Restrictions are tougher in these larger cities when a drought persists.
