Xeriscape
Drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation form the heart of ecofriendly xeriscape landscaping
Xeriscapes are low-water landscape designs that offer attractive and environment-friendly alternatives to grass lawns, conserving water with drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation.
Drought-tolerant plants like succulents actually prefer less water.
Grouping plants with similar water needs and using effective irrigation help make xeriscapes successful.
A xeriscape typically uses decomposed granite, gravel and other mulch to keep moisture from quickly evaporating from the soil. Large stones add maintenance-free interest to low-water gardens.
