Xeriscaping

Xeriscape is a landscape design approach that aims to reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation. In an increasingly drier climate, this is a key action to sustain our life in the west. This can look different depending on the install. Not all landscaping companies and residents look at it the same way.

Our definition:

Xeriscape as a landscape design philosophy that seeks to optimize the usage of water for the beauty and function of a landscape in the context of the native ecology.


 
 

Many landscapers go about Xeriscape like this… a desert. But here you have a space abundant with habitat and beneficial plants for native wildlife and insects. There is a diversity of root structures feeding the soil. The water use in this landscape is a highly efficient set up of drip irrigation. A beautiful space to wander through and find inspiration.
