Xeriscape - Water Conservation Landscaping

 

Seven Principles of Xeriscaping

1. Planning and design: Good landscape design is vital. There are sites on the internet offering free design plans.

2. Use mulch: Mulch keeps weeds out and water in.

3. Limit the amount of lawn.

4. Choose xeriscape plants. Native plants are perfect choices. We're slowly compiling a database of just such plants. Keep checking in with us. (click for plant list and information.).

5. Improve soil

6. Water efficiently.

7. Maintain the landscape.

 

Contrary to popular belief, xeriscaping does not limit one to gravel and cactus.
