Xeriscape

Xeriscape

Nature usually knows best. When it comes to landscaping our yards, we can all emulate nature by using xeriscape techniques to create a lush, attractive, and water saving yard. The word xeriscape is a combination of the Greek word "xeros," which means dry, and landscape. Put together, xeriscape means "dry landscape." Xeriscaping does not mean letting your yard go untouched and growing weeds. 

Instead, xeriscape takes advantage of naturally occurring, water frugal plants that happen to be extremely attractive. Landscapes can use large amounts of our drinking water. As valuable as drinking water is in the Valley of the Sun, it makes sense to use plants that minimize water use and water waste. Arizona’s hot and dry climate causes extremely high evaporation rates. Combine that with the low average rainfall in the Phoenix area and its obvious why xeriscape is the way to go. Xeriscape is not zero-scape (rock/granite only).

Xeriscape makes sense. 

It’s attractive, it conserves water, and it requires little maintenance.
