XERISCAPE

Use Xeriscape Strategies to save on water in Colorado.

Xeriscape is an ecologically water-wise strategy for dealing with our arid climate. The best approach to solve this problem is reducing large areas of lawn and replacing the area with a combination of landscape and organic plant life. We will evaluate the present soil conditions and prepare a conducive plan of attack.

Soil preparation and efficiency rated irrigation are the key building blocks. After this, we want to implement patios, walkways, accent boulders, decorative rock, mulch, and finally add the color of the drought tolerant plant specimens. Although grass is typically thought of as "needing" massive amounts of water, small areas of a more hybrid type of low water grass is perfectly fine, or we can eliminate the lawn maintenance by using synthetic turf.
