View article in a printer friendly versionPrint Article

Xeriscape is a water-conserving landscape that includes trees, plants and colorful flowers. It is an alternative to a more traditional grass yard. While grass can still be part of a Xeriscape landscape, grassy areas are limited to smaller, commonly used areas.

Xeriscape is an attractive, sustainable, and water efficient landscaping method. With Xeriscape you can create a beautiful landscape while reducing water use and maintenance.
