The word ‘xeriscape’ has become more and more popular in landscaping vocabulary over the last few years, especially in the Boulder area.
Essentially, xeriscaping is a form of landscaping that requires little to no extra water. It’s designed to be very efficient, and is perfect for Colorado’s dry climate, cold winters, and hot summers.
In our experience, quite a bit of thought and effort goes into designing a successful xeriscape.
This form of landscaping often makes use of native plants as its main staple, and our horticulture experts invest a lot of time in researching the best options to beautify your yard. Additionally, xeriscaping involves physically shaping your landscape in a way that reduces runoff and evaporation. Instead of losing water and surface area to erosion, we can make your landscaping work for you. This will let you take both the time and money you would have spent on watering and use them in whatever ways you enjoy the most!
In the past, xeriscaping has been given a somewhat negative connotation because homeowners have associated it with things like gravel, cacti, and other elements that aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing to a wide range of people. However, we have found that there are many ways to incorporate natural flowers, shrubs, and trees into your xeriscape that will create a very beautiful results. By the time we’re finished, you’ll have a hard time believing your gorgeous landscaping is a xeriscape at all!
