Xeriscaping is the art of creating water conserving landscapes by using plants that are appropriate to the natural environment.
The Term Xeriscape is derived from the Greek word, "Xeros", which means dry. Xeriscapes are not dry and dull! Well designed Xeriscapes are beautiful as well as functional.
The best Xeriscapes use a fraction of the water needed by traditional lawn dominated landscapes. Some xeric plants require little or no supplemental watering once they are established and Xeriscapes require far less ongoing maintenance.
