Xeriscaping, aka Low Water use Gardens

2/2/2016

This photo is for Conserviscape Landscape Consulting. The Owner, Tracey and I were talking about xeriscaping. I promised her to dig up some old pictures from my landscaping days. I created this Oriental garden for a client. A sprinkler expert put a drip irrigation system in that used very little water and was directed to the roots, where the water is needed. Using rocks, pebbles in the landscape is only one way of cutting down on water use and maintenance. There are many other mulches that can be used. Once the plants are established they don't need a lot of water and they hardly need any maintenance.

In the prairies we can use grasses and other hardy plants that thrive here. When a garden is designed well it can pretty much maintain itself with a little tweaking here and there. Ask Tracy for her advice on it. What you pay for her advice pays back fast in the money you save later. And the time you save your self is priceless.
