What is Xeriscape?
There is much discussion and focus in landscaping today around the topic of water conservation. One trending landscaping design aspect is Xeriscaping. Xeriscape is an evolving trend in landscaping that the State of Colorado is encouraging. Xeriscape means eliminating plant materials that require excessive amounts of water and replacing with drought tolerant plants/perennials and trees with a drip system. A creative xeriscape design will include outdoor living spaces and will have destinations and focal points in the design. Drip zones for the plants that have different water usages are installed to replace full sprinkler systems. Mulch, rock, dry creeks and boulders are essential pieces of the landscape to bring color and texture. Finishing off with beautiful landscape lighting for evening ambience.
Why Xeriscape?
As noted above, using Xeriscape techniques can reduce water consumption. In many areas, HOAs, cities and counties are restricting the amount of high-water consumption plant material that is allowed to be installed on a property. Xeriscape can be a beautiful and affordable solution that can create a stunning retreat. Xeriscape saves .36 cents per square foot annually on water. There are not only savings on the water bill, but also savings on time spent in the yard. Less time spent working in your yard means more time for doing things you enjoy.
Cost of Xeriscape?
The best part of Xeriscape is you can spend whatever your budget requires. This type of landscape can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. Hughes Landscaping can help you design and install the vision you have always wanted. Call 303-841-7338 today to schedule a visit with our design team.
