More About Xeriscape

Did you know?

The term “Xeriscape” originated with Denver Water in 1981 as a way to promote efficient water use by using native plants that thrive in Colorado’s semi-arid climate.


A well-planned Xeriscape can be beautiful year-round, providing a place for wildlife-including pollinators, while saving water and money! Xeriscapes can be low maintenance, budget friendly, and can be installed in a variety of spaces.

As it’s becoming more and more important to conserve Earth’s natural resources, especially water, Xeriscape could be the answer to your water-wise landscape design.
