Xeriscape

What is Xeriscape landscaping?

Xeriscaping is the process of landscaping that reduces or eliminates the need for watering.

Fun fact: Across the U.S. nearly 9 billion gallons of water are used each day for landscape irrigation. As the need for water conservation increases, you may be interested in learning how you can use less water in your own yard.

What kind of plants can you find in a Xeriscaped landscape? 

For this approach, materials like mulch, sand, and a variety of rocks and hardscape design features can benefit your yard from suffering the consequences of a drought. The Landscaping Ninjas choose a wide variety of draught-resistant plants native to the Brazos Valley known for drought-tolerant xeriscape design. These plants often include a variety of trees, shrubs, native grasses, and ground covers that are well-suited for the soil in the College Station and Greater Brazos Valley regions. The plants that are carefully chosen by our softscaping contractors are helpful in reducing water consumption.
