Xeriscaping & Low-Water Landscaping FAQs
Answers to common questions about xeriscape conversions, drought-tolerant planting, and water-wise design in Colorado Springs.
What is xeriscaping and how is it different from regular landscaping?
Xeriscaping is a landscaping approach that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, and materials like rock and mulch to significantly reduce water use compared to traditional lawns and gardens.
How much water can xeriscaping actually save?
Xeriscaped yards typically use 50-75% less water than traditional landscaping, depending on plant selection and design.
Will a xeriscape yard still look good, or is it just rocks and gravel?
A well-designed xeriscape includes a mix of native plants, textures, and colors throughout the seasons, not just rock. It’s built to be visually interesting year round, not just water-efficient.
Can you convert my entire front or backyard to xeriscaping?
Yes, we offer complete xeriscape renovations as well as front-yard or backyard-specific conversions, depending on what you’re looking to change.
Do xeriscape landscapes still need irrigation?
Most do, but far less than traditional lawns. We typically design with drip irrigation, which delivers water efficiently right to the plant’s roots instead of spraying it broadly.
What plants do you use in xeriscape designs?
We select drought-tolerant plants suited to Colorado Springs’ climate, chosen for their ability to thrive with minimal water once established.
How long does it take for a xeriscape yard to establish?
Most xeriscape plantings take one to two growing seasons to fully establish, though the yard will look good from the day it’s installed.
