Ground Cover That Supports Water Savings

In a xeriscape design, mulch and ground cover aren’t just cosmetic, they directly support your water savings goals by slowing evaporation and keeping soil temperatures more stable around plant roots. We select materials suited to your specific xeriscape design, whether that’s organic mulch around plantings or a more permanent rock ground cover for other zones. Proper application depth balances moisture retention with avoiding issues like crown rot from mulch piled too close to plant stems.

How Ground Cover Supports Water Savings

Mulch and ground cover slow evaporation from soil, meaning your drought-tolerant plants need less supplemental water to stay healthy through Colorado Springs’ dry summers.

Choosing Mulch vs. Rock for Different Zones

Organic mulch adds nutrients to soil as it breaks down, while our decorative rock service offers a permanent option, we help decide which fits each zone of your xeriscape.
