Xeriscaping & Water-Wise Landscaping
Beautiful, low-water landscapes designed for Colorado's climate and water restrictions.
With Denver Water and cities across the Front Range tightening outdoor watering rules, xeriscaping is no longer a compromise. Done well, a water-wise landscape is more colorful, more textured, and lower-maintenance than the thirsty bluegrass lawn it replaces.
Xeriscaping is not "zero-scaping" or a yard full of rock. It's a design approach — the seven principles pioneered right here in Denver — that pairs healthy soil, efficient drip irrigation, and Colorado-adapted plants into a landscape that thrives on a fraction of the water.
Our team designs xeric front yards, native pollinator gardens, and full turf-to-garden conversions. We handle the design and the installation — from soil amendment and drip retrofit through boulder placement, mulch, and the first season of establishment care.
Every plan balances hardscape, native and adapted planting, and a small amount of usable turf (buffalograss or dog-friendly zones) where it actually matters — so the yard still feels like a landscape, not a gravel lot.
