Qualifying plants are generally water-wise, climate-appropriate plants that provide long-term coverage and require significantly less water than traditional turf. Common examples include:
▪ Blue Fescue ▪ Russian Sage ▪ Catmint ▪ Lavender ▪ Desert Four OÇlock
▪ Penstemon ▪ Juniper varieties ▪ Rabbitbrush ▪ Serviceberry ▪ Mugo Pine
Traditional grass landscapes often require ongoing expenses for:
❏ Water ❏ Fertilizer ❏ Weed control ❏Aeration ❏ Mowing ❏ Etc..
While xeriscaping typically has a higher upfront installation cost, it can significantly reduce long-term maintenance and water expenses. Over a 10-year period, many homeowners find that xeriscaping costs less to maintain while providing a cleaner, lower-maintenance landscape.
A properly designed xeriscape can reduce outdoor water usage by 50–75% compared to traditional lawns. Since outdoor irrigation is often the largest source of residential water consumption, converting even a portion of your lawn can lead to substantial water savings and lower utility bills.
