What Is Xeriscaping?
Xeriscaping is landscape design built around saving water. It combines drought-tolerant and native plants, rock and gravel, smart plant grouping and drip irrigation to create a yard that looks good with far less water.
It is not just rocks and cacti. A good xeriscape in Albuquerque has color, texture and structure through the seasons, and it fits the high-desert environment around you.
