Xeriscaping

Xeriscape landscaping is promoted in areas that do not have easily accessible supplies of fresh water, such as Austin and some areas in Texas. Xeriscaping refers to landscaping in ways that do not require supplemental irrigation.

Xeriscape is a method of gardening. It is beautiful landscapes that are both pleasing to the eye and water conserving and it is quality landscaping that protects the enviroment. Xeriscapes depends on seven basic principles. By using these principles, you can reduce yard maintenance, use less chemicals and synthetic fertilizer, and spend more time enjoying and relaxing in your yard. Seven principles are:

• Planning and Design
• Soil Analysis
• Appropriate Plant Selection
• Practical Turf Areas
• Efficiant Irrigation
• Use of Mulches
• Appropriate Mintenance

Although xeriscaping has often been used in desert areas, xeriscaped yards can actually be quite beautiful and full of trees, plants, grasses and greenery. Some exaples of xeriscape designs are more beautiful than oasis landscape.
