Xeriscape
Xeriscapes are landscape designs that utilize drought-tolerant plants and materials to conserve water. They have become increasingly popular in California as the state has faced prolonged droughts and water scarcity in recent years. Xeriscapes typically feature native plants adapted to California’s weather that require little supplemental irrigation once established. Using xeriscaping principles can reduce outdoor water usage by 50-75%, making it an ideal sustainable landscaping solution for California’s hot, dry climate. By limiting thirsty lawns and ornamentals, and replacing them with climate-appropriate plants, xeriscapes help stretch our limited water resources while providing an attractive landscape.
If you want to improve your landscape’s water efficiency, choose xeriscaping services from Afuera Landscape Designs. We are a leading landscaping company that designs and installs sustainable landscapes for our clients in and around San Diego County, CA.
