You may think of our beautiful Texas hill country as the land of wine and peaches, but it is also the land of natural beauty. Texas’ beautiful native plants just might be the answer to your low maintenance needs for your own Dallas garden. Wildflowers and seasonal blooms add a unique Texas flair. These plants also protect the soil and help limit the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

The Hill country has embraced Xeriscape landscaping as its dominant style. It is environmentally friendly and allows the native features to shine. When I say native, you might be thinking cactus and rocks - and while that is part of what Texas has to offer - Texas also has a variety of colorful flowers and hearty evergreens. One way to incorporate these plants is to layer different shades of green, and to experiment with different textures.
