If you would rather spend your time enjoying your home than maintaining the landscape, xeriscaping may be the right approach.
Many landscapes demand constant attention. Frequent watering. Ongoing adjustments. Plants that struggle if conditions are not just right. Over time, that kind of upkeep gets tiring, especially for homeowners who expect their property to look good without daily effort.
Xeriscaping focuses on thoughtful plant selection and proper layout from the start. By choosing plants that suit the site and placing them where they naturally thrive, we reduce the need for heavy watering and constant maintenance. The landscape stays healthy and attractive, with far less water and intervention.
Done well, xeriscaping does not look sparse or unfinished. It looks complete, balanced, and easy to live with. It reduces water use, cuts down on upkeep, and still supports a polished appearance.
We are very happy with Splendid Gardens. They designed our grass-free front and backyard. Elizabeth chose beautiful trees, shrubs, and ground covering, and they look fantastic! For maintenance, the team is always on time, and their work is thorough.
