Low Maintenance, Drought Tolerant Xeriscaping

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.

Low Watering Requirements

Xeriscaping is a landscaping philosophy that uses as many native, drought-tolerant plants as possible and arranges them efficiently, and in a water-saving way so as a result, we harness the natural water and rainfall, and not the hose, to keep the plants healthy.

Money Saving

Because xeriscaping requires low water, your irrigation maintenance is reduced, saving our natural resources. Your trimming and maintenance are also less! Most xeriscape plants are hardy and native as well as attractive especially when combined with permanent stone elements and geo-steel containers.

Low Fertilizer Requirements

Xeriscaping embraces the nature of the plants and ecosystem. In doing so, they need little to no fertilizer as they are used to the rough climate and their current planting location is not taxing them. This keeps your yard looking great with reduced chemicals.

Natural Beauty

Xeriscaping is our attempt at understanding the natural plant life ecosystem and replicating it in a way that is visually pleasing. Because of this, we are recapturing an innate décor from the environment, rather than replanting annual flowers each season.

Consistently Professional!

They are consistently professional, dedicated and responsive. They spend a proper amount of time making sure their work is very detailed and precise.
