Xeriscape
Make Your Landscape Water-Wise & Beautiful
Premium water-wise and xeriscape design across Boulder County, the Front Range.
SCHEDULE CONSULTATION →Xeriscape Is Not Rock and Cactus. It Is Smart, Beautiful Design.
Xeriscape is landscape design built around plants and materials that thrive in Colorado’s dry, high-altitude climate with very little water. Done well, it is lush, layered, and full of color, not a gravel parking lot. The idea is simple: design with the climate instead of fighting it, so your yard looks great, costs less to maintain, and uses a fraction of the water of a traditional lawn.
Built for the Way Colorado’s Climate Actually Works
- Drought tolerance. Plant selections that hold up through dry summers and watering restrictions.
- Real water savings. A well-designed xeriscape can reduce outdoor water use by 50 percent or more.
- Rebate potential. Many Front Range water providers offer turf-replacement incentives that can offset part of your project.
- HOA compliance. We design to meet Front Range HOA standards and Colorado’s water-wise guidelines.
- Native and adapted plants. Species that belong here, support pollinators, and need less from you.
- Low maintenance. Less mowing, less watering, less replacing.

Xeriscape Questions, Answered

How much water can I save?
A well-designed xeriscape commonly reduces outdoor water use by 50 percent or more, year after year.
What plants work in Boulder County?
Strong performers include ornamental grasses, native perennials such as penstemon, blanket flower, and salvia, shrubs like rabbitbrush and potentilla, plus groundcovers and well-placed evergreens for winter structure.
