#Xeriscaping, #hardscaping and #Gravel #Gardens offers an amazing opportunity to save water and ongoing economic costs.
A well-designed outdoor area that is installed with detail and quality can be more beautiful and creative compared to standard grass.
#Water-#Saving Yard #Considerations
Consider how you want to use your outdoor spaces, and the #lifestyle you want to create. There are a large range of options to save water and not have your outdoor spaces resemble a gravel pit.
The goal is to #drastically #reduce a property’s #water #use and #maintenance costs. Using #native and #water-#wise #plants in a design can still #inspire admiration while achieving the goal.
There are many styles, color palettes and plants you can chose from to match your property aesthetics and personal preferences. From cottage to southwest styles, you can still have the garden and yard you can enjoy while being water-wise and making use of smart mulch and gravel options.
Don’t feel guilty over a little grass. Incorporating a limited amount grass may match your desired use of the property and is still possible while transforming your water consumption.
Depending on the investment, homeowners can #recoup #costs within 2-3 years of water savings.
“Water-wise” does not mean “no water.” Properly designed and installed #drip #irrigation is required to allow plants to survive and establish their root systems in the beginning years. This leads to healthy plants that require less water once mature and irrigation can be reduced during season.
It's now time to get creative and make the best use of our water resources!
